Newspaper Nails LTNC
Hey y'all!
Can you believe it's already Wednesday and May is almost over? Zoom zoom zoom! This week's prompt for the Technique Challenge is Newspaper Nails - a technique that I had never tried and which lived up to the name "challenge."

GOT Polish Challenge - I got the Blues
Hey y'all!
I'm still playing catch-up today, and so I have yesterday's GOT Polish look today in Blue. I'm not entirely sure where I was going with this. I only had one legitimate oldie blue polish in my stash, the same L'Oreal that I used in last week's Stripes look, so I set about working with that and another oldie in what all started as a saran wrap mani and morphed into... well, you be the judge.

Christmas Puke
Hey y'all!
Today I have a funny little mani fail to show you that I like to call Christmas Baubles, aka Christmas Puke. Originally I had thought I would capture the effect of all the bits and bobs on a Christmas tree cascading down my nails. In reality, it just looked awful, but it tickles me so I thought I'd show you.

Llama Nails Holiday Challenge week 8: Kwanzaa
Hey y'all!
So, this has been an interesting week so far. I had a ginormous fail on my first attempt at today's challenge theme (pic at the bottom of the post), I received a great prize I won in a giveaway (and posted about it yesterday), picked a winner for my giveaway, and almost adopted another dog who wandered into our garden yesterday. He's back home where he belongs now, but since he didn't have tags, I was sorely tempted to convince Hubby to let me keep him, because he really is very sweet and I feel bad because I have listened to him whine and cry outside pretty much since the neighbors got him earlier this summer. However, he has a little buddy who did not follow him through the fence, so I feel better at least knowing he's not just a little dog living outside by himself.
I'm also in the process of working with an independent rep in the US to get some content that I'm fairly sure will be the first UK introduction to this cosmetic line. The line is planning on expanding into the UK in 2014 and I'm psyched to be on the front lines of it. Samples should be coming to me soon, and I'll have some reviews and swatches for you when that happens. Exciting!

Mani(c) Monday: Why I should swatch before I make "ze arts"
So I realize this says Mani Monday and it's being posted on Tuesday. My intended schedule is to do new manis on Mondays, swatch/reviews on Saturdays, and a lifestyle/catching up post somewhere mid-week, moving forward. I learned a valuable lesson yesterday - always swatch new stuff before starting a mani. I also realize that should've been common sense, but my brain works... differently.
It has been a bit warmer than last week, but although it's not raining, the air is heavy and laden with lots of moisture. Isis and I went to the dog park yesterday, first thing, because I wanted to wear her out a little bit before I went grocery shopping. Last weekend we had an "incident" - hubby and I walked down to the Onion Fayre and after a bit of conversation about it, he convinced me that we shouldn't take her with us. After we'd been home for about an hour we left again to go to the store. When we returned, she had let us know exactly what she thought of us leaving her twice in one day by demolishing the vinyl flooring at the back door leading into the conservatory, and scratching up a bit of the door as well. Since then, we've been a bit more diligent about taking her for long walks to work off some of that excess energy. ANYWAY... so we walked through the arboretum and I noticed that my sneakers have worn out and my feet started getting wet because, as I said, the air is... moist. Long story short, the dog didn't destroy anything while I was out, but I need to buy new tennies.
