August Notebook

Well, here I am again one month later. Here's a run down of the few manis that I did for August. Or in other words, this was my IG feed for August. If you follow me on IG, these are all review. 

I started August with this flower dotticure using Signet Nails Kiss Off, Yoko 3000 and Hashbrown No Filter. It is a jelly sandwich with a design in the middle rather than glitter. 

Still working with Signet Lacquers, I then did a simple design using Tainted Love and Bells And Whistles.

It's Signet Again. This is my green wrap using, New Leaf, Out Of The Woods, and Opulent Okra with some added gold with my Strip Rite.

I was on a roll last month with Signet. Lauren was closing up shop and wanted her customers to do designs if possible. This is her Opal Flash over Dolf with an added top coat and studs.

This is Signet's thermal Tear The Roof Off over Dolf with some added stamping.

My last Signet mani. I did classical Greek vases using Lapis Lazuli over Yoko 3000.

Took some time off with Zoya's new Naked Manicure system.

O.K., I got bored and ended up topping it with Nfu-Oh'sFlakie #48

I started trying a new nail prep this month from Sallys.

And talk about new. Kim Michelle Colour has yet to release their first line of colors although she has some nail care items. I LOVE her cuticle balm in the Honeysuckle scent! This is her Teal Me Your Fantasy.

I needed a color to match this top which has a very colorful dragon embroidered on the front. The perfect match was Priti NYC's Wedgewood Blue.

My neon mani for the Hobby Polish Blogger's August Linkup. Again, I am using Signet polishes. The are Stranger Danger Ranger (yellow base), Slutsicle Orange, and Hashbrown No Filter.

I then went to a copy cat mani from The Polish Dude and paired KB Shimmer's A Pigment Of My Imagination with my Starbucks duochrome drink cup.

My final mani was a Galaxy using all Indies for Nail Art Nation's Indie week challenge. I use the following: 
Signet Nails: Dolf, Tainted Love and Yuko3000
Ruby White Tops: Ashley Rose (thermal( Chai Maintenance, Misfit Toys and Here Piggy Piggy
My-Stash Lacquer: Shaken Not Stirred

Well that's it. For me, this was a lot in one month. I hope you enjoyed my photo. So until next month, Take care and shine on. Terri.

Like Love

Good Evening, 

This is a rare time for me to post. But this one just wouldn't wait!

I fell in love with one of Lynnderella's Valentine numbers and had to have it. I only have four of hers (including this one). There isn't going to be a lot of talk, just pictures.

I just love the neon colors of this polish and it can look great on about any color.

This is Like Love with Pritti NYC's Lady Betty Balfour and Signet Nail's Violet Femme.

I wanted separate bottle shots. Pritti NYC is a great polish and I don't see it around on blogs to much. But I know they do a lot of New York Fashion Week.  Priti NYC can be found here. Lady BB is described as a deep violet with a opalescent finish. It seems to be a tad streaky in a camera shot but I really don't notice that when I wear it. And I like the shimmer which Priti NYC doesn't mention. 

And now I have Signet Nail's Violet Femme. I will say up front that this one is going to get a post of it's own. I have become a "Lauren" fan. She is out of Mississippi and has a creative spark and sense of humor that I like. Signet Nails can be found on ETSY

Violet Femme is a lavender sheer jelly base with flashes of amethyst shimmer. It is one of her latest. Can we say gorgeous? As I mentioned, this one will be on by itself after this week is over.

That's it....I hope your enjoyed this post. I just love  Like Love. What do you think? And do you find a Lynn that you just can't live without?

Sleep tight,  Terri

Pick-N-Mix #4-Yves Saint Laurent's Russian Collection-Fall 1976

We are are at week four of the "52 Week Pick And Mix" nail challenge. The prompts this time around were The 70's and/or grey with color. I only went with one of the prompts and chose "The 70's".

Yves Saint Laurent's 1976 Fall Russian collection was my inspiration. My design is taken from a beautiful paisley shawl/scarf from that collection.

From Left to Right:

• Wet N Wild's Black Light Party

To find specific designs, I used a simplified nail shaped view finder.

There Was A Wedding

 Well, the wedding has come and gone. My baby is married. We worked on nail ideas earlier this summer and this is what she decided on.

 I am sharing two nails from the wedding. The first is Rachelle's, the bride. And I am proud to say she did them herself.  I can't show you the polishes because, although mine, they are at their apartment and they are in the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon.
