Hallowen #3 new nails

New Halloween nails !

I didn't like the nails I had before so I did a whole new set .... I even did new tips. These are clear gel builder Overlay , over medium nail tips

.

I painted them black to go with my Halloween costume I am going to be a Witch. When get closer to Halloween I think I am going to add some silver stars to match the sleeves on my costume .

I think I could really use some pointers on filing near the cuticle and doing a more neater paint job . However I kind of like these I did them longer than I usually do . I guess you could call these Halloween Talons lol.

black and orange pumpkins

We took the kids , little Richard and Miss Nat Nat to the church Festival and The Pumpkin Patch this weekend . Than Little Ricky and I did the CHOC Walk on Sunday at Disney Land.

I used IM plate M44 and M13 the Pumpkin Design!!! I still need to work on shaping of my nails.

I find that at times I don't use enough gel and the shapes often are off some are longer , some are shorter . The shapes are not very neat .

Know what they say practice makes perfect and I am constantly doing my nails . It's pretty much become an obsession almost . I do hope that once I get to where I should be that I won't be doing them as frequent and that I'll spend less time doing them . I am hoping to produced neater and cleaner nails .

Halloween skulls and spiders !

Here is another manicure . I decorated my Yard Yesterday and one of my nails broke :( darn Yard work . I had bought some "Happy Halloween " stuff , but ended up doing the Yark in "Spooky Halloween".

I put up awsome tomb stones and skulls on my lawn and I have two scarey monsters. One is hanging in a tree and the other is sitting on my bench . I hope the kiddies don't get scared !

On to my Mani , the broken nail was easily repaired and being in the Halloween mood , I decided to do a Halloween Mani . I bought this amazing orange color at Walgreens for $1.00.

I used Sinful nail colors in Courtney Orange . It's nice Orange and isn't shocking or electic , a nice fall color. I choose the skulls from IM plat M13 and the spider from IM plate M1.

I even did my toes to match . I love my Konad stamps !

Black Rose with red polish Halloween Mani

My new mani for the week . Saturdy I have my entire family doing the Diabetes Walk at Knotts Berry Farm this Saturday.

My Father is a type 1 diabetic and my husband is a type two diabetic . I am hoping that the walk with educate both the men in my life . We are going to be walking 3 miles .

After the walk , My husband , myself , my best friend and our Friend's son are going to go shooting . It's going to be a busy weekend !!

I did a red manicure to represent the diabetes walk , they call people who walk that have diabetes "red Striders" So I choose the color for them . I choose a black rose because it's Halloween time !!! My first halloween manicure . I can't wait to do more . I got an amazing oranage color I can't wait to use.

pretty bows for a lil girl

Its a girl .

My very good friend Vanessa is having a baby girl . This Weekend is her baby shower . Seems we all have babies now ... She is the last of our circle .

First it was my best friend , than me than my twin sister and now her . I can't believe how much things have changed and how fast time goes .

I have the greatest times as a single girl with this girl and I know as mothers were all gonna have a blast . I can't wait for her baby shower this weekend and to meet her little girl.

Of course I had to do a manicure for the festivities !! I used finger paints nail color in pen and ink pink and Konad special polish in white with image M 56. Still using the IBD gels , they are awsome .

I changed the picture ,the previous picture I messed up my nails and used the wrong gel , because of this they were weak and broke so easily. How did I find out I used the wrong gel. Well I thought maybe I did something wrong so I looked up a vedio on how to do gel nails step my step.

The directions state to use builder gel , I looked and seen that I have two clear gels , One is clear gel and the other is clear builder gel. I also learned how to do them and not touch the cuticles , which is a reason why they were lifting so much . So far they have been standing up really nicely , I think I need more practice on my filing techique , I do have an electric drill but read that used a 180 grit file is better . I still love my gel nails !!! Utube rocks big time and IBD gel is a great product .

Fall nails and my new tattoo .

I did a new manicure , IDB gel nails , I still need to perfect my filing and get my applying technique down .

For this Manicure I decided to use a nice brown color for fall. I used Cocoa Crisp Sally Hansen Instra Dry , and Konad special polish in a dark brown with Image plate M2.

Today the family and I went to our local tattoo parlor in Long Beach Ca, to get my first tattoo.

The hubby and I have been talking about me getting tattoo. This week we celebrated our third wedding aniversay and decided to celebrate by getting Tattoos . He already has two . He he he now were even !

Getting a tatto was quite an experience , yes it hurt !!! But it was well worth it , and the place where I got my tattoo made it an awsome experience . I got tattooed in one of the oldest tattoo Parlors in Long Beach ca, . It came out better than I could imagine .

I added a better pic of my nails !
