<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cuz of this cutie who's TWO!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, I didn't post so much because I was expecting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, because I had a baby.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And then she turned into a toddler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And today let me paint her nails!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The pointer is a representation of "The Ball" in New York's Times Square. Obviously, mine is not made of Tiffany glass and LED lights....but is sure does *SPARKLE*! I used two coats of Wet n Wild Metallica, then pressed the square jewels into it while it was still pretty tacky. I sealed it up with three coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, so it's pretty smooth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The design on my middle finger is an exploding bottle of champagne! This one contains tons of little details that took some TIME! I painted the whole bottlw with Wet n Wild Black Creme first, then added the green glow if the bottle using a combination of Orly Under the Mistletoe with a bit of Wet n Wild Metallica, with the top left side highlighted with a bit more Metallica. The label is done with Sally Hansen Bubblegum. with little dots of Wet n Wild Black Creme to give the illusion of words on the label. Then I used a tiny bit of Wet n Wild French White Creme for highlights to make the bottle look more 3D. For the top of the bottle, I used Metallica, French White Creme and Shield. Whew....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wanna see some nails.....?? I'm a bit behind on the "schedule" of the Purple Crumpet Fairy 30 Days of Christmas Challenge, but oh well! These nails were actually a design I did back in December of 2010 - when I only had THREE followers - and one of those was my MOM! LOL! Anyway, since it was a FANTASTIC design, and 86 of you followers weren't around to see it the first time.....here it is!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here’s a quick how to:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1) I started with two coats of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Emerald City. If I had it to do again, I’d use a much lighter color…like a blue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">2) Using New York Color Fifth Avenue</st1:address></st1:street> and my largest embossing tool, I made oval shapes for the reindeer heads.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3) Using a smaller embossing tool, I added triangular ears with the same bark brown.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4) With New York Color Bryant Park, a lighter brown, and my smallest embossing tool, I added three-pronged antlers and little lines to highlight the inside of the ears.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5) Next, I used Sally Hansen Hard As Nails White On and a mid-sized embossing tool to make the white parts of the eyes. I put them close together on purpose for extra cuteness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">6) The little black dots were done with Sally Hansen Black Out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">7) Using Black Out and that largest embossing tool, I made big black noses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">8) and then using the smallest embossing tool, I made the smiles on the sides.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Done! Easy!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To make a Rudolph:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">7a) Using White and the largest embossing tool for the nose</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">7b) Then I used Sally Hansen Cherry Red and that largest embossing tool to make the red nose on top of the white</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">7c) Made the nose look "lit" by adding a small line of white on the top right.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He was actually pretty easy too!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1) I used Sally Hansen Hard As Nails White On and my largest embossing tool to make the entire shape with white...yes, the whole thing, beard, head, hat and all with white.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2) Using Sally Hansen Cherry Red, I painted the red hat on top of the white I had just painted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3) With New York Color Bryan Park, I painted a rounded rectangle for the face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4) Made eyes like the Reindeer steps 5 & 6</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5) I used CG Boundless Color Pink Taffy to make two dots for rosy cheeks</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

Nice to see you again...sorry I was MIA. Extended holiday and all that jazz. Plus four broken nails. It's not pretty. I've missed you. And I'm glad to be back!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here's where I jump into the Purple Crumpet Fairy 31 Days of Christmas Challenge: a combination of Days 9 & 10 - Most Festive Green and Most Festive Red. (More about that challenge at the end of this post)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First a disclaimer - these are not my real nails. :( I broke off FOUR nails in one sickening *pop* when I tried to open a frozen-shut car door. My hand slipped off the handle and all four nails snapped...down to the quick. It was painful and I was so mad that I cried! The newly-exposed skin at my fingertips was so sensitive that touching soft things was excruciating! To cope, I put on falsies....Ok...enough of a pity party - on to the nails!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I started with my favorite base coat - Sally Hansen Double Duty. It's getting a bit thick at the bottom of this bottle, so it will have to be replaced soon. My Most Festive Red is my new e.l.f Red Velvet from my Secret Santa exchange in Polishaholics Anonymous on Facebook. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After putting on the Red Velvet, I used a small square of a kitchen sponge to add Zoya Ginessa. I had intended to stop there....but something was missing.....so I grabbed my My Most Festive Green, which is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Emerald City, and added just a bit of that on the tips - perfect!!</span></div>

And I broke off FOUR nails on my left hand (the one I photograph!), so I've taken a bit of an extended holiday...... But I'll be back in the saddle again later on today as I jump into the Purple Crumpet Fairy 31 Days of Christmas Challenge! I missed a few....but later on today, I'll be posting a combined Day 9 & Day 10 Most Festive Green and Most Festive Red!</span><br />

I took off the<a href="http://nojunknail.blogspot.com/2011/11/plaid-nails.html" target="_blank"> Plaid Nails</a>, and it took forever! I was using non-acetone remover :( By the time I got all that blue off my nails, it was LATE...but I had to put <i>something </i>on my nails....so I went looking through my Wet n Wild Fast Dry polishes for something "Fall-ish" and settled on The Gold and the Beautiful. After 3 coats (or was it 4?) I called it a night and went to bed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And they stayed bare gold for two days! *gasp* I wasn't really enamored with the plain gold, but hadn't had time to do anything else....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then last night, I turned pure gold into leopard!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This design is great because you don't have to be perfect! Just like my <a href="http://nojunknail.blogspot.com/2010/11/eat-mor-chikin.html" target="_blank">Cow Spots</a>, you don't have to make perfect dots for this! I used a dotting tool and NYC Fifth Avenue for the brown spots. Then used my smallest dotting tool to add "C" shapes and "( )" shapes to the spots with Wet n Wild Black Creme. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Polish-aholics Anonymous Monday Nail Art Challenge was plaid! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This was my first attempt at plaid, and I'm pleasantly surprised. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's the first pic...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used Zoya Phoebe for the background here. It's a gorgeous, pearly matte. Blue polishes like this one have a reputation for staining...badly. Plus, matte polishes have a tendency to chip easily. So I started this mani with a single layer of Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top coat, wrapping the tips - which means putting polish on the flat outer edge of the nail. This helps prevent chipping. After that had dried really well, I added a single layer of Zoya Phoebe, wrapping the tips. The matte polish dries really quickly and the first coat looked really streaky, but that's to be expected. When Phoebe was dry, I added another base coat layer, again wrapping the tips. Then two coats of Phoebe, wrapping the tips, to finish it all off. Whew - that's 5 layers of polish! Hopefully, that layering will help this polish last, since obviously, I can't put a no-chip top coat on top of the matte!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To make the burberry-esque pattern, I started with white Kiss Nail Art Paint, a striping polish, and hand-painted both a vertical and horizontal stripe. I waited to that to dry because when I was testing out this idea on paper, I learned that without letting the polish dry, my next layer would cause some serous smearing. The next layer was the black on the sides of the white. When that was dry, I added the pink. All three (white, black, and pink) are hand-painted with Kiss Nail Art. To see more of exactly what these polishes look like, go <a href="http://nojunknail.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-in-family-review-of-kiss-nail.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To clean-up around the side cuticles and the base of the nail, I used a small brush dipped in pure acetone.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been working really hard at being more "neat" as I polish my nails. I'm trying really hard to have less on my fingers. The hardest part has been not "flooding the cuticle." In nail polish circles, it's best if you don't get polish all the way to the base of the nail, but instead leave just a little bit of a gap. This is difficult! But I'm getting MUCH better, as you can see below...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Earlier this week, a member of Polish-aholics Anonymous on Facebook alerted us that Dollar General had a bunch of Wet n Wild Craze collection in 6paks for $4! So I ran to my local DG and SCORE! 12 bottles for $8 = $0.66 each!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ALSO, on that very same day, my first ZOYAS arrived! I got 4! On Halloween, Zoya ran a promo code that allowed you to get 2 free polishes and just pay shipping! I used 2 different e-mail accounts and ordered a total of 4 polishes! 4 bottles for $14 of shipping cost = $3.50 each (each bottle is usually $8!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I am the QUEEN of cheap polish! LOL! (See my </span><a href="http://nojunknail.blogspot.com/2011/10/mega-haul-photos.html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Walgreen's haul</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, too.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I LOVE how different the Beetle looks in these two photos (above and below)! <br />Beetle changed colors every time I moved!</span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been hearing this one on the radio as the stations ramped up for Halloween, and it got me to thinking....NAIL ART! (cuz let's face it, everything makes me think ;nail art'!) Plus, as I've mentioned before I don't do the scary part of Halloween. So <b>Purple People Eaters </b>sounded like a really FUN and CUTE Halloween idea!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>TUTORIAL:</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. Start with base coat. I used Sally Hansen Double Duty.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. Apply a french tip with white. I used Wet n Wild Shine French White Creme'. It doesn't have to be perfect, because part of it will be covered up, so don't stress about an even edge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6xNF4gnfzlhiJtt2ItkRx1qjeolVWMIFQw40ewe7MNvAevIHekNIELkqsfZCizu28iKgjQ8hkWgGPfJ3SMu3CFzM5DL7rg8-VHJtRP4cLVT8WF1CHTr0_Y2JjARsohDsd9woKyE07HBa/s1600/PurplePeopleEater1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6xNF4gnfzlhiJtt2ItkRx1qjeolVWMIFQw40ewe7MNvAevIHekNIELkqsfZCizu28iKgjQ8hkWgGPfJ3SMu3CFzM5DL7rg8-VHJtRP4cLVT8WF1CHTr0_Y2JjARsohDsd9woKyE07HBa/s400/PurplePeopleEater1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. Add a 'blob' of purple. Again, no need to be perfect. It'll be covered up in a bit. I used Pure Ice No Means No.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmgV3evD3yc-gzIZLbpzQbB7_sSzbeztJkGZrM6GB4yWhJcM60ouqPKFm2yOx1-S4u2kSuEpI1xKuD6defHVWe3qeVyMh_kGZ3dfqGqBd2C1QqKlH_JyAekkQa3avvI6Im15ac28BQLsK/s1600/PurplePeopleEater2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmgV3evD3yc-gzIZLbpzQbB7_sSzbeztJkGZrM6GB4yWhJcM60ouqPKFm2yOx1-S4u2kSuEpI1xKuD6defHVWe3qeVyMh_kGZ3dfqGqBd2C1QqKlH_JyAekkQa3avvI6Im15ac28BQLsK/s400/PurplePeopleEater2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. On foil (or other palette), swirl together several purple polishes. I used Pure Ice No Means No, Cover Girl Grapevine, Wet n Wild Shine Eggplant Frost, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Deep Purple, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac, and Pure Ice Frosted Ice New Lilac. Use a small brush to swirl.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5. Dip brush into several shades of purple, then dab or blot onto nail in random patterns to make a 'fuzzy' look. Dab brush up over the bottom line of the French tip. All of this is the "fur" of the Purple People Eater's face.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">6. Using a small brush or a small dotting tool, make the Purple People Eater's 'horn'. I used a small dotting tool and a mixture of Wet n Wild Fast Dry The Gold and the Beautiful and The Wonder Yellows.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">7. Using a large dotting tool, make the white a part of the 'one eye'. I used Wet n Wild French White Creme'.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

I know! I'm like the last one on the boat, here! :D I found a gorgeous teal blue at Claire's that sadly doesn't have a name (at least that I could find). For this mani, I got to use three brand new polishes - Wet N Wild Fast Dry 9.0.2.1.Orange, a Claire's nameless glow-in-the-dark green polish, and a Claire's nameless teal crackle. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I started with a basecoat of Sally Hansen Double Duty, then I used two coats of my new Wet n Wild Fast Dry 9.0.2.1.Orange - a gorgeous glass-flecked, well, duh, orange! Two coats still left a visible nail line, but since I knew I'd be adding crackle over the top, I left it that way. Plus, I kinda like it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Next, I added two coats of Claire's green-ish, very sheer, glow-in-the-dark polish which has some glitter in it. In <a href="http://nojunknail.blogspot.com/2011/10/pink-striped-ts-nails.html">T's Nails</a>, we discovered that two coats of this polish are needed to get a good glow-in-the-dark. The picture shows the two coats. Some of the glass-flecks are a little dimmer, but it still looks really pretty, I think. And it now glows in the dark!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After all was dry, I added another top coat. Have you been counting layers? That's a EIGHT-LAYER SALAD of polishes! (base, orange, orange, glow, glow, topcoat, crackle, topcoat) I'm loving this! Did I mention it GLOWS?! The crackle blocks out parts of the glow, so just the cracks glow - SO COOL!</span></div>

Her witch outfit was pink and black striped with some frillies, so we decided on this design....</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">WE started with two coats of a hot pink Cosmo polish that has no name, then two coats of a no-name glow in teh dark polish from Claire's. The black stripes were done with Kiss Nail Art Paint. The black blocks out some of the glow, so they glow stripes! Hope "T" had fun at her party!! :D</span></div>
