Monkey See, Monkey Do!

Hi Readers! Welcome to the weekend!  Anyone have big plans?  On Sunday I'm getting together with my family for our annual corned beef and the trimmings dinner.  I always cook the corned beef and my little sister cooks the cabbage, carrots, potatoes and parsnips (yes parsnips! that's our non traditional twist on it I guess lol).  This year my folks are here instead of in Florida and my dad is THRILLED to be able to get in on the corned beef action!  We're going to have a game night of Guesstures again so I can only hope to get out of that one unscathed!
Even though I've had some way cool mani's the past couple of days I'm really just a novice stamper/nail artist.  I've been doing this for a year now--stamping that is and I still have a lot to learn.  You already know some of my idols are Carolina from Colores De Carol, Cris from Let Them Have Polish, Kayla from Kayla Shevonne, Sarah from Chalkboard Nails, and of course my internet daughter Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails.  I, not too long ago, discovered my blog crush which is nailXchange.  She pretty much blows me away!  I love all her ideas, all her color combinations, and her nails are freaking perfect.  It's sickening actually lol!  I love a love/hate relationship with her much like Kayla but with her it's the polishes she always seems to find.  When I first saw this post I feel in love with Sephora Moody Woman and then was hacked when I discovered oh hey you can't get it in the states.  So thank you Google when I discovered Missha HRG01 is a dupe for it!  You can't get Missha in the states either but that didn't stop me from buying this baby on ebay!  It's really gorgeous a nice metallic light green to blue duochrome.  Today I've recreated nailXchange's mani AND I made a matching ring of it to boot!
There's the mani, here's the pretty ring!
I managed to take a shot of this in the natural light of the living room (rainy day outside today) so you could see some of the beauty of the blue coming through.
See that priority box up there in the corner??? That's my order from Dollar Nail Art which means more foils woot!  Be prepared to see some of those in the near future!
I really like this mani alot.  It's not a BAM in your face like my last two, it's just a straight forward simple mani that's really pretty.  To get this look I did 2 coats of HGR01 and then stamped with Kleancolor Black using RA-109.


I hope whatever plans you have for the weekend you have fun doing them!


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Wonder Twin Power Activate! Form of . . . a gorgeous mani!

Hi Readers!  Are any of you old enough to know what today's title means??? Obviously I am lol!  The Wonder Twins were part of the Super Friends cartoon--Zan and Jayna.  Zan can transform into any state of water--solid, liquid or gas.  His twin sister's Jayna can transform into any kind of animal real or mythological.  
Here they are in case you needed a blast from the past!
I have a wonderful friend Crystal whom I loving refer to as Wonder Twin--you've seen her fingers before here.  Recently she was CRAZY enough to sell this to me in an attempt of hers to do some polish house cleaning!
Orly Galaxy Girl!  Holy cow it's gorgeous!
It's really unique, to me it's a red brown type jelly with this incredible blue sparkle. Here it is with flash
This one is actually pretty enough to wear with no stamping but we all know what happens when I say that!
Yep I stamp on it!  Isn't this gorgeous readers?????!!!!!!
Here's a flash pic of it--I really don't like the flash on this new old camera I got because it overexposes my hand SO much BUT beggars can't be choosers!
I love this image!! It's from RA-109
To get this look I did 2 coats of Orly Galaxy Girl then used China Glaze Adore and Emotion by just blobbing them in different spots on the flowery image on RA109. Here are the polishes I used.
I really like my Wonder Twin--she's super nice and very sweet--a little foolish to give up this Galaxy Girl though if you ask me!  Here we are together
I'm on the left and she's on the right--kind of hard to take a decent looking pic of yourself lol!!!
Now of course the above pic is just what we look like in our every day lives when we are the Wonder Twins we look like this!
Hahahahahah! OMG this picture of us cracks me up!


Well that's it for today readers great polish, great mani and great Wonder Twins combo!!!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!
