Hey Peeps! Hope you're all planning to have a fabu weekend. Personally, I'm going to one of my honorary daughter's baby shower. I'm also hoping we don't get the 5 to 8 inches of wet, heavy snow they're predicting. In April! Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe this nonsense.

Since I still haven't decided what to do with my nails tonight, I thought I'd post pics of a couple of my past favorites. To those of you in my numerous FB nail groups, my apologies in advance for showing stuff you've already seen. For the other 15 of my followers that don't already know me or my nails, I hope you like! ;)

First up is one that I really loved when I did it in September. I should probably re-do this one of these days because I love anything with a color change.
 Purdy, right?? I used HITS Cutie Pie and then did my stamp by putting China Glaze Metallic Muse on one-half of the Konad stamp with China Glaze Admire on the other half. I spent a lot of time looking at this one. You know, the kind of mani where you probs should be driving because it's much more fun to watch a polish change colors than it is to watch the road. I did manage to make it back and forth to work safely, though. 

Next up was my first attempt at a framed mani. Sometimes I like these when I see them; sometimes not so much, but I thought it would be a challenge to do one. Kinda' cute. Definitely not the best thing I ever did but surely not the worst. You can thank me later for not showing you the worst. If I did, you'd all run screaming in the opposite direction, and I'd never see you again.
Here I've got Zoya Kendal which is such a sweet color stamped with Julep Gayle. Then I took a small brush and hand framed all around it. This whole framing thing works pretty well for me since most of the Konad stamping plate designs aren't big enough to cover my entire nail. SO frustrating! This isn't even my longest set of nails; it's my fashion length. I hate that I have some Konad and Bundlemonster plates that I now avoid simply because they're too small. Framing them out is at least a good way for me to fill it out.

Now that it's 10:40 p.m., perhaps I should quit screwing around on here and do my nails. Where did the evening go??  I bid you adieu until manana. (see what I did there? used 2 languages I don't even speak? LMAO)
