NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE

TGIF....for realz. It's been a tiring week which is what happens whenever I take a day off. Bossman must get his motivation on when I'm not here. All I know is playing catch-up blows. The end.
Finally finished up doing the CNS requested mani's last night. I decided that since the hubster didn't remember to put my Helmer together, I would attempt that starting at about midnight last night. I figured, "hey, can't be too hard or take too long, right?" Wrong. Talk about piss-poor instructions, or mabes I was just over tired. I just know that it did certainly not go as planned. I'll be finishing that little project this afternoon. 

Part of my plan for the weekend is to get that thing set up so I can rearrange my polishes and have a spot to put the bunch of new ones that I had no room for. I'm really hoping that I'll have a spare drawer for my blacks, whites and topcoats because those poor things are stuck in a bin on top of a Helmer at the moment along with the bins that hold all of my other art supplies. For some crazy reason, I thought having Helmers would mean I wouldn't need those bins. Sha', right.  Guess again, elk breath. I wish I could say I won't buy more, but we all know that is simply an unrealistic goal. I do not, however, have room for more than the four Helmers. God help me once that fourth one is filled.

On to the mani! I had never seen this one before. I actually had to ask for clarification after reading the description of it.
The more I look at it, the more I kind of like it. It's sort of cool, and it certainly is different. Once again, I don't know if I'd do it again, but you never know. It might be fun in some other colors.

My periwinkle for this one is Studio M Hydrangea. I love a good periwinkle, and I'm a fan of the Meijer Studio M polishes. Decent price, and I find the quality and application to be really nice.  

Pull out the trusty striping tape!!  Add those little segments of Orly Liquid Vinyl, topcoat, and then go take it off because there's one more mani to do! Perhaps you'll see that one next; perhaps not. ;)

Honestly, I love reading the comments you guys leave for me. You've all been really great, complimentary and supportive. I hope that means this little project is worth the look and the read.

Enjoy your weekend, peeps!! Rumor has it we should get into the 50's, maybe even 60 this weekend!! I'll believe it when I see it, but hope springs eternal, right?
