This is the first mani that I have posted since December of last year. I have to say it feels good to be able to post in my diary again. I'm posting a mani that I thought turned out pretty well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MNE-MWv-vMA/VFhULnmmx9I/AAAAAAAAAhA/zg6hlQx3uPI/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MNE-MWv-vMA/VFhULnmmx9I/AAAAAAAAAhA/zg6hlQx3uPI/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B1.jpg" height="194" width="320" /></a></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
What I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SINFUL COLORS: "Prosecco"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PURE ICE: "Black Out"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
INM: "Out The Door"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FgonEpPvke8/VFhUWNtIfyI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/eKFh12Cb_SA/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FgonEpPvke8/VFhUWNtIfyI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/eKFh12Cb_SA/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B2.jpg" height="320" width="285" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So I simply painted two coats of "Prosecco" on all my nails, except my ring finger which got a "Prosecco" French tip. Then topped them off with "Out The Door".</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39P4mlnAc5Q/VFhUV6e22-I/AAAAAAAAAhM/MfOZmbVVGa4/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-39P4mlnAc5Q/VFhUV6e22-I/AAAAAAAAAhM/MfOZmbVVGa4/s1600/Fall%2Btree%2B3.jpg" height="174" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they were done drying, I used my stamping plate GA38 to make myself a tree shape. At the moment I don't have a stamping plate with a tree to I had to improvise. Easy enough right?'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I just started adding glitter from my loose glitter collection all around my stamped "tree" to give it a Fall look. I used yellow, orange, and green glitter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it turned out pretty cool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Easy Peasy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I welcome your comments.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I started
off with two coats of “WIRED” on my index and pinkie nails, and two coats of

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I started with two coats of </span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“<u>BARE IT
ALL</u>” on my ring/accent finger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<u>BARE
IT ALL</u>” is a stunning gold glitter with tiny bits of red mixed in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find myself always trying to find a way to
wear this polish. I just love the way it sparkles!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Next I applied two coats of “<u>I WON’T TELL</u>”
to the rest of my nails. This is an untried polish in my stash and makes it
eligible for my challenge group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
chocolate brown shade with little gold flecks in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It applied beautifully and it’s pretty, I like
it. </span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And I used PLATE GA37 and “<u>BOLD GOLD</u>” to
stamp on the image.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This one turned out pretty. One person who loved
this mani said that they looked so elegant that she felt I should be wearing a
sparkly ball gown to go with them! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">WOW! is what I
have to say about this particular polish! I wore this polish as a stamping base
on an accent finger for one of my challenge groups a few posts ago and thought
it was an amazing polish then, but now that I’ve had the chance to wear it as a
main polish, I’m blown away! This polish reminds me of Discos and Christmas all
at the same time, but looks amazing as it’s indented purpose as a Halloween
polish. </span></div>

O.K. here is where things get fun. These are E.L.F. polishes. I had never heard of E.L.F. until I grabbed these two. Unfortunately, neither one has a polish name on them so I have dubbed them as follows: ORANGE GLITTER ELF and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LAVENDAR ELF.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am wearing the LAVENDAR ELF right now, and I am in love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I belong to two challenge groups, that I have not yet participated in (Bad girl!) due to work and family health issues, but I am using the LAVENDAR ELF as my base for this weeks stamping challenge. I can't wait to show you that post!!</div>

These two are COLOR CRAZE. Another polish brand I had never found in my area.....loved these colors. My guy really liked the blue one, hopefully he will still like it once I have had the opportunity to used it!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Today I am sharing a mani I never intended to share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a… *quick! get something on your nails!* mani.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just needed something to get me through the yard work I was about to undertake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Let me preface this post by saying how sorry I am that I don't have a lot of pics.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ok, here’s the story, my guy cut down a tri-palm in our front yard and in doing so, altered the front landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My job in this project was to fix the landscape after the removal…..hey, at least I wasn’t the one who had to chop down the tree!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I needed a mani that could withstand laying a brick boarder, so naturally, I went for a glitter. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Glitters are tough stuff!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">My base is two coats of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“<u>FLYING DRAGON</u>”. This polish is a purple with a very soft hint of silver speckles. I’ve had this polish for a long time now and this is the first time I’ve worn it. I quite like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I then added another polish I’ve had for awhile but haven’t had the opportunity to use, and that is “<u>NEVER SATISFIED</u>”, I applied two coats. “<u>NEVER SATISFIED</u>” is a clear based highly dense glitter polish. I LOVE IT!! It has teeny tiny blue square glitter and larger pink, purple and gold round glitter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I topped all my nails off with INM’s “<u>OUT THE DOOR</u>” fast drying topcoat.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Tadow! Look at those bingers! The first image at the beginning of this post was taken indoor, and was taken after I was done with the yard work….by about two days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I added the little blue gem to my ring finger on a whim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Like I said, I had never intended to post this mani, but it is so dang pretty that I had to share it, even if the picture is after a few days of wear. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I started with two coats of “<u>CHANTILLY PEACH</u>”, a beautiful pearlized peach-y color. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I started with one coat of “<u>BARE ROSE</u>” to
give my nails a soft pink hue. When I think of cherry blossoms I think of
Japan. When I think of Japan, I think of simplistic beauty, so I didn’t want my
nails to have a base coat that would make them too busy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Next I used my water based acrylic paints to paint
on branches and used a dotting tool to make tiny pink dots to represent my
cherry blossoms then added a little bit of glitter using “<u>DISCO LIGHTS</u>”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, I topped it off with one coat of “<u>OUT

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Next, I used a make-up sponge and randomly applied
my three colors of: “<u>24/7</u>”, “<u>ORANGE FLAME</u>” & “<u>SOLAR FLARE</u>”
directly onto the sponge then onto each nail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I like get my sponge wet before using it so the sponge doesn’t soak up
all the polish before I can transfer it onto my nails. After that layer was dry
I added my nail art with “<u>LIQUID LEATHER</u>”.</span></div>

night mani.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every Friday night, my guy
and I have what we call “Date Night”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The rules are: no cell phones, no television, no interruptions! We turn
on our choice of music, pour some wine and make a nice dinner together while we
chat. We then light candles and have a lovely dinner. We spend the rest of the
evening just catching up, or making plans for the weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The point is to get some very quality one on
one time together every week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway,

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After all my nails were
dry, I used scotch tape (stick the tape to the palm of your hand a few times
before using to reduce the stickiness, that way it won’t pull the under polish
up with it when you remove it.) to tape off the wonky “plus” shape on my pinky.
Then I painted over the entire nail with “<u>Buttercup</u>” and removed the
tape right away but slowly. I gave that nail a few moments to dry a tad, and then
floated a coat of “<u>Out The Door</u>” fast drying topcoat over the entire
nail. I followed this process for each nail, and this is the outcome! I think
it turned out quite nice. However, I can see that this “<u>Buttercup</u>”
pooled in dark patches, so my mani has patches of dark yellow……which I would
normally be upset by, but in this case, I turned out cool looking. ☺<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Then removed the tape immediately, and moved on to my next nail and followed
the same process alternating the height on the lateral line as well as the color….and
so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all was dry, I used a nail
art brush to apply two vertical lines in alternating colors on each nail
(again, except my ring finger).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s super cute and super
easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I usually do some kind of version
of this mani every summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so
versatile, you can do just about anything you can think of or that you can
paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the past I have added, bees,
frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, ladybugs, trees, birds, the sun, clouds, a
pond….seriously, go nuts!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“grass” idea for an Easter mani and “hid” the eggs in the grass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or you can make the “blades” of grass thicker
and use red paint for flames.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
