I RETURN! Barely survived....

So back on the internet I am. And being offline for a week nearly killed me due to boredom, I started strong with entertaining myself with painting my nails, then I started sleeping a lot... and then I just went crazy and had to leave the house for a bit lest I go totally coo-coo. But here I am back again. With lots of pictures. I'll stagger the posts, and not throw them all at you at once. Well start with some swatches and then go into some other stuff, but for now I just want to say, I'm happy to be online again!

See you guys in a bit!

Whoopsies, how time doth fly.

Here it is almost a month since my last post. Sorry about that. I have two paint jobs to share, and a count update. First the more boring of the things to share, my bedroom wall has a new addition. It is a fourth polish rack. Dear lord what have I become.

That is just over 200 bottles of polish. I swear I don't have a problem. ; n;

Anyway for new year I did a fireworks themed paint job and I was not thrilled with it but it was still fun.

The fireworks designs were done with acrylic art paint and the base color I am sad to say I have forgotten the brand and color of polish. Shame on me.

And finally something I tried a couple days ago. Interlocking dots!

Interlocking dots are super fun and pretty easy to do. I messed these up before I had a chance to clean them up completely but at least I got one picture even if they are messy as heck (even by my standards). The colors here were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet and Lacy Lilac.

Sometime around the 8th of next month I will have another bit of nail art to share. Hopefully I can pull it off without too many flubs. Later today, or maybe Tuesday I will have another post ready, hopefully.

Happy Painting!

Sick again, and seasons suck.

So here I sit day one of being sick yet again. So not cool. Also my Seasonal Affective is kicking in pretty seriously. ALSO we had snow this morning. Snow in the first week of November is nearly unheard of here. Even if only a light dusting. So I went out in my sandals and took some pictures of the snow like the crazy person I am even though I was/am sick.

 

It was the really sticky kind of snow, because when I got up it was 33 degrees so things were getting melty.

AS FOR POLISH. I had some mail arrive last week. And thanks to it I was painting like crazy.

These are what I tend to do my "personal reference swatches" on. But since 200 of them arrived (as per my order) I may try using them for a bit of nail art practice.

And today I did some counting and not counting clear top/base/treatment polishes I haaaaaave:

153 bottles of polish! Kinda crazy for me to come to this realization as I have only been buying them since about this time last year. I don't even want to do the math on how much all that cost me.....

Later today I'll be posting actual nail polish photos instead of this post which is more of an "update I still am alive, barely" post. However before I leave and post this I want to throw in the nails I had on Halloween day:

It's "spooky eyes in the shadows" or "Miyazaki Soot Sprites" depending on the interpretation. Cute, simple and fast. Using Revlon Brilliant Strength Beguile as a base and eyes' pupils. Also using SinfulColors Snow Me White for the eyes' whites.

And that's all I have for you right now. I really need to take a nap. Tah-tah and happy painting!

Quick update:

As you may or may not know I am a bit of a video game addict fan. Well on October 1st two games I have been waiting on were released. So for about 10 days I went into a game induced reclusive stage.

Then sometime around the 10th or 11th I got sick. Really, REALLY sick. I still am sick. Last time I did my nails was on the 12th for Pokémon X/Y's release. And here I sit on the 17th, still sick and still with pokeballs on my tips.

Also my nails managed to turn hideously yellow when I did an orange base with crackle as a test before possibly using the same combo on Halloween. Guess which orange I'm not using again until I get a better base coat.... or maybe since my nails already got messed up it doesn't matter much. xD

Along with being sick I have really bad anemia. Like so bad that the Doctor who saw my blood tests was telling me I was borderline needing a blood transfusion. I knew I was low in iron, but not THAT low. SO now I am taking three iron pills a day as well as my other regular meds and I need to get a new primary care provider to manage and follow my progress for this. My previous primary doctor retired... like a year and a half ago.... sooo I'm a bit over due for a regular check up and stuff. (I hate going to the doctor if you didn't notice)

Anyway maybe in a week or so I will be back to painting and posting. Depending on my health, and my energy levels.

See ya later guys.
