Pink & Black Crackle

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been M.I.A.  My husband had surgery last Tuesday and it just went downhill.  The epidural went into his bloodstream and he was unresponsive.  The 4 hr surgery didn't work so they had to do it again the next day.  And then they decided to put him in a induced coma for 4 days.  I have been a wreck.  Today, they got him off the ventilator and he got to sit in a chair.  He has pneumonia so he's very weak but he's on his way to recovery. I'm so darn exhausted. What an ordeal.

I did a quick mani tonight cause my nails looked horrid.  Just slapped some Zoya Ruby (pink) on it and some CG crackle.  Used a lighter pink art liner polish to outline black.  Didn't have a lot of time to design so just really basic.  Hopefully, after he's recovered a bit I can get back in a grove.  It's going to be another week running from work to the hospital.

Here it is.

Konad Pink Mani

Hello Everyone!  I am back.  What a vacation.  My husband couldn't get home to his business due to a snowstorm, he got very sick, and it was just a weird few weeks. Then, yesterday we had a moderate earthquake to rattle me.  But, I'm glad I'm home and hopefully 2011 will bring many blessings. 

I told you that I cut my nails off due to a few breaks that I just got sick of trying to maintain.  So, here is my first mani with my nubbins.  I think they are starting to grow though. I do miss my nails, I'm not gonna lie.

I started with a coat of Strawberry Fields by China glaze (which is a bit glittery).  Then, I painted half the nail with Go Go Pink (CG).  Then I used plate BM11 (Bundle Monster) and stamped.  Once that was dry, I painted the other side that was Go Go pink with BFF (CG - Holo).  I then finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite.

  
Let me know what you think and if you want tell me what you got for Christmas that you loved.  My husband brought me a Journey diamond necklace which I love.

Konadicure and Essie

First, I tried Claire's Mean Green with the Konad White special polish ( plate M35).  I was really disappointed that it chipped on a few different fingers by the next day. I hadn't had that happen with my China Glaze, OPI, or Essie polishes.  But, here's the finished product.

 

  

It was really cute too bad it didn't last. I also staggered the placement of the konad stamp.

Here is what I have on my nails right now:

I used Essie Shift Power and Gold and Black Nail Art polishes.

 

Here's another pink manicure I did with China Glaze Good witch and Cina accesories:
