Where the Sidewalk Ends...

Shel Silverstein was the master of awesome. I've LOVED his books ever since I was a kid, both the drawings AND the poems. They're silly and funny, and absolutely wonderful, and I knew I had to incorporate the art into my 365 day project! My favorite Shel Silverstein poem of ALL TIME is 'Sick'. on page 58 and 59 of 'Where the Sidewalk Ends'. I seriously knew it word for word until I was about 20, and I still can recite bits and pieces! I cannot go to school today, said little Peggy Ann McKay, I have the measles and the mumps, a gash, a rash, and purple bumps! Ok, enough of that, on to the nails... I did 'Sick' on the thumb, 'Warning' on the index finger, 'Hug o' War' on the middle finger, 'Hat' on my ring finger, and 'My Beard' on my pinky. :)

I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the drawings. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

What's that? What's that you say? You say to day is Saturday? G'Bye, I'm going out to play!

Color Club Snowflakes...

So I know I posted about this before, when I got it in the Holiday mini set, but I just had to bring it out and use it again. I'm in love with this little thing. Color Club NEEDS o get this in full size! It just is so delicate looking, and looks like it's teeny tiny flakies, with such great sparkle!

I just had to try it over black, and once again, she amazes me!!

I have a soft spot for anything with tiny floral prints. So here you go, simple french with painted roses.

HELP!

UPDATED TO ADD:

I'm more curious about the ones not as easily replicated. (i.e. sponged gradients, marbles, etc). Thanks again! :-) Don't forget all the earlier ones, too!

So I put this call out to you, my amazing readers…I'm curious, if you could have your nails like ANY of my nail designs so far, which would you choose? Tell me in the comment the ones that you NEED to have, perhaps just WANT, or are completely in LOVE with!

No, this isn't to boost my ego, I'm working on a project, and I'm too close to the blog, so I need outside eyes!!

XOXO

Jesse's Girl Confetti....

This is a Jesse's Girl polish, that I picked up a while ago at my local Rite-Aid. It's called Confetti. They had a few colors, non of which stood out to me. Now, I don't usually like this bar/string glitter, but the colors is what I was sold on. I finally pulled it out and decided to try it layered over a few colors.

First I layered it over a black

This is the Confetti over Sally Hansens DVD. I really liked how it blended so well with the SH.

Can't find Lush Lemony Flutter?

The mystery of the missing cuticle cream

It's sold out everywhere. Out of stock. Gone. Well at least in The Netherlands. I nearly cried! I am of those persons that actually finishes an entire tub. Or three. But what's the deal? When will it be back? Well, it's not just 'sold out'. People have been informed by the Lush staff, that it might be unavailable for a while because the supplier of one of the ingredients has started to test on animals. Lush, a company that feels very strongly about being cruelty free, is now looking for a new supplier.
The ingredient we're talking about supposedly is Sodium Borat. Ultrabalm, their lipbalms and solid perfumes might be affected too.

I'm extremely pleased Lush takes this issue seriously and stopped selling one of their bestsellers - for the moment. I have to admit though: I am annoyed, an official statement would've been nice. At this point I don't even know if the Lemony Flutter I have been using all this time was cruelty free to begin with, because they pulled several batches from the stores. If more information pops up, I'll gladly let you know.
