Crazy GAME DAY nails, SEARS and Giveaways!

A little bit of randomness coming your way compliments of a few blogs I frequent, SEARS and WVU BBall....(and a little leftover V-Day and past NsOTD). Ah, where to begin:

1. Yesterday was WVU BBall game against Seton Hall....Here are my Crazy GAME DAY nails!

Maybe not as crazy as some, but I didn't have a lot of time the night before to get them done.

1. DC Super base

2. 2 Coats of Milani Holo 3D (wish there would have been more sun for this photo)

3. Coat of DC Super Dry before art....I wasn't sure if I was going to use Konad.

4. SH Insta-Dri, Blazing Blue for the angled tips and dots - I used a dotting tool.

5. Coat Seche.

Next is a teeny-weeny little rant. Check the pics:

Oh, now what could be wrong with these two pictures of great mail-haul polishes? OK, first of all, I ordered 3 Milanis - the blue never showed up (they sent an email apologizing) and for my trouble, they waived the shipping on this order. (so far, so good, eh?!?)....The issue is that this order came in two separate shipments - in TWO separate size 20 boxes; that's big enough for a bed pillow........AND - the two Milanis were not even wrapped, protected OR boxed. So, when I got them they were rattling around loose in that HUGE box along with the packing slip.......that was a broken bottle waiting to happen. Luckily they were safe, but shame on you, SEARS....what a waste of postage and boxes.

(I also would like to apologize for the dead ladybugs in the background of those photos.....)

Here are a couple of old NOTD to help you relax from the above story! LOL!

What I really wore on Valentines Day. Pink and Vampy....I only bought this polish for the name - The Commish often calls me his "Trophy Wife". I tipped in Art/Deco, and man was it shiny - almost as much as Liquid Leather!

Diamond Cosmetics Midnight Passion and some fauxnad....tipped with Art Club Steele and added little silver dittys, also Art Club. This one lasted all of about 12 hours - I had to get ready for the game.

And for a Giveaway roundup!

1. Lacquerized is having an awesome H&M giveaway celebrating 250 !!!!

2. Nooberellas is having a giveaway for reaching 100!!!

3. Rock 'n' Nails is having the coolest giveaway-swap thing......very cool!

4. Makeup by Celly is also giving away some cool stuff - be creative!

5. Concrete and Nail Polish is giving in honor of their followers!

Be Polished!

Crazy GAME DAY Nails!!!

Here are today's CRAZY GAME DAY NAILS!!!!

~1 coat DC Super Base on all nails.

~1 coat SH Insta-Dry "Blazin Blue" on pointer, middle and pinky, and tips.

~2 coats (dabbed) CG Medallion (OMG is this pretty in person!!! got it on sale at Sally)

~stamped with SH "Blazin Blue" using M18 for the "WVU" on my ring finger and M52 for the BBall on my thumb.

~Seche on all nails.

Now you know I could,'t leave this one as is, right????

I added little teeny tiny BBalls from M52 and used Konad yellow....just a little randomness! Another coat of Seche, and I am finished!!!!!

King Tut never looked this good!

WOW - WOW - WOW! I can't believe this is on my nails, and better yet - *SINGS LOUDLY" I love it! My first bottle of Jessica Polish is King Tut's Gem............whoa, Pharaoh.

I was really just swatching a bunch of polishes this morning (like always) and this one really stood out!

(in sun, er, I mean snow light)

this is with flash and my studio constants lights....not nearly as pretty or true to it's fab color. This blue is a glorious peacock shade, not a tinge of purple or periwinkle....it's definitely worth having this in your "arsenal".

But soon after, I changed colors to get ready for the West Virginia University Basketball game tomorrow.....

It's a coat of Diamond Cosmetics Base (OOOOOH DO I HAVE NEWS!) and two coats of CG Bermuda Breakaway. Then I free-handed a couple of stripes with Art/Deco Gold Glitter and added a little rhinestone to each finger. Two coats of Seche finished it off....

The more I look at this mani, the more I think it would have been better suited for a day on the yacht....a little nautical....but since I spent 30 minutes on it, I guess I'll keep it until after the game. :)

I got a mail haul today from Diamond Cosmetics - gonna swatch them later.

More on the Rod

Just a few of my fave quotes....and a few explanations

"have agreed to pay a $4 million buyout and settle a lawsuit that WVU filed after he broke his contract in December." (signature=contract)

"To help Rich focus on the challenges ahead" (LOTS of U-M losses)

"Rodriguez quit the Mountaineers" (what a coward)

"WVU also recently got an Ohio court to issue a subpoena for testimony and records from Mike Wilcox, Rodriguez's financial adviser." (afraid???????)

"The $4 million liquidated damages clause was suggested by an attorney on the WVU Board of Governors in December 2006, after Rodriguez turned down an offer from Alabama." (but he did visit....already turning his back!)

"He resigned Dec. 16, taking recruits and assistant coaches with him, and leaving the Mountaineers just before the Fiesta Bowl" (yellow)

AND, MY FAVORITE......

" Bill Stewart replaced Rodriguez after a 48-28 victory over the Sooners."



the third one???? We didn't even need you, Rod.


On a lighter note, I have the whole gamut of photo sittings today.

1-year old twins

Engagement photos

Babe Ruth Baseball...... 16 & 17 year-olds

The Roo has also been going to Vacation Bible School this week. This years' theme is "Power Lab" - meaning they are making all kinds of goopy, slimy, well, just plain icky crafts. But, he's a boy and LOVES it!! (I have to admit the music is much better than last year's "Avalanche Ranch". ) They will finish on Friday with a pool party and a program Sunday morning.

Yeaterday we spent an hour putting together a LEGO Spongebob kit. It is called "Rocket Ride", featuring Sandy's spaceship, ATV and elevator "thingy". Needless to say, after about an hour, it was destroyed.....all the parts are spread all over the place, and Roo is putting together all sorts of mis-matched, unrecognizable "things".

It used to look like this:

I also got an email from a friend of mine about "Cocoa Mulch"....I don't know what it's all about, but it's supposed to keep cats from doing their "business" in your flower beds. Instead it's killing dogs. It's been researched here: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp

I don't have a dog anymore, :( but, thought it might be worth mentioning.

$4 MILLION, Baby!!!!

Pay up, Richie Rich!!!!
