This Is Us

  I try every year to make snowflakes on my nails. And every year I fail. Haha! For Christmas I got nail paint pens. It worked better, but maybe my nails are just to small! I used a light blue for two of my fingers, a dark blue with a hint of green on two more of my fingers, and then white with rose gold sparkles on my last finger. Then I used “these paint pens” and did a snow flake. 

  These are the second set of nails I did this year for Christmas. Again, just a simple design. I painted all but my ring fingers with black so I could use  these nail powders  to create the metallic look. Then pained my ring finger with white and then yellow/gold sparkles. I painted my right hand opposite of my left hand (red and green).

   I love doing my own nails, but there are a few months that I enjoy more than others and Christmas is one of those. This year I went simple. I painted red, green, and white, used red and green sparkles, and then used  this tool  to paint red hearts and green dots, to look like holly.

  These are some of my favorite nail designs that I have done! I used a cream color from the browns that I got. Then I used  this nail tool  and did the colored dots. I did one color at a time and cured it with the uv light. I used red, orange, dark yellow, green, and brown.

  I didn’t have any brown nail polish, so I got this set that has six different browns.  I wanted to see how they all looked, so I painted all of them on my nails. The lightest color I used to paint the pumpkins on my thumbs. I used  these tools  to paint the pumpkins.

  As I shared in  this post  my sister is getting married. I painted my nails and this post is for my toes. I painted them the same way, all of them black, then put this  purple metallic nail powder  on my big toe. Then I put the regular top coat on and the matte top coat on all the rest of my toes that are black. I really like how they turned out! Now I’m all matching for their wedding!

  My sister Jess is getting married to a wonderful man, Brian. We will be going to Reno, Nevada for their wedding. They decided on elegant Halloween colors. I am one of her bridesmaids and my dress is a dark purple/plum color. So for my nails I painted all of them black and then put this  purple metallic nail powder  on my ring fingers. I then put the regular top coat over the metallic purple and the matte top coat on the rest of my fingers (that I left black). I really like how they turned out, so hopefully they stay good for the wedding! I also painted my toes to match.  Painted Toes

  Even though I am not ready for summer to be over, I painted my nails for fall since it is September. Haha! I used a red, olive green, orange, mustard yellow, and white. I used  These Nail Tools  to do all the designs and then did a matte top coat.

  Doing my own nails is something I really enjoy doing. It also is less expensive and takes way less time.  Sometimes what is in my head comes out exactly the way I wanted and I absolutely love them. Then other times not so much and I really don’t like them, but I leave them because I don’t want to waste the nail polish and the time. This time is one of the times I absolutely love the way they turned out! I used a light blue, pink, yellow, and white. I used  these tools  to make the flowers, and polka dots. Then I used  this stencil kit  to make the lines on my other nails (I used the leaf pattern). I each hand different.

  Since Star Wars Day was on a Sunday this year we invited Nick’s parents over for dinner. We also invited Jeff, Abbie, and their boys. Brichette and Flint came too. It was so fun! We had Star Wars plates, napkins, and tablecloth exactly like the ones we had last year -  2024 Star Wars Day ! For food we had: Bantha Kabobs (Chicken, bacon, and pineapple) Thermal Detonators (meatballs) Stormtrooper Cheese (sting cheese) Sarlacc Cheeseball Star Wars Wheat Thins (no fun shapes) Naboo Fruit Mandalorian Goldfish Crackers Wookie Cookies (no bake cookies) Ewok Brownies For the Sarlacc cheeseball I made a regular cheeseball, but instead of covering it in sliced almonds, I covered it in breadcrumbs to create the sand. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and shaped it into a ball and then pushed a hole in the center. Then I placed it in the fridge for a few hours to harden. I pulled it out and placed two sliced almonds in the hole to create the Sarlacc monster. I used string cheese for the “ten...
