Texting Thumbs

"Texting thumbs" is when you paint your thumbs something different or add an accent to the thumbs to decorate them differently than the other nails.  I love it, it's too cute!

So here is a quick mani I did  one evening!

China Glaze
"Up All Night"
1 coat ( I told you this was quick) LOL :)

Texting thumbs have an additional coat of P2 "silver blast"

I think this blue may be my favorite blue yet....I know, I know, ,you hear that ALL the time from me..LOL.  Seriously, its a gorgeous dark blue shimmer, that never looks black.  In the bottle it sooooo looks "almost black", but on the nail the blue takes over.

Quick, simple and I love it!  After I did my 1 coat of color , I added the P2 to my thumbs and topped it all with China Glaze "Fast Forward", and that was it! I was out the door 15 minutes after I finished this mani, Perfect!

This is my favorite "Quick Manicure", what's your favorite quickie? LOL :)

Silver Cracked Sorbet

I tried to think of something cute to call this, but it just ain't happening....:) LOL!

I had a pretty crappy weekend, so on to the manicure...haha!

I started off with 3 coats of OPI's "Big Hair...Big Nails", this is the only sorbet color I own from this collection and I swore to myself that this color would be the first, the name is THE BEST!!!!

I topped the 3 coats, with 1 coat OPI Top Coat and then 1 coat of Seche Vite. This is a gorgeous orangey coral, and it is gorgeous!

I love this color, so pretty and coral colored, shiny and juicy..YUM!! I am really loving jelly/sorbet finishes now, they are always so bright and shiny and they scream SPRING!!!!

After 3 fabulous days of this manicure, I topped it with 1 coat of my silver crackling polish from P2, "Silver Blast", and then a thin layer of top coat.

I imagine that the OPI silver crackle color coming out will have more bling, at least from the PR pics it looks like ti will :)...a girl can dream right?..LOL :):)

Swap and my niece's nubbin nails

I did  a swap with Theresia at Amused Polish.  We have two loves in common, blue and purple nail polish!

I love doing swaps with her because I always find a new polish I love when I shop from her list :):)

Here is what she sent me!

IsaDora Graffiti Nail Top "Spraycan", P2 "Silver Blast"...both crackle top coats :)
















Catrice "From Dusk till dawn",  and "Bloody Mary to go" (jelly).

S-he "454", "384".

H&M "Happy Purple", "Happy Grey" and "Check me out".  B.Pretty "silver stars" (holo glitter).

Then while I was logging in my new colors on my spreadsheet, my niece (she's 9) was over my house and as always I use her as my "swatch victim".

I always use her bare naked 10 digits as my canvas to test my new colors.  She immediately took a shine to the "Happy Grey"....such a good eye!

Since she had a father/daughter dance to go to that night, I offered to do her nails...and she quickly added "Can we do a stickey sandwich?"...I was so happy...I taught her well...I shed a tear and said to myself  "A nail addict has been born!" LOL!

"Happy Grey" is a pretty putty colored grey with a slight pearlescent shimmer!

Doesn't she have the cutest little nubbins?? Now I just have to teach her how to ease up on her "death grip" polish hold technique...LOL :)
