Mani Challenge from Landa

I was tagged by Landa for this challenge, and it was hard because I am so damn uncreative, LOL!!

The rules:

1. go to your lacquer stash2. CLOSE your eyes and pull 3 random items - JUST 3

I ended up with China Glaze Grape Pop, a Sally Hansen Prism in Lavender Gold and Kleancolor Sparkle Emerald (which is a glitter)

Warning, this is UGLY!!

I used Grape Pop as the base, with random Lavender Gold stripes and then slapped the Kleancolor on top.  Yeah, I am sooo original.  

I am going to let you guys tag yourselves for this, but let me know, cause I want to see!!

Until Later,

Amberski

Tag and Circus vomit

I was tagged by Landa for this, and I thought it was kind of neat.  I like seeing other people's handwriting, probably because I hate my own!

1. What is you name? And your blog.
2. Blog url
3. Write: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
4. Favorite quote
5. Favorite song
6. Favorite band/singers
7. Say anything you want
8. Pass it along to a few bloggers




Mr. Ski went to Ulta for me, trying to find some China Glaze Crackles and the ever so elusive Revlon Perplex.  He didn't find either, but he picked up the Ulta dupe for DL Happy Birthday- Pinata-yada-yada.  I tried it over a very sheer pink Sally Hansen whose name escapes me at the moment.  It was very bright, so I decided to put a coat of the pink over the glitter as well.  It still looks like a circus threw up on my nails, LOL!!

It made me want a cupcake...

Until Later,

Tag- Ten things that make me happy

I was tagged by Tierney for this.  These are the rules: List 10 things that make you happy and link back to the person who tagged you and ten others.  Ok, here we go!!

1. My family!  I have 2 great (mostly) kids and a wonderful husband, and I love spending time with them!  I am also fortunate to have my mom and sisters nearby as well as my husband's huge family.

2. Nail Polish!  I have just started to get into this but I enjoy the routine of a mani and I love all the ladies I have met along the way!

3. books- I love to read, I read just about anything!!

4. ABC soap operas- cheesy, I know, but I like being able to escape for a while. (plus some of those men are hotties!!)

5. Coffee- I love sitting down with a cup of coffee, any time of the day....

6. Spring- I hate the cold, so when the weather starts to warm up to about 70 degrees, I am one happy lady.

7. MUA- I have met so many great people there, and when I am cranky, they can always make me laugh.

8. My friends.  You know who you are....  : )

9. Cooking- I am just starting to enjoy this, and I am slowly getting better.

10. the beach- I rarely go, but when I do, I love the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves.
