I like these stripes

Sep23 by Cheryl Cheryl

I was perusing some YouTube videos…. with no expectation. Saw this video for a striped gradient by xoJahtna. I got inspired.

I’m pleased.

This just matches a night out on the town. Slightly edgy and flashy, and FUN!

Life” (Nicki Minaj Collection)

My hand felt like a model on location, in the city. lol. My nails fit right in with all the lights and traffic. All I needed was to really go out.

And Just Like that . . .

…it was Autumn.

The temperature just bounced from a beautiful, breezy 78 degrees…..

…..to a dry (low humidity), WINDY 55 degrees.

I need a coat, a scarf and gloves. Right Now!

So, I went with antique Autumn.

Fall

Time for some season changing colors……

I am loving these sponging gradients. I did the typical horizontal one….. just looked “stripe-y” to me…. so I applied it diagonally. And I love that look so much more. Smile

Inspired by my new twitter friend @LacqueredAffair . . . who has a most wonderful manicure avi….

Though I don’t really do gems on my nails because of my (self-diagnosed) tactile OCD, I loved the design. So, I had to do my own take on the manicure that involved nothing I could easily yank off my nail. LOL.

Happy Birthday!!!

It’s my birthday!!! Smile Yayyyyy!!!

So I did my celebratory nails… complete with confetti and a few tiny streamers on accent nails.

I used a no-chip gel polish this time! La Palm Gel II’s – “Out of My Way” as the base color…

…and my wonderfully beloved polka dots in acrylic paint. ( I heart dots!! forever).

I have planned a “do NOTHING” day. Two hour massage from my favorite massage therapist, a triple venti soy caramel macchiato from Starbucks, a cupcake from Sprinkles…. and then kicking up my feet for a pedicure…. then seriously kicking up my feet to just chill.

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me!!!
