Yep, dots. All day! I love them, love them, love them.

I can’t believe I haven’t done this design sooner.

Sinful Colors – “Black on Black”
acrylic paint dots

Florals

I had to upgrade my iPhone.

Concomitantly, I had to search for a new phone case. The cases in the store are ALWAYS UGLY! Wait, hideous might be more accurate. And EXPENSIVE! as if the phone didn’t cost enough! I’ve resorted to the deeply discounted and diverse case designs from Amazon.com. And for the price of ONE in the store, I ordered like 7 assorted designs online. (But why do I need 7 of them??! Smile )

I saw this one…. and instead of purchasing it, I thought I’d try the design on my nails. LOL.

And once again, I didn’t look at the picture before I started painting my nails. HAHAHA. I don’t know why I do that. I literally just forget about the picture even though in my mind’s eye, I feel like I see the picture clearly. I am going to start printing pics out and create a stack of potential manicure designs that will be right next to me at my manicure “station”.

All that to say, my nails didn’t quite turn out like the phone case…

Sinful Colors – “Black on Black”

… but I like them anyway.

I used a medium sized dotting tool and dipped it in both the white and dark pink acrylic paint at the same time to create my flower petals. Then I used yellow acrylic paint for my flower center, and a fine liner monogram art brush with green acrylic paint for my little leaves.

Good Night, Sleep Tight

Jan27 by Cheryl Cheryl

What I want more than anything right now is just a REALLY good restful night of sleep. The resting part of the evening has been evasive this week. Sad smile

I’m tired. Not all that sleepy, but my body (and mind) want rest!

Sinful Colors:

“Black on Black”,“Midnight Blue”, “Out of This World”, “Pull Over”

The base color is black, then I sponged on the midnight blue from the middle to the tip of the nail, and then sponged the silver on the tips…. After that, I added the crescent moons, stars and a couple of “zzz’s”…

that one star looks like a snowflake… and well, it IS snowing outside again, lol. So, it’s alllll good. Smile

Now it’s time for me to go to bed!

Night Night.

had to get rid of the snowflake:

Red Light, Green Light

Jan16 by Cheryl Cheryl

I hate driving. But I think I hate public transportation in Chicago more.

Last week I was greeted by mail with a Red Light Enforcement Camera Ticket.

FOR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!?!?!? O_O

Now, TECHNICALLY, I didn’t run a red light. I made a right turn. On red. At a permitted right turn on red light.

So, you KNOW I was ready to contest this ticket….. until I watched the video. Then realized that I never really came to a complete stop before the light turned red before I turned. BUT IT WAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS YELLOW WHEN I REALLY STARTED MY TURN!!!!!

I don’t feel like fighting the ticket though. And since I still hate public transportation more than driving right now…. I’m never driving that route to work anymore ever again. Never.
I’m still mad about this stupid ticket!

base – OPI “ Suzi Takes the Wheel” & Sinful Colors “Black on Black”

I used Orly Matte Top Coat on the gray based nails to allow the “lights” to stand out, and topped just the acrylic paint dots with a dot of Seche Vite for shine. Did it work?
