Crying Over You

By Platinum Blonde.. Ahh.. Good ol 80s tunes!!

Sorry x 85 that I have disappeared again!! Things got pretty crazy around Thanksgiving.. My favourite uncle was here.. I had to work a bunch.. Spend time with him and family.. THEN! I was scheduled to go to some appointments in another city that is about 2 and a half hours from here (it is called Regina).. My mother was supposed to come with me.. But was called in for her knee surgery on a cancellation.. Which was great, she needs this surgery, but it threw me into some crazy zombie mood.. Luckily the uncle was still here so he was able to take me to Regina because he was going that way anyways.. Phew!

I got home on Friday, which means I should have posted up a look or two.. BUT.. I spent Friday in the mediclinic with my brother.. Thursday night he took a puck to the foot while playing.. Once they were on their break between periods, he took off his skate to check out the damage and there was no way that skate was going back on. His foot was about 6x its normal size.. They took xrays and such.. Thinks there is a crack in the bone.. He is on crutches. So I have 'limpy' and 'crutch' to take care of.. So to make sure they aren't always limping or crutching around, I make them watch movies with me. Heh.

On top of taking care of them, I have also been working since I got home.. So work, watch movies, do laundry, tidy up, etc etc.. My days have been long, but I am happy to help. PHEW! Ok.. photos..

I thought I had a photo of the look before this first one, but I guess I didn't.. Not really missing out on much, but here goes..

The first one I saw on youtube and went with it.. The second one I have seen an image of. Sorry for the scary dried out hands.. Even my special steroid cream couldn't repair all the damage from washing machine chemicals (the machine is broken at work.. the hose is in a pail.. That was tipping.. Reached in.. OUCH!.. plus it doesn't help that my hand skin is already vulnerable because of exzema.. urgh).. Plus I wrecked my nails a lot at work last night.. Oh well, I will put something new on in the next day of three..

I want to do Halloween nails.. but I still think it is a smidge too early! Soon though!! Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday!!

How's your Mom doing after her knee surgery? Hope she does well. Your poor brother! Hope he recovers fast and is okay! Take care of yourself and don't wear yourself out. Ask for help if you need it. Glad your Uncle was there to go with you. Take care of your hands. I had eczema a long time ago. I was washing hair alot in beauty school. I broke out bad and got an infection. I had to wear cotton gloves with rubber gloves on top to wash hair. Didn't work out well. Maybe me itch like crazy.

Canada Day - Saran Wrap Style

I had said the other day that I would be using the Saran Wrap method again soon.. And I really did mean soon. I figure it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day (nail-wise) without over-doing it.. I mean, I'm fairly patriotic as a rule, but sometimes sporting a Maple Leaf on my fingers isn't exactly my style.. ANYways.. See? The love is there with the red and white.. I know I said the next time I did the saran wrap method, I was going to try with three colours.. But, I think I will maybe leave that experiment for tomorrow - today is only about these two colours! So.. How I get to this? Well, allow me to show you. Start off with the colours of your choice - one as the base, and one as your.. distress-er? And some saran/cling wrap. I take two pieces and ball them up.. You could use more or less.. But I figure two hands, two, er, balls. Yikes. After your base has COMPLETELY DRIED (you can do these a couple of hours in advance, the night before, or even use some

Splatter Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Last night, after I did these nails and when I went to bed - I was quite pleased with my nails. When I woke up this morning, though, I wasn't overly crazy about them. I thought of a few things I could change so that I would really like them.. I am very tempted to take how I want them to look and recreate them before work.. I might just have to do it. Anyways! Really, there is nothing wrong with them.. I just sort of find them.. boring? Ah well! I used: Lime Crime Milky Ways China Glaze White On White OPI My Favourite Ornament China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer China Glaze Sweet Hook OPI Mod About You Formula X For Sephora Infatuated Orly Liquid Vinyl China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I made the roses with a "main" colour and white, then I did the details with the "main" colour and black mixed together. Again, I don't dislike these bad boys.. I am just not amazed by them! Also.. did you
