Face It - Nail Art is In!

Sister Luna sent me some ideas for nail ideas below.  Perhaps a bit too outlandish and time consuming for my taste. 

At first I thought she was sending me Obama nails; after mentioning this to her, she promptly sent me the following:

 

The faces looked so easy, I figured I'd try it.  What do you think? 

 

 

Real Housewives vs. Football

Although he protests, Michael is becoming a fan of the Real Housewives episodes I enjoy so much - Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, New York, etc.  He'll complain every time I turn it to Bravo; however, he's the first one to shush me when the show returns after the commercials so he is able to hear.  He has also picked up on all the characters with his comments "Oh, Theresa says Melissa was a stripper", or "Oh yeah, there's Aviva with her fake leg!"

However, there is a trade off.  I'm able to enjoy my Housewives but then Michael is able to enjoy his football as well as instruct me on the finery's of the game.  How many downs, how many yards, penalties, fumbles, etc.  So many details to remember!  Perhaps thinking of my Housewives will make the task easier:

*New Orleans winless record = Theresa being shut out by the rest of the New Jersey wives;
*Kicker misses field goal  = Aviva calling Sonja and Ramona "white trash";
*Wife leaves Chad Johnson/Ochocinco for cheating = Louann cheats on Jacques with Johnny Depp look-alike in St. Barts;
*The Lambeau Leap = Sonja sauced jumping naked into the pool;
*Troy Palamalo's million dollar hair insurance policy = the vast number of hair extensions on both Housewives OC as well as Atlanta.

TGIF!!!

Hello Kitty!!

Diva Adriana has become a real expert in painting nail fashion.  One of her latest creations is a Hello Kitty nail.  Isn't it cute?  Can't wait until my nails grow stronger and longer; right now I think I'd fit part of a Hello Kitty eye on my nail and that would be it!

 

I Did a Bad, Bad Thing

I did a bad thing at the doctor's office the other day but I just couldn't help myself!

After getting my flu shot, the nurse opened a drawer and pulled out a GLITTER band aid for my arm.  They were to die for!!!  So, sneaky devil that I am, once she left the room I snuck back into the drawer and grabbed a few for the road.  Yes it was wrong but oh so worth it!!

Yesterday vs. Today

During lunch today, my boss mentioned that his 8-year old daughter was newly into "Monster High" dolls.  Hmmm....I had never heard of them.  I remember the type of dolls I played with when I was in grade school:

Well, look at the dolls the grade school girls are playing with today:

These are the Monster High dolls!  Whoa!!  Times sure have changed!

Diva Day at the Mall

The way they look is fab but knocking a couple off is not fun.  I'm talking about my acrylic nails.  One became cracked so I removed it via 100% accetone and my nail clippers; another one painfully was ripped off my finger when I caught it in a latch.  Big ouch.   And blood.  This led to my decision to have them removed, which occurred Saturday.

Michael and I made our way to the local mall for the nail extrapolation procedure.  However, our first stop was at the hair salon.  My hair needed a serious trim; as is my life, I'm once again trying to grow my locks out.  But it needed some serious shaping and thinning.  Thick hair is a blessing and a curse; it grows but can easily expand into fro-territory.

New color - not cut - like this

After explaining my hair needs, Audry trimmed my hair.  During the cut, there was a hair color picture that drew my attention. It called me.  It sang to me.  Must get hair colored, it spoke.  And I listened.  When Audrey was done snipping, and after consulting with Michael, the hair dye decision was done!  She said it would only take 1.50 hours but the blond and brown color application became more like two hours.  It then became apparent that my Michael has the patience of Job!  He sat.  He waited.  He rolled his eyes a time or two, especially at the behavior of Audrey's co-workers.  It was worth the wait as my hair turned out beyond fab!  Great color, super cut and Michael survived.

We then made our way to the opposite end of the mall in order to have my nails removed.  A little bit of soaking, a tad of filing, and the job was done.  Gone were the beautiful long talons, replaced with chubby stubbies! 

After a late lunch at Izzy's, we made our way home where we promptly took a nap!  Perhaps it was the mall trip, or maybe the night before when we watched The Entity (freaky movie with Barbara Hershey before lip implants), but we were tired! Unfortunately, Michael began to feel sick (we believe it may have been the "Izzy flu", a common occurrence when one partakes in the indulgence of buffet food) so we kicked back the rest of the night. 

Today, after sleeping in, we did a few errands then spent the rest of the day chillaxin at my crib (okay, okay, just couldn't resist typing that phrase.)   I was able to catch up on all my overlooked magazines, took a nap, ignored the football Michael was watching, and generally caught up on some much needed R&R.  It was heaven!!
