August Lady

Aug1

Here we are in August, summer is gearing down and back to school is starting up. My next Lady in my series a birth months is ready. The August Lady is here to welcome the month. She is ready to remind us about the August birthstone and flower. I want to wish all the August Ladies a Happy Birthday and many more to come. The scene was done using Poser7, and the words and corners were added in Paint Shop Pro. You can see all my artwork in my Gallery.

Just Spotted the Lizard

Jul30

Here it is Monday morning and I thought I would post the polish that Ryan picked for me to wear for his birthday. He went through all my polishes and picked Just Spotted the Lizard part of the Spiderman collection by OPI. It was part of my birthday gift from my daughter, Mary. I love the way it changes color when you move your hand. It goes on easy and covers well.

Now for the details, I used Nail Envy Matt by OPI as a base coat, then two coats of Just Spotted the Lizard also by OPI, and finally I used Sally Hansen Double Duty for my top coat. This is such a fun color to wear because of the way it changes. I took several pictures trying to show the different colors. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Have a great week!

Birthday Boy

Jul29

Thursday was my son Ryan’s birthday. He is now 10 years old and has made it to double digits, or a preteen. We celebrated Saturday by inviting his best friend, Gus, to come with him for Pizza and a movie. I had to work until two, so we all met at Pizza Hut and had pizza and birthday cake. He had a Spiderman cake and matching plates, cups, and napkins. Also 3-D glasses that made Spiderman jump off the plates and napkins. Both boys thought that was cool.

After Pizza Hut we drop the left over pizza and cake at the house and headed to Lufkin for a movie. Ryan and Gus were in the back seat playing video games and watching Captain America. Gus hadn’t seen the movie and Ryan wanted him to see it. We had a little time to kill before the movie so we went by Target and visited with Mary at work. Ryan just loves to visit his big sister. Then we went to Game stop so Ryan could use his gift card. After looking at almost every DS game they had he picked Tron.
Then it was off to the movies. We saw Ice Age Continental Drift. We all laughed at the crazy antics of Scrat and the gang. Then no trip to Lufkin seems to be complete without a stop at Ross. Ryan got another car model to put together, Gus got a lap desk, and I found more nail polish.

One last stop before heading home was Jack in the Box to meet Mary and have a bite to eat. Since the polish came in boxed sets, and I had some of the colors already, I gave the doubles to Mary for her collection. Then we headed home as Ryan played his new game and Gus finished watching Captain America.
What a Day!!! Now for pictures. Enjoy!!!

Optical Illusion

Jul23

Since I’m off work today, I had the time today to redo my nails. The old polish was beginning to chip and show some wear and needed to be changed. My son Ryan suggested that I use a blue polish this time. Today I went with Nail Envy Matte by OPI as my base coat. Then two coats of Optical Illusion by China Glaze. One coat gave good coverage but two looks better. I used Sally Hansen’s Double Duty Base and Top Coat to seal and smooth out the glitter. Ryan says that he likes my new nails that they are very pretty. I took some pictures, but it was cloudy and the color isn’t very good. Of you look close at the bottle in the pictures you can see a hint of blue but it shows as silver on the nails in the pictures. Maybe that is part of the optical illusion.
