Mommy's Mani Monday - Catch up!

I know, I know. I'm a terrible blogger. I leave y'all hanging all the time. I'm sorry, I'll try to do better!

This post will catch me up on all of the Mommy's Mani Monday prompts that I haven't posted yet. :-)

First up, "revisit". With this one, we revisited a theme that we didn't get to do due to not being in the group, or just not being available. I revisited the 'dotticure' theme, and then transformed it into a swap mani (to see later!).

The next prompt was: inspired by your children's Halloween costume. Well...we had an "army guy" (he wore a Special Ops costume), Yoda, and Belle. THAT was not easy to put into one mani! lol! I kind of like how it turned out, though. The green here represents Yoda. My ring finger is supposed to be camo - to represent the "army guy", and the rose on my index finger is for Belle!

Next was "your favorite technique". I LOVE stamping. I used to think it was cheating, honestly! I would think all these nail ladies had these mad freehand skills, only to find out that *gasp* it's a STAMP?! No way! Never! Not me!!! Now, here I am...over 100 stamping plates and 5 stampers...haha *sigh*

When the 'favorite song' prompt came up, I immediately knew what I wanted to do! I have been LOVING Holy Spirit by Francesca Battistelli for quite a while now, so I went with it.

Ok, how many people can say they have ONE favorite book? I know I can't! So, when 'favorite book' popped up as a prompt, I did what any bibliophile would do! I crammed 4 books onto 4 fingers! Ha! Index finger - the Divergent series, middle finger - Harry Potter, Ring finger - The Hunger Games series, pinkie - 50 Shades of Gray (yeah, yeah...)

Having 3 very opinionated little ones makes all of these "your kids' favorite..." prompts pretty difficult. For "your kids' favorite movie", the answers went a little something like this: Oldest daughter - CINDERELLA!!! My son - TRANSFORMERS!!! Youngest daughter - Ummm...NEMO!!! To which I responded...'How about Baymax???' Trio of "noooooooooooooooooo", but they adore Big Hero 6 and they ask to watch it every.single.day. so I went with it!

The next one that came up was a mani that represents your state/country. I had so many ideas for this (Detroit sports, U of M, MSU, robins, lots of things), but I decided to go with my country...the land I love, the good old U.S.A.! This is SUPER simple, but I do like how it came out.

Most recently, we revisited the mani orders prompt. I was instructed to recreate one of my earliest manis (which I LOVE, and I've wanted to recreate it, so this was perfect!). However, since it was a few days before Valentine's day, I recreated it using all things pink and red!

 Here's the original version of this mani, which was done almost 2 years ago!

If you would like additional information on any of these manis, please just leave me a comment below, and I'll do my best to let you know what I used! Some of these are kind of (embarrassingly) old, so please forgive me if I don't remember!

What's your favorite theme to create from? Do you have a favorite painting, song, book, movie, technique? Let me know below! Thanks for stopping by :-)

August Mani Swap

Hello again, lovelies! This month, I was teamed up with the amazing MonkeyTigerDragon for our monthly mani swap! I had a hard time deciding which of her manis to do, but settled on a super fun neon design.

For this mani I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White for the base, China Glaze Point Me To The Party in place of the dots, and L.A. Colors Electra, Aquatic and Mint.

And, for good measure, the collage! I love that she also chose one of my neon manis! She did an awesome job with it. :-) Originals on the left, recreations on the right.

Come back soon, and polish on!

Nails Like Lace - Neon Rainbow Collab

I'm so excited that I got to participate in another Rainbow Collab hosted by Nails Like Lace! The first one was so much fun. This time, though...it was NEON rainbows! Take a look below for my submission, and the full collaboration!

I used Color Club Harp On It for my base color, and many of the China Glaze Electric Nights Polishes. :-)

Full group shot. So fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

#wearyellowforseth

So, there's this little boy named Seth that is battling Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID). He was in need of a second bone marrow transplant, and everyone was challenged to wear yellow to support him yesterday March 27, 2015. To read more about Seth and his journey, visit their Facebook page and their blog!

I wish I would have gotten this posted yesterday!!! Here is my contribution to #wearyellowforseth.

All colors used are by Sinful Colors: Let's Meet (YELLOW!), Go Go Boots (purple), Savage, and Hazard. I really kind of love this mani, so as badly as I'm itching to repaint, I'm leaving it on a little longer to support one super adorable little hero! <3 nbsp="" p="">

Stay strong, little man!!!
