Red Team Captain

I am involved with a local group and last night was my first time on stage (with this group). It was nerve-wracking, exciting, sweat-inducing, and loads of fun all at the same time.
I always feel that good nails give a confidence boost, so as I was the captain of our red team fun red nails were in order.

Just please ignore my poor broken little nail. 

Slacking has been my middle name

I have been painting my nails, but have been either too lazy to take a pic, or didn't like it enough to brag about it.
So here is my manicure from a few days ago.

I painted my nails white, and then used a gold sharpie to doodle lace-like designs on the nails. Finish with a top coat, and there ya go! 

Official Halloween nails

Yes, I know it is a weird angle, but was feeling two lazy to take & post two pics, so I took two dozen pics before I was able to get a close-enough-to-good pic :) Yes, I realize the irony of this.
Anyways... I give you... Halloween nails!

Skittles for Nat

My sister's "adopted" 13 yr old daughter informed me last week that I would be painting her nails for her today. And as we typically do for her, the reply was "Okie dokie".
I guess she was in a Skittles mood, because she was hoping I would show up with skittles for her.
I didn't have Skittles, but I said we could do a Skittle manicure. A Skittle manicure is one where the nails all are painted differently.
It took quite a while, but Nat finally picked a cherry based design, and all the colors we'd use.

4th o'July Polka Dots

I know I'm posting just a few days late, but better late than never, right?

For the 4th I just did simple polka dots. Nothing complicated, but fun nonetheless.

Being new to Idaho, I didn't know what to expect of the holiday around here. What I wasn't expecting was the volume and saturation of fireworks displays in each neighborhood. It was a constant cacophony of booms, pops, whistles, hisses, snaps and cracks, that lasted for many hours with no lull in the sound. 

Oddly though, throughout the night I didn't hear any sirens. 

I hope everyone's 4th was safe and a celebration worthy of our independence.
