Here comes the Holidays

With Halloween fast approaching and the landslide of Holiday's after that, I have been busy at work trying to gear up for the holiday shows.  I have three scheduled in November, so I figured I needed to get some things together!  Not to mention that the Etsy store will be chocked full of great gift giving ideas!
So with a little quiet (almost too quiet) and some time, I got some new great products out!

First off we have the Wonder Serum. The new Wonder Serum is awesome! It has oils that are known to help nourish, replenish and reduce inflammation. If used under your eyes, it will help reduce puffiness and swelling due to over exposure to the elements. It can reduce the presence of scars if used on burns immediately and frequently! (yes I know this for a fact!) It helps replenish and rejuvenate dry skin, and it has been said that it can reduce the sign of wrinkles.*

 Then we have added some roll on perfumes!  We have our same great fragrances but with a few new ones too!

       Next we have the Holiday  Polish collection!  it is perfect to get your holiday groove on!                                            

 We also have a few new colors that are great for the Halloween and Thanksgiving season.

And last but not least we have some new peppermint products

 There is lip balm with a peppermint burst!  There is hand and foot cream with a peppermint twist and finally we have our peppermint bath fizzies that will leave you wanting more!

Ladybug Ladybug Fly away home....

You know, I love ladybugs.  I have ladybug hair pins, I love the colors red and black. My youngest daughter was my moms "Lucky Ladybug".

So in my mind, it stands to reason that I would find something crazy to do with ladybugs!

Searching through the internet on new and exciting ways to paint my nails with the new polish that will be in my Etsy shop soon, I came across this tutorial on how to make ladybug fingernails....  I just had to try it!  And with an idea in my mind and the supplies to create the colors I needed, I was off!  

  

 I first started with two basic colors, a clear top coat and a dot tool.  The colors used are You Betcha Black and Hello Dorothy by Plum Valley Notions (yes... me).  I have an OPI top coat because I love OPI.  And last but not least, I have a dot tool.  Super easy to use and has two sides for small dots and for larger dots.

I made sure my hands were clean and dry then I applied two coats of the Hello Dorothy Nail Polish and allowed it to dry. 

Next, I did this part in two phases.  I went over the top of my nail as if I were giving myself a french manicure in You Betcha Black.  I allowed that to dry.  If you are not as steady to to this freehand you can always use the french manicure guides. 

I then went back over with a fine tip brush and drew a line from the bottom up and curved to the right slightly.  I repeated the step and then curve to the left.  I fill in the small "V" if needed with the You Betcha Black Nail polish.

Then came the fun part!  I added dots with the large end of the dot tool.  I added three dots to each side because my nails are so small!  (don't look at t hose cuticles!  they are in desperate need of love this weekend) I repeat this step by just dabbing the dot tool on the brush then onto the nail.

 Finally I finish with a top coat to seal all my hard work! And now I have 10 little ladybugs to keep me company!  And the best part is I find myself singing the rhyme... "Ladybug, ladybug fly away home"

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!  I am not a professional nail artist but I do want to share what I can do with the new nail polish line that will be coming to my Etsy shop soon!  With bold new colors and great products, you will be able to primp and pamper all in one spot!
