Through the Grapevine

Winter Storm Nemo just swept through New England! The snow started falling here in NY on Friday afternoon… and by Saturday morning we accumulated at least 12 inches of the white stuff! Other states like Connecticut and Massachusetts got hit even worse. The news reported that some people were even stuck in their vehicles on highways overnight until the roads became passable! Luckily, we’re just fine here in the Hudson Valley. It’s like a beautiful snowscape outside ….. and I kinda love it!

My kitty cat Fergie got curious about the snow too. She ventured out onto the front porch and left behind the cutest little paw prints ever! When I saw those little tootsie marks I realized that I’ve never tried paw print nail art before! So I decided to test out some techniques today and I wound up with two different designs….

♥Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Platinum as a base color ↑

♥Wet n wild Fast Dry in Ebony Hates Chris for the paws

♥Sally Hansen French Manicure Pen in Pure White Tip ↑

♥Wet n wild Wild Shine sparkle topcoat in Kaleidoscope

♥Wet n wild Megalast Through The Grapevine for the paws

I’m entering a polish giveaway that Luchessa is offering! Her blog post entitled New Purple Dream Giveaway explains it all. Basically to enter the contest I must post a purple nail design … and on Jan 21st the random winner will be announced. Thank you to Luchessa for the chance to win! Here’s the purple design I came up with….

I enjoyed using all purple polishes! Who doesn’t love purple? In real life this mani sorta has a 70’s free-love hippie feel. Here’s the colors I used along with a makeup sponge and a dotting tool:

♥ OPI- Dutch ‘Ya Just Love OPI? as the base

♥ Sephora by OPI- It’s Hippo To Be Square for the sponged area

♥ Wet n Wild Megalast- Through the Grapevine as the flower petals

♥ Sephora by OPI- I Don’t Bite as the center of the flower

Good luck to all the other entrants!
