Welcome!

Welcome! So glad you stopped by my little bit of blogdom. Here I share my hobbies of nail polish, nail art and glue-on nails.

Wicked Nails

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Our plans got rained out 2x. But yesterday, my daughter made chicken noodle soup and I made french bread, so all was fine after that.

Last night, I decided to put on some of the Kiss Halloween Nails I picked up earlier this month.

The nails' name is "Wicked"
The nails come with press on tabs. They can also be glued but the glue is not included.



Here's a short video I made:

Fall Floral Mani

Fall is here!

Kiss Floral stickers and Kiss Halloween stickers.

I wanted to do a mani to reflect the autumnal season on my nails.

I started with Kiss Everlasting French Tip Medium Length Nails 
with Burgundy Tips:

Then I added Kiss Floral and Halloween stickers.

Here's my little pumpkin on my right thumb!


On my right hand, I added the word sticker "Pumpkin".

On my left hand is a gold skull and the "skull" word sticker.

On each finger I've added little rhinestones to enhance this look.

I've used 2 or 3 coats of clear polish over each nail so the stickers stay put.





I hope you like my fall floral design!

Thanks for stopping by!

Real Short Nails Storage

I've been working on packing to move. One day, I put all the boxes of my Kiss Everlasting French Real Short Length Nails together, and found I had this many:
Some are not completely filled but still, that's a lot of nails. I've been buying these for months, mostly every time there is a sale or I have a coupon.

A little bit about our move...
We're planning on fitting everything we are moving into one of these cubes. They aren't very big. We're selling most of our furnishings, and putting everything else into boxes and into this cube.

Well, we don't know when we'll see this cube again. It might go into storage for a couple of months. Or we might have it delivered shortly after we move. We just don't know yet.

I'm not packing my glue on nails or polishes. Those are coming with me in the car. It's a small car, and we laugh about how much stuff we want to take in the car. How it's going to be piled on top of our laps as we ride across the California desert.

With that in mind, I'm doing my best to consolidate what I have into something more manageable than what I have now.

After using up most of the nails in this Kiss 100 nail blanks package, I consolidated what remained into a new container, and kept this because I knew it would be used for something. Fimo, rhinestones, or other nails. I just didn't know.

Until now...
I sorted all the nails in all the French Tip Everlasting boxes into the empty container.

On the top row are 12's that fit on my left pinky (there were too many to fit in the end section) Left hand: thumbs, index, middle, ring, pinky nails.

Bottom row: Size 0's that can be cut down to fit either thumb nails. Right hand: Thumbs, index, middle, ring, and pinky.

I cut the top off one of the boxes to divide the pinkies from the thumb nails. And so I'd have the package number and nail length for reference.

So now, instead of having 8 boxes to carry with me, I have one, saving space and room in my little car.

This is what I ended up with, from the boxes:
I had used some of the nail files, cuticle sticks and glue from the packages already.

What do you think?
How would you move your polish collection if you had to?
What kind of container would you use?
Any tips?

Spider Nails Spider Nails Friendly Neighborhood Press On Nails

Kiss has one other Halloween Limited Edition Nails I didn't show you previously.

I bought and wore these last year. I was thrilled to see they were offering them again at Walgreens this year. They come with press on tabs for one day's wear.

Last year, however, I glued them on.
I cut them down at the cuticle's edge and sniped the tips so they weren't as long.
We went to the pumpkin patch and corn maze.

Normally, these nails are long and curved. Some have a silver spider in the web.

Here's my Vampire Mickey, admiring my nails. ;p


These nails retail at $3.99 at Walgreens. There's a $1 off Kiss coupon in Walgreens October coupon booklet. 
Also, if you *like* Kiss and Broadway Nails on Facebook, you can print out 2 coupons.

So what do you think? Would you wear these at long length? Cut down? Not at all?

Halloween-ish Haul and Vlog

Here's a pic of all the things I picked up in the last 2 weeks or so.

Sorry I've been away all week without a new post. The reason is I really loved wearing *these nails* and didn't feel compelled to change them. 98% of the stickers held on for the week. I just had to replace a patch on my right ring finger.






I made a video describing everything. This month, I'll be wearing the nails and posting about them with pictures. October's going to FUN!



Are you going to pick up any of the Limited Edition Kiss Halloween Nails?
