"Watch this space"

Watch this space. Watch THIS space. What this SPACE. 

Nailene tweets:

"Want the latest in artificial nail adhesives? Our new Nailene Ultra Tabs, only in the UK, will soon be Stateside! Watch this space for info!"

Ok. Or just, yanno, go to CVS in Costa Mesa CA. Because that's where I found them in August.

*click here for Nailene Ultra Tabs review*

Why do they say ONLY in the UK?  I just don't get that. I mean, maybe they are in limited release in the US, but they are not ONLY in the UK any longer. Infact, they are manufactured in Lake Forest, CA. That's on the backside of the Nailene Ultra Tabs packages that I have.

So whaddua I do?

Do I tweet: Um, ok, then why do I have them in my possession here in the USA?

Do I just let it go?

My head is going to EXPLODE!

And while I'm on a rant...

There's a certain fake nail company, which I will not name right now, who allows people to post pics on their FB page, LIE that the pics are theirs, and the pics do NOT belong to them.  Yeah, they are stolen pics. Very easily researched online.  And I wrote to the nail company, told them what's going on, where to find the stolen and obviously professionally shot photo, and yet they do nothing. And FB does nothing.

I've had at least one of my own pics stolen from a FB posting and I guess that's just fine and dandy. After that happened, I started to put my logo into just about EVERY photo I posted on here, to the point of being obnoxious. 

I HATE thieves and despise lying!

What you think about stolen photos? Have you ever had a photo stolen? What did you do? Have you ever found someone else's photo that you knew was obviously stolen? What did you do about that?

Am I making too big of a deal about this?  Tell me what you think in the comments below...

Fake Nails Collection Consolidated

As you may know, we are packing to move. I have been coming up with ways to move my fake nails, and polish in the car. Everything has to be reduced in size as much as possible.

These are the piles of packaging that are going to the recycle bin.

Oodles of Noodles...er...plastic

So my collection went from that to this...

Everything now fits into a shoe box!

I took all the nails (well 98% of them) out of their packages and put them into snack bag zipper bags. I cut the front of the box and put that in with the nails so I know what is what.

Nail Glue pens from packages

Nail files from packages fit into a rigid box that some nails came in.

Cuticle Sticks from packages now recycled into a rigid plastic nail box.

Now I can take my nails in the car when we move, and it won't take up much space. Another thing this project did for me was take the "mystic" out of my collection. I struggle to "destroy" anything that is visually pleasing. That made me hesitant to open the pretty nail packaging and use the nails.  Now that I've cut open every box and removed the nails, I'm freed of that emotional hesitation.

I had made a video of all of this, but it was putting even me to sleep. 

So I used Magisto on youtube and remixed it into this silly video montage.

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?
