THE NAIL FILES SHOW & SWATCHES

I'm sure most of you have heard about the TV Guide Networks new show, Nail Files. It follows Katie Cazorla and her unpredictable life as a blonde bombshell business owner of the nail salon The Painted Nail.

When I first heard about this show I was excited, a show about a nail polish salon, I'm IN! Then I realized I didn't have TV Guide Network and was a little bummed. So when the show premiered I asked around on facebook for other nail polish bloggers thoughts. Most really seemed to like it. I did however, catch about a 2 minute clip of the show and I have to say, I was turned off.

Since then I have watched the first full episode and I have to say my opinion changed. The show was actually cute and even funny in some parts. I found myself laughing a couple of times during the episode. Katie is one of those people that seems like she stays in hyper over drive though.

Below I have two nail polishes from The Painted Nail. The polishes are made by Nubar, so you know the quality is good. Since she has several celebs that come to her salon, she will sometimes ask them to name a polish for her, which I think is pretty awesome. On the website, it will usually say if a celeb named a certain polish. The polishes are a bit more expensive than Nubars, at $12.50 each. They can be purchased HERE.


SILVER SCREENED
Named by Hilary and Haylie Duff
This polish is a sheer, light pink sugary color. It looked frosty in the bottle, but didn't come out frosty on the nail. It gave my nails a nice, clean sugar glazed look. This is three coats though, so the color isn't buildable at all.









KATIE SPARKLES
I assume named after Katie Cazorla. I really liked this one, go figure! This is a round silver glitter in a clear base polish. The silver is super sparkly. I am wearing three coats for the swatches. While you can see it doesn't completely cover the nail, it is so sparkly though you can't tell.

A PUPPY, A GANGSTER & A GO CART

That's right, your eyes do not deceive you! That is Boss Dog (aka Trouble) back for a visit to see his momma, daddy and sister. His momma and sister were a little cold to him at first. (See Dinky in the pic above, she wasn't to thrilled with him being that close to her, lol) Banana and him had a great time running around playing with each other though. It was great to get to have him over to play with for a day. When he first walked in, he went straight to Dinky and then tried to nurse on her! Of course, she was having none of that, but it was still sweet that he did that. I caught him in the dog bed with Fat Meats, she was under covers and he was trying to get her and she was having fun with him. It was funny how just alike Boss Dog and Banana are and how alike Dinky and Fat Meats are.



I have been meaning to scan and post this picture for a few weeks now and finally did it - go Brooke!! We did this over spring break. As soon as Tommy saw that big gun, he wanted to do these pictures. They really turned out so cute, I just wanna pinch his fat little cheeks when I look at this picture. When Tommy was just a baby, he had the chubbiest cheeks (see pics below) and this picture just reminds me of that.





One last thing, here are two short videos of Tommy driving a go cart for the first time ever! He had a blast and did a really good job for his first time!







Thanks for looking and I will have some nail polish stuff up in a little bit!

I CANNOT STOP PLAYING THIS SONG! Why isn't Jessie J a huge star right now?? Just once I wish I could sing like this :)

JUST CHECKING IN :)

Hey girls! Wow - it's been crrrrrazy! We had a ton of snow hits us a couple of weeks in a row. I wasn't able to even get out and get to work for several days and then to top it all off I got the flu in the middle of all that! I'm telling you all it was the sickest I have been in a loooong time. I've spent the last week getting caught up at work.

I have a super exciting thing I'm working on for my nail polish room that I can't wait to show you all. Hopefully it will be finished this weekend ( keeping fingers crossed!). I also have a cool contest coming up to name my nail polish room and the prize is nothing short of AMAZING! I will give you a hint - the city that never sleeps . . . . :)

Hope you guys have a great weekend and I should be back to my regular posting this Monday :)



Just for fun, a song that I have been jamming to:

PUPPIES FIRST TIME OUTSIDE

It was semi warm here the other day, so I decided to let the puppies out in the back yard for the first time! They really seemed to like it. You can see Dinky run past with a stick in her mouth, lol.

FAT MEATY AND TROUBLE - A VIDEO

Watch close and you might see Banana sneak in and steal a toy! They are 5 1/2 weeks old.

ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I LOVE THE INTERNET!

If ya didn't know, the song above came from Ru Paul. I have below one of the best scenes from this past season of Ru Paul's Drag Race - GET INTO IT!

OH HOW THIS MADE ME LAUGH!

I love everything about this video!

ALMOST MAKES ME WANNA BUY A MINI VAN!!!

What can I say - - - this NOTD makes me GIDDY!! Not to toot my own horn or anything - but this (to me) is my hands down favorite combo with Hidden Treasure! The base is 3 coats of OPI - Let Them Eat Rice Cake with 2 coats of SH - Hidden Treasure layered on the top. You can see some small bubbles in this if you look close, but that came from my Seche, I'm getting down to the bottom of the bottle.

THIS ROCKS MY WORLD and I don't want to take it off for at least several more hours, lol :)

KELLIEGONZO of the nail blog ALSO KNOWN AS tagged me for this too and I didn't notice!! I'm soooo sorry! I have been playing catch up with everyone's blogs, and I think I miss a post here and there sometimes. So to make it up I am going to post another video today. This isn't a "song" song, but it cracks me up to no end! Nixxy holds a special place in my heart for opening my eyes to the ever wonderful Mr. G!

So enjoy :)
If it tickles, enjoy it!

GLEE - WHY DO I LOVE THEE?

OOOhhh Emmmm Geeee, do I love this show. I can't remember the last time I watched a tv show on a regular basis that wasn't a reality show. I had seen previews of this show and thought it looked good, but didn't really set my watch and check my calender for the debut of it. Well I finally took the time to watch all the episodes online and I realize what I have been missing!


Tell me ladies, who else is a fan of this show? Why do I feel so dumb being 30+ years old and liking this show? I have to say though - the ladies cheer leading coach - she's my fave! She cracks me up so much, lol! Second fave has to be the little gay boy - he is fierce!!

WHAT MAKES ME SMILE!

I have been tagged by two wonderful ladies to do this! Personally I couldn't have been tagged by anyone better girls - you two ladies rock! First Christy of Kronicles of a Konader tagged me then Nixxy of Nixxy's Nails got me! Thanks so much girls!!


The idea behind this is to post a song that makes me smile. The first song that popped into my head is Barbie Girl by Aqua! I mean, what's not to love about this song?? My sister used to play this song for me to turn my frowns upside down! lol -no joke! Unfortunately the real video is prevented from being embedded so I found this just as good sims "video" for the song! Enjoy and good luck getting this song out of your head for the rest of the day!!

COME ON BARBIE, LETS GO PARTY!!!
