Hi Guys.

This month I will be sporting a pink AND gold manicure everyday, except the days of my Halloween challenge I am participating in.

Why? To support Breast cancer awareness month and because I forgot last month or rather didn't really know because it isn't as publicized as Breast Cancer is, Pediatric cancer awareness.

I have a friend that has a wonderful little boy, E. He is so strong and so brave! He is fighting the evil dragon, that is what they call it. He has a GREAT supportive family, that has also been very strong and brave. I want to support them as well and what better way to do it then to do fun mani's?? If your the donating type, there are three charities that my Friend recommends:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, St. Baldricks, and Curesearch
I did a reverse leopard print for today...Zoya Raven, a pink striper polish, and a gold from Sinful colors that I forget the name of....its the same one I used a few days ago.....oh yeah, This is It.


Emma said they looked like lips!!


Alfred came over to check them out...

Hey there...

On a recent trip to Walgreen's I saw a full display of Essie Luxe Effects. I was going to get Shine of Times, but put it back, the price of Essie just kills me!

I ended up going back to get it the next day though.

I also Picked up a Christmas-ie green, Sinful Colors San Fransisco, on a fellow PaA's recommendation. Its a really pretty color.




 I snapped those pictures literally right after I capped the polish after the third coat, so my fingers are a little dryish....isn't this a really pretty green?

I was going to do penguins this day, but really didn't want to put the effort into nail art. So I grabbed the Shine of Times (Essie) and put one coat of that on top, then SV on top! And wow! So amazing!







There is about a half an hour left for the franken naming poll! On the left in my side bar....

And don't forget about my Christmas/Holiday Themed mani contest, last day to enter is tomorrow!

Well my Thanksgiving was yummy to say the least,  bit of family drama.....ya ya....

So Wednesday night, I quickly did a turkey mani...not the best but it was cute. It started lifting Thursday afternoon....

I used Revlon Carbonite as my base...and several Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's colors for feathers, and then a gold sparkle from Sinful Colors, and a brown from China Glaze, Unplugged.

I did the feathers with a small dotting tool, dragging from the tip of nail toward the cuticle....
Then the dots for the turkey body....The other fingers have feet prints and feather droppings, lol.

Gobble Gobble.....







And  a Mini Me Mani....




Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving as well, and If your not in the US, I Hope you had a great Thursday!

<3, Carrie

I decided to skip the Part Two Week Nine: Inspired by Feathers, because, well I'm not... :/
But here is one of my favorite pictures of one inspired by feathers:

So onto the next challenge, Gradient. I wasn't successful with this, I should have used a sponge...

I used Zoya Jo as my base. And then NOPI Kendall on the Catwalk, then Sinful Colors Frenzy, and then NOPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie.

Hope your having a great Sunday. My Husband is at America's Got Talent Auditions today! He is singing Lady by Styx. I wish you lots of luck Hunny!
