#TGPNPC ~ Neon

Hello Dahlings!

 

I LOVE NEON!

So da question I had for myself

when planning for today's prompt was...

Do I have ANY untried neons left?

Yep!

 

 This is 2 coats of eye blinding Ruby Kisses Pink Flamingo

(It really is this bright!)

over 1 coat of Orly Pointe Blanche w/o top coat.

I have yet to have any issues with any Ruby Kisses polish! 

This brand is a bit obscure in da US,

but if you check ethnic beauty supply stores

you might get lucky.

Da Orly is a new color recently released & um...

in it's favor, it's nearly a one coater,

but it was also a bit streaky at the same time.

How can a polish be a bit thickish

& a cuticle flooder at da same time?

 

 Da line up ~ Orly Pointe Blanche & Ruby Kisses Pink Flamingo

 

 Me being me I could just leave my mani 'plain.

So I added a coat of I Love Nail Polish My Private Rainbow (L).

It's been worn & thus doesn't count as an untried.

 

 

Next up ~ Polish Whose Name You Can't Pronounce

 

>^. .^<

 

WTF? Dogs? 

  

Every once in a while

I watch my neighbor's special needs daughter after school.

One of the perks is getting to play with their dog Rosie!

She's a Setter/Dalmatian mix

& has been my doggy buddy for years.

 

Awroo? Who's this?

Meet Rueger!

My neighbor's son's fiancée found this lil guy earlier in da week.

I saw a 'before' pick & he was a matted black mop of misery.

So they shaved him, bathed him & discovered he's a mini Rosie.

I do mean mini cuz her shoulder comes to just above my knee (I'm 5' 3")

& he can walk under her belly without ducking much. 

He's a bit shy but once he got used to me he wanted lots of lovies

when he wasn't playing with Rosie.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Now please go get blinded by da neons

da other Pirates have you y'all!

Freakin' Weekly & Simples Nail Art Challenges ~ Blue & ? plus mixed dots

Hello Dahlings!

 

Time for another duo dose of

da Fingers Freaking Weekly Challenge

& da Simples Nail Art Muggles to Mastery Challenge!

 

This week's Freak colors are blue & my choice of color.

This week's Simples nail art is dots in mixed sizes.

 

Let's see what I came up with shall we?

 

 Dot, dot, dot...who's got da dots?

I got da dots!

 

 Da line up ~ I Love Nail Polish Summer Stargazing & MEGA

 

 I did 2 coats of each polish.

MEGA is on my pinky, middle & index fingers.

Summer Stargazing is on my ring & thumb.

MEGA is basically pure Spectraflair with no pigment added

and da bling factor is nigh on BLINDING!

This is not a holo topper!

SS is a milder rainbow, but beautiful all da same.

 

>^. .^<

 

 What'cha doing down there, Meowmy?

 

Touch my paw...I dare you!

(da ledge Ciri is on is actually a good 6' over my head)

 

Thanks for stopping by!

#TGPNPC ~ Dirtiest Named Polish

Hello Dahlings!

 

If you don't like 'bad words' just stop reading right now

& go do something else today.

You're good?

Okey dokey, let's get this fuck fest on da road!

 

I use profanity,

but usually prefer to be more creative with my expletives.

However,

sometimes cuss words do add a certain flair

to one's communication.

Sometimes offensive language is fucking hilarious!

 

Since most polish makers are trying to sell us their products,

they generally try to not offend da majority.

There are however, a few indie brands

that don't give a flying pig fuck if someone gets offended

& name their polish what ever they feel

works for them lil bottled bitches.

 

Hence my mani for today's prompt...

 

 My Dirtiest Named Untrieds are both scatter holos

that almost, but not quite, catch da linear rainbow.

I sponged on some funky French tips

with a back end French tip for accent.

 

 Da line up ~ Pretty Bitch Balls base coat,

Carpe Noctem I'm a Big Fucking Deal!,

Girly Bits D!ck In a Box

& Pretty Bitch Cock top coat.

Both Cock & Balls are previously worn,

but how could I not use them for this mani?

(Alas, Cock is currently not available.)

 

 This is 2 yummy jelly squishy coats of I'm a Big Fucking Deal!

 

 I managed to find a bit of sun, for a few minutes.

 

 

Next up ~ NEON

(Do I have any untried neons left?

I guess we'll just have to wait & see!)

 

>^. .^<

 

On afternoon, a few weeks back,

I heard this thumping noise coming from da landing...

 

Ciri had a REAL mousie!

He was playing some weird version of cat volley ball with it

& was SO pleased with himself.

 

I don't know if he hunted then killed it

or just found it dead & brought it home.

I have a strict rule about not bringing 'presents' into the house.

(I also prefer that they not open my presents for me.)

So I picked it up by da tail & took it outside

while praising Ciri for being such a good kitty.

I know some peeps get all upset

when their cat kills something,

but guess what?

 

CATS ARE CARNIVOROUS HUNTERS!

 

Even if they never get a single hunting lesson

 from their mom as a kitten,

they still have instinct to go by

& most cats will at least try to bring down prey.

If they don't get to go outside,

they'll 'hunt' toys & maybe any bug that gets in.

If they get to go outside,

they will endeavor to bring down

any small critter that they can find.

If they really love you,

they'll bring their kill home & give it to you.

(If I had 2 dead mice, I'd give you one!)

Getting mad at a cat for hunting

is like getting mad at a dog

for barking when a stranger comes to the door.

They can't help it,

it's part of their genetics to do these things.

If you really can't stand the thought of a cat hunting, 

maybe you should consider having a vegetarian pet?

A hamster or fish maybe?

Okey dokey, enuf of my fucking soap box.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Now get off your arse's & go take a gander

at what naughty named polishes

da other Pirates have to show you.

#TGPNPC ~ Gold

Hello Dahlings!

 

There's GOLD on them there nails!

Yep, today da Glittah Pirates

are showing off their untried gold polishes.

Gold is another gold I don't wear very often.

 

 After seeing the drippy nails Marisa Hey, Darling Polish! 

did for her purple mani,

I decided I needed to do some too!

 

 Da line up ~ Jade Mystic Gold

& The Devil Wears Polish Paint It Black

(Paint It Black is still available in da full size bottle!)

I used da largest dotter I have

to create my drippy holo rainbows.

 

 This is 2 coats of Mystic Gold.

You really can't go wrong with a Jade holo.

Yeah, they cost a bit more than most,

but those rainbows are so worth it!

 

 

Next Up ~ Dirtiest Named Polish

(Expect a bit of profanity for this one, Dahlings!)

 

>^. .^<

 

Ciri loves to sprawl in front of da fire place,

even when it isn't turned on.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Now go plunder da polish gold da other Pirates have to share!

#TGPNPC ~ Brown

Hello Dahlings!

 

I guess I'm on a bit of a earth tone binge

with yesterday's Freaks & Simples mani

being done in Brown & Orange

plus da Pirates doing Brown today & Gold on Wednesday.

These are NOT my fav colors!

Most cuz they just don't look good against my corpse skin.

Sometimes ya just gotta take one for da team.

 

 My textured double dotted brown mani.

It sure was sparkly!

 

 Da line up ~ Finger Paints Golden Kisses

& Tribal 10 (from da Born Pretty Store)

Da Finger Paints had a nice texture & bling factor.

Da BPS was pretty enuf but it was more like a glitter bomb

than a true texture polish even tho' that's how BSP bills them.

Oh well, another 2 bottles off of Mt Neverending Pile.

 

 

Next up ~ Gold

 

>^. .^<

 

I decided to share this meme I got from Debbie Crumpet today,

since one of da cats is a brown & black tabby like my Frau Meyer.

I saved it before she died

 though how it could likely be her final fantasy

considering that Ciri just couldn't leave her alone.

 

I know she would have pounded him into submission

if she'd just had the strength & energy to do so. LOL

 

Thanks for stopping by!

I do believe that some of da other Pirates have brown manis to show you!

Freaking Weekly Challenge ~ Brown & Orange plus Simples

Hello Dahlings!

 

So da Fingers Freaking Holo Freaks

are starting our 2 color weekly challenge this Sunday

AND

da Simples ~ Nail Art from Muggle to Mastery

have begun a 4 week tutorial on Dotticures.

What does this mean?

I can combine da 2 challenges!

I have da 1st four Simples manis I did in a file

cuz I couldn't fit them into my self imposed

blogging schedule without doubling up.

This has been bugging me!

I plan on posting them in late July or August

once da Pirates challenge goes on hiatus.

 

In da mean time & in between time

I can use each pair of Freak holos to do each week's Simples mani!

 

This week's colors are Brown & Orange.

This week's design is the basic Dotticure.

(Debbie Crumpet did an awesome video tutorial you can watch HERE)

 

Here is my 2fer mani...

 

 TA DA!

I've done Dotticures before, but not recently.

This is one of the reasons I joined da Simples FB group.

I knew some of da designs would be one's I've done before,

but maybe not recently, others would be one's I've wanted to do

but hadn't gotten to yet & some would be totally new to me.

If you've wanted to learn how to do nail art,

but are afraid to give it a try...

THIS is da group for YOU!

Debbie's been great at picking techniques

that will gradually ease us into more complex designs.

She also does videos to show us how to do them,

so no fear required!

 

 Da line up ~ LynB Designs Am I Ginger?

& The Devil Wears Polish Nice & Toasty

(Tami of TDWP is working on closing down her shop for a hiatus & restructuring

of her business. She's been working so hard on TDWP that she isn't doing much else & this is leading to some health issues. She'll be figuring out ways to work smarter not harder while making her polishes available on LE basis. Being successful is great, but not at the expense of family & health. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with for us!)

 

Lookie at all those rainbows!

 2 coats of Am I Ginger? on index & middle

with an accent of Nice & Toasty on ring.

 

Next Sunday ~ another 2 color holo polish combo & more dotting!

 

If you'd like to join da holo fun, go check out

 Fingers Freakin Holo Freaks

If you'd like to learn how to do nail art on yourself, go check out

 Simples ~ Nail Art from Muggle to Mastery

 

Both groups are lots of fun & NO DRAMA!

Just lots of polish & good friends.

#TGPNPC ~ Green

Hello Dahlings!

 

Today da Glittah Pirates have some green polishes

that for unknown reasons we haven't worn yet.

 

 I went with a bunch of untried

assorted brands of glittery texture polishes.

I got the idea from Manicurator

I did think it was a bit late to be posting

that Sally Hansen collection of Sugar Shimmers

as they were released last summer,

but better late than never!

I used a trimmed to tiny paint brush

& did random swathes of each color.

A few needed a 2nd coat & one color needed a 3rd,

but over all this was a pretty fast design to do.

 

 Da line up ~ Julie G Mistletoe, Milani Sugar Coated,

Rimmel Fizzy Applicious, Sinful Colors Emerald Envy

& Zoya Chita

 

Da Milani was da one pita in da bunch cuz it's in a clear base

& thus needed 2-3 coats for opacity & this turned it into a glitter bomb.

Not a bad thing, but it added to the time I needed to do this mani

& was a pita to remove. Still, it's pretty enuf that I'll let it live.

 

Also, Julie G Mistletoe & Zoya Chita are dups!

On my middle finger is a sort of chunky 'V' shape

made of dark green polish.

I made it using both dark greens

to see how close in color they really are to each other.

Can you tell which is which or where they meet?

 

 

Next up ~ Brown

 

Have you noticed that we have NINE prompts left?

That's like only 3 weeks!

Where has the time gone?

 

>^. .^<

 

Ciri really likes the back yard now that da weeds are gone!

I was trying to get a pic of him sitting on da deck railing,

but he saw me...

 

 Ste-retch!

What'cha doin'?

 

 Can I help?

 

Shall I pose my magnificent tininess to your advantage?

BUG!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Now please go fill your peepers

with da glorious greens of da other Pirates!

#TGPNPC ~ Blue

Hello Dahlings!

 

I've been wearing a dif design & color on each hand

more often than not this year.

This is really weird for me

cuz I was downright anal

about having my hands match

before I started blogging.

When I started doing challenges.

I realized that doing da same design

on both hands wouldn't be efficient 

& I'd have to paint my nails every night to keep up.

 

So now I'm used to having dif colors &/or designs on my hands

unless I'll be going somewhere special.

I'll paint my nails da same for a special occasion.

 

Now just because my hands rarely match anymore

doesn't mean I don't care if they coordinate

cuz my OCD does still care!

So today's Blue mani is similar

but different from Monday's purple mani.

 

 This one worked better than da purple mani

in that I could actually see the cracks.

I used da same crappy CG white tho

cuz I did both these manis at da same time.

So 2 coats of crappy white,

2 coats of Different Dimension Light It Up Blue,

& 1 coat of sparkly blue crack with a chaser of Seche Vite.

 

 Da line up ~ CG Snow, Different Dimension Light It Up Blue

& Sally Hansen Wave Break.

Alas, Light It Up Blues is retired...

 

 ...but it sure glows well!

I've been scaring Mr Inky every night

with my blue glowing teeth monster.

 

 

Next up ~ Green

 

>^. .^<

 

 Steee-reee-tch...

Me likey da back yard!

 

 Tanks for getting rid of da yucky weeds so I'se can play out here!

 

Should I swat dat bug or just sit here looking fabulous?

Tuff choice!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Got da blues?

Well da other Pirates can fix that!
