April Nail Art Society Kit and Surgery Update...

Good early Tuesday morning darling readers!  Today I have an update for you regarding my surgery.  It is finally scheduled and is just hours away!  I didn't mention it earlier because I was afraid if I did, I'd jinx it.  :)  It is 1:50 am here now and I have to be at the outpatient surgical center at 6:30 am this morning.  Surgery is supposed to start at 7:30 and will take about an hour to a hour and a half.  After about 30 to 45 minutes in recovery, I'll then have a programming session with the representative of the company who makes the spinal cord stimulator to set up enough programs to get me through the next 2 weeks until I meet them in the doctor's office for further programming.  Hopefully I will be home and comfy in my own bed by noon.  :0)

Let's get on to the April Nail Art Society kit shall we?  I just got it today and really liked it!  I did see a sneak peek of May's kit and think I'm going to LOVE that one as well.

The whole kit & ka-boodle.  What is that I spy there in the upper right corner?  Yes, it's a golden ticket!  It states on it, "Greetings to you, The Lucky finder of this golden ticket! From the Nail Art Society! Send us an email to (has a special email address) and claim your prize for a secret surprise!"  I have sent the email but have not received a reply as of yet.  I will let y'all know what the secret surprise is as soon as I find out what it is.  :<)

Kiss brand Nail Artist Paints and Tip Guides, also has some rhinestones included.  Colors are turquoise, pink, and lavender. 
These are called Love Stones.  They're all shaped like bows in different colors.  Very cute.

There was also a bottle of nail glue and a roll of aqua colored striping tape in this month's kit, as well as the decoration idea card titled Bows & Stripes.  On the back of the card it says there were 5 golden tickets sent this month, so I guess I am one very lucky lady to have received a golden  ticket.  For some reason, I feel like Charlie in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".  lol

Do you want to take a guess as to what the secret prize could be?  Let me know in the comments.  :0)

As always, thank you for spending a little time with me today.  I will be gone a few days, recovering from my surgery and I hope, getting some nails done too, and painting some swatch sticks, since it I did receive those and got them all labeled and all I have to do now is put the polish on them.  Please take care y'all and I'll catch up with you in a few days to let you know how things went.  Until then, huggles!

Some small changes and 2 nails wheels

Good early Sunday morning!  Since I missed yesterday, I decided to do 2 nails wheels today.  I have also done a couple of small changes.  I added a link to my Pinterest Wish List on the Wish List page.  This will probably be constantly changing as I add things and once in a great while, take things off, the list, as I change my mind.  I also have a board on Pinterest for polishes I currently own but it is still a work in progress.  If y'all want, I can also add a link to it.  Okay, let's get to today's nail wheels.  :)

The first one will finish up the China Glaze polishes I have.  Of these 16, 4 I have won, 3 I have worn, and the rest I just received within the last few days and haven't had the chance to do more with than just swatch onto the nail wheel yet.  For your viewing enjoyment, here is the China Glaze nail wheel #2:

Starting at the top and going to the right: (2 coats unless noted otherwise)
  1. Splish Splash
  2. Strawberry Fields
  3. Sunday Funday (won in a give-away)
  4. Tart-y For The Party (won in a give-away)
  5. Want My Bawdy (won in a give-away)
  6. Black Diamond
  7. Coconut Kiss
  8. For Audrey
  9. Innocence (3 coats)
  10. Evening Seduction
  11. Limbo Bimbo
  12. Moonlight (3 coats)
  13. Re-fresh Mint (3 coats)
  14. Sex In The City
  15. Sexy Silhoutte
  16. White on White (3 coats)


And here is the 2nd wheel for today.  This wheel is of mixed brands such as Orly, OPI, Zoya, and Savina.


Starting at the top and going to the right: (2 coats unless otherwise noted)
  1. Orly Blue Collar
  2. Orly Fowl Play (3 coats)
  3. Orly Haute Red
  4. Orly Naughty
  5. OPI Have You Seen My Limo
  6. OPI Lincoln Park After Dark
  7. OPI Love Is A Racquet
  8. Nicole By OPI Penny For Your Thoughts (3 coats)
  9. Zoya Blaze
  10. Zoya Jem
  11. Zoya Juno
  12. Zoya Isla
  13. Zoya Tart
  14. Zoya Tori
  15. Fingerpaints Romaniticism Ruby
  16. Savina Hearts
  17. Savina Teal Shimmer

Do you have any of the above colors?  Do you have any of the above on your wish list?  OPI Lincoln Park After Dark was my very first OPI and I've used it sparingly because I've been afraid I wouldn't be able to replace it if I used it all, but it seems to be a popular color and I've since fallen in love with Zoya and several other brands as well so I've let loose of my OPI a little bit since I first bought it oh so many years ago.  Do you have a bottle that holds a special memory for you?

As always, thank you for spending a few moments of your day with me.  Have a wonderful Sunday!  Huggles!
