April Showers Challenge: A rainbow after the rain

Hey y'all! I know I haven't been posting much lately. My cuticle are having a fit now that flag football has started during my PE class and it's super cold outside! I love football (if you can't tell) but my hands aren't having it. :(

Here's my rainbow after the rain!

I used WnW Teal of Fortune on all of my fingers. Then I  used 3 types of flakies for the ring finger, Inglot 203 and 204 and Essie Shine of the Times to get my perfect rainbow effect!

I hope you guys have a great weekend!

My grumpy old puppy, Otis

Bonnie Blue

The weather in the Chi has been amazing lately! I spent a good part of the morning "tanning" with my cat Bonnie Blue and my doggies, and by tanning I mean me in a bikini slathered in sun screen because my irish skin only burns!
Bonnie Blue is my cat with special needs, she has cerebellar hypoplasia, and is the sweetest, cutest thing cat I've ever had. I adopted her from an animal shelter  8 years ago when she was a kitten, and it's sure been an adventure. The shelter staff didn't think she'd ever be able to use the stairs properly, since she has issues with her back legs. While she was still a baby, I managed to teach  her how to go down the stairs and up the stairs, and she has no issues with getting around the house like they thought! She's been a complete blessing to me, and most people don't understand her condition and kittens born with this are usually put to sleep because they think they're in pain.  Here's a video that explains everything perfectly!

Here's today manicure, WnW Buffy the Violet Slayer, and Essie Shine of  the Times.  BTVS is one of my favorite purples and I always forget about wearing it. SOTT is so pretty on top of this! My only complaint is that I don't see the green flashes as much over this.

Essie Shine of the Times

My first flakie ever! Unless you count the one I bought from Meyer's for 2 bucks, but I've never actually worn...I should get on that shouldn't I? I FINALLY found Essie's Shine of the Times along with finally getting my hands on some OPI Nail Envy at my local target.  It's either the nail fairies are good to me and they have everything they need, or they don't. Slightly frustrating, but as long as I eventually get what I want I'm good.   I used Nail Envy as my base,William Tell Me About OPI and Shine of the Time over all of that.  Its. So. Gorgeous.  I never thought I'd love flakies as much as I love this.  My lovely friend Marissa, who sits at my table in my Parenting Class spent a good amount of class time moving my fingers back and forth so she could see the flakies change colors lol! She's such a cutie, always looking at what I've done to my nails.

Tip wear... I know... 

That's why I used a funky french to cover it up so I could have these gorgeous nails for one more day!
