Brrrrr it’s cold today! We don’t get to say that very often in SoCal so I’m really enjoying the cooler temps and having to bundle up like a tamal. Things have been a little disjointed chez moi, so I that has put me off my usual swatching and posting schedule. Work has been a little off as well, but in a good way, and there have been some major improvements in my work situation so that has put me in a better frame of mind. I haven’t felt much like posting and blogging lately so last night I decided to pull out my stamping plates to see if I got excited by revisiting my first nail art love. Once I picked out an image that I wanted to use, I then had to pick out a polish so I went with China Glaze I’m Not Lion.
One of the beauties from last year’s Fall Collection, On Safari, China Glaze I’m Not Lion is a gorgeous gold holographic fine glitter that offers full coverage with two coats. My lighting doesn’t show the holo beauty of this polish, but believe me: it’s there.
I then stamped the honeycomb image from Winstonia plate W113 with Konad’s special black polish. I just love the contrast here!
What do you think of this mani? I hope you like at as much as I do. So what have you been up to lately? I feel like I haven’t been doing much online lately so I’m woefully behind on reading blogs and commenting. Ultimately, I think I really need this break from blogging EVERY DAY because I’m enjoying just doing my nails when I feel like it without worrying about pictures and all that other stuff. People at work already know me as the crazy nail lady, but most of them seem curious about my hobby so it’s always nice to talk nails…even with the guys. Well, I hope you continue to stop by despite my sporadic posting. I’m sure that this nice break will help refresh and re-energize me for the new year! Have a great rest of your day, and I will talk to you soon!
I’m so glad you posted! I stopped by last night thinking that I must have missed a post of yours! 🙂 I am glad that your work situation may be improving, that’s great news. 🙂 I saw this polish at TJMaxx awhile back and now I’m kicking myself for not picking it up, it’s really pretty. And I love that you’ve done a bit of art with it!! 😀

So happy you have improved work situation. Now I don’t have to worry bout cha! Lol. And I love looking at your nails no matter what is on them. I got that polish last year and love it.
So happy to hear that your work situation has improved some. That is great news. I’ve been gone for the holidays and visiting family and I am soo behind on blog news. Hearing that you haven’t posted as much means I did not miss too much and it will be easier to get caught up. Yay for cooler temps and getting to pull out some little used outfits if only for a day or two. Much like you in SoCal we don’t get much “wintery” weather in south Texas either so the brief opportunities to pull out the scarves and boots are welcome.
Love black and gold combos to pieces, great stamp too!!
Yay for an improved work environment!
I love the colour (duh), I love the mani and I’m so stoked your stamping again! KEEP IT UP coooooz I wana see mooore 😀 always loved your stamping!
