Friend’s Fingers Friday: Birthday Nails!

January 9, 2015 by Lesley Leave a Comment

birthday nails in gold with glitter and cupcakes stamping

 

Thursday was Sandra’s birthday, so of course I did her nails in a celebratory style. We couldn’t find a birthday cake plate in my entire collection, so we went with multi-coloured cupcakes instead. Of course, the day after we painted these, I found my birthday cake plate. Go figure. See all the fabulous colours we used and more pictures after the break.

Friend’s Fingers Monday? – Candy Cane Shimmer

December 22, 2014 by Lesley 2 Comments

candy cane stamping with flakie topcoat

 

With all of the holiday prep and spending a week being sick in bed (but apparently noncontagious?), the blog has fallen a little behind. Sandra and I are still meeting for nails once a week though, and she gets to listen to me moan about how terrible I feel, and then I paint her nails anyway. It works out.

Rememberance Day poppies nail art

 

I have some nail art in honour of Remembrance Day today, which is tomorrow, November 11th. In Canada, in the month or so leading up to the day, we wear plastic poppies on pins in our jacket lapels, and even after three years living in the US, I can’t get used to the lack of plastic poppies around. I actually considered asking my Mom to grab one for me and send it to me in my Christmas package, so I’ll have one next year, but it might be weird. Of course, that’s not even considering that the temperature here in California is way too high to be wearing jackets with lapels in which to stick a poppy on a pin. I’ll have to content myself with poppies on my nails, I guess. See more pictures after the break.

About me

Hi, my name is Lesley Penney, and I first got into nails in the summer of 2014. I love nail art, cats, reading, and sushi, and I blog with the help of two feline assistants keeping an eye on me. I'm a Canadian living in the south San Francisco Bay area, trying to escape the heat.
