So Much Stress

I know I haven't posted here in weeks. But it's been very stressful the last 3 1/2 weeks.
My 92 year old grandmother in-law that I am caretaker of had a heart attack, and since then my duties to take care of her has doubled.
Since then her pulse have been really low 38-46 beats per minute, and she's been very weak, not able to eat much and needed more help than normal. Needless to say I haven't had much sleep the last few weeks, and thank goodness I don't have a beauty blog or beauty YT channel where I do makeup tutorials. My skin is so bad.... And have dark circles under my eyes, I look like a raccoon.

Grandmother in-law was rushed again to the hospital because her pulse was very low and she was so weak and dizzy. They also saw that her kidneys have been damaged the last few weeks due to the medications they prescribed her.

Anyways, because of all the stress the last few weeks we have decided to take the kids to the Utah state fair tomorrow. So I did my nails.....
Didn't do a video of this mani, too worn out to record and edit one right now.

I used my first Enchanted  Polish Flashing Lights, this is just stunning. I so have to get a backup of this polish, I can't stop staring at it.
And on two of the nails on my right hand I did 2 coats of Orly Deja Vu as base for a negative space nail look. I used some striping tape, vertically on one nail and horizontally on the other once Deja Vu had completely dried. Then applied 2 coats of Flashing Lights and removed tape while the polish was still wet.
For the image I knew I wanted something delicate but simple that wouldn't hide the effects in Flashing Lights, so pulled out my Marianne Nails plate and picked a rose image on Marianne Nails n64 and stamped the image on 2 nails on each hand as accent nails with Funky Fingers Dark Knight.
Applied Superchic Lacquer Marvel topcoat on all nails, and pulled out my Crystal Katana and glued on some Swarovski crystals that was sent to me by Crystal Ninja a few weeks back.

These nails go well as awareness nails for Awareness Childhood Cancer for September too.

I wish you could see the full effect of the holographic effect in this gold glitter polish, it's just stunning. I hope you liked this one, thanks for stopping by.

I Love You, My Special Valentine (show your special someone that you love him with some cute nail art),

Time to do an other Valentines Day mani. Show that you have a special someone or that you're in love with some cute nails. My plans for Valentines day, well with kids in the house and no one to watch them I will make a nice dinner at home for all of us. Oh, and I will make an extra effort to make my hubby's lunch that day, and mebbe do some baking to add to his lunch.

Now onto the nails part, I used Essie Sugar Daddy as base. Then I cut out some pieces of sponge and dabbed on Sinful Colors Beautiful Girl and Bianca, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red on random places on my nails. Then applied a coat of top coat before applying some Swarovski crystals on my ring finger nail. Then I grabbed my Winstonia W102 plate, Konad Special polish in White and my Magno XL stamper with red replacement head and stamped on 2 accent nails. Then sealed it all in with some topcoat. I didn't want to stamp all of the nails because I wanted the sponge effect to show too.

Stuff from bornprettystore.com

Then I finally got my order from bornprettystore.com I got 3 empty wheels, wheels w/ pearls, silver and gold rings, water decals, and some other gold and silver 3d decals. I filled one of the wheels with all of my Swarovski crystals. I have to use a 2nd wheel for the rest of my crystals, but not easy to replace your nail art gems when you have kids hanging over your shoulder and bouncing up and down around you.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week.
