Just One Of Those Tuesdays.........

Early this morning, like around 4 am I had to get up because I was dying of thirst. And I checked my phone, and even it was plugged in to charge it was almost dead. So I had to turn off and turn it back on to get it to charge, and went back to bed. Then woke up at 8.02 am with a panic, overslept...... Just because I had to turn off/on my phone it shut off my alarms. And it was just 25 minutes until the school bus would be outside the door, and the kid was still ZZZZzzzzzZZZ away.......
We normally have 1 hr and 15 minutes from he wakes up and until he goes out the door, so needless to say with 25 minutes and an autistic boy who needs his normal routine to get ready in the morning..... Yup, was a few tantrum fits before he went out the door. Then 30 minutes later, after he went to school I knew there was something today..... Then I look on my phone, run to the fridge and look at the note. He has an eye sight appointment at 10. am, so I run in to get hubby up who has the day off. And he just had to get dressed and out the door to get the boy from school. So far this day has been just BAD.
But I did my nails before I went to bed last night..... Hahaha.

On my left hand I used Julie G's Fairytale as base pulled out one of my Dashica's Dash plate 8 and Konad M19 and used Maybelline Amethyst Ablaze for stamping polish

Under my LED light that I use when I make videos.

On my right hand I used Essie's Sugar Daddy as base and picked an image from BM 308 and Konad M19 using the black stamping polish from Dashica.

Yesterday I got my prize for one of my entries on the Konad Ireland FB contest. I got 2 plates and the pump remover bottle, I have one but got an other as backup. I love it, makes it easy to do my nails. The plates I picked Konad S8 and S9.

Now, I am crossing my fingers that the rest of the day will get better. Hope your morning turned out WAY better than mine. Thanks for stopping by

The joy of stamping, Korean noodles and Korean TV dramas.

After the kids had their breakfast and was playing nicely with their stuff I thought it was a good time to do my nails. A few weeks ago I won 3 Julep polishes so I decided to try one out, I picked Grace since it's also my daughter's name. Then I pulled out one of my Dashica Dash 15 plates and Konad white and m19 for French tip for my left hand. On the right I used Grace as base again, but used Maybelline's  Amethyst Ablaze  for stamping. Then I just used some nail stickers to add as finishing touch for my mani and some rhinestones.

Then it was lunch time and to warm me up since it's so cold outside I did some Korean noodles, and a few rice cakes and some dumplings. And of course some Kimchi on the side, both the normal napa cabbage kind and radish. And there's no doubt little Grace is half Asian, she loves noodles and rice. But turn her head to potatoes.......

And while I was slurping my noodles I decided to watch some Korean drama on hulu. Right now I am watching Kimchi family. And they have managed to make Kimchi making look like an art, I just wish I could jump into the screen and taste all those yummy foods they show. Also I haven't had much Korean food since I was adopted years ago, so when I tasted the rice cakes the other day I guess it triggered something. The taste and the soft chewyness was so familiar, I must have eaten rice cakes when I was a toddler.

You like my owl nail file??

Korean noodles, rice cakes and dumplings  topped with radish kimchi.

Back to stamping.

Yes, I know I haven't done any stamping posts or videos in a while. Not been feeling it the last couple of months. I miss my brother who lost his battle to cancer a few years ago, and when it comes to holidays I always miss my grandparents. It didn't help that I broke my nails twice, so I was back to short stubs.... I hate it when my nails are short. But I guess I just have to kick my self in the butt and start doing my nails again. This Sunday's challenge in AIS is With An Accent Nail. And I was trying to figure out what to do. Then it hit me, lol. I have started to watch Korean TV dramas on hulu.com The first one was Jewel In The Palace/Dae Jang Geum, now I am watching Hwang Jin Yi. And one of the gown the main character is wearing just got my attention, so I decided to do a mani inspired by that.

I used a white Sally Hansen as base color on 4 of my nails and on the ring finger I used SH Insta Dri Rapid Red , I also used Rapid Red as stamping polish for the red flowers and the black French tip I used black stamping polish from Dashica.  The plates used for this look Bundle Monster 318 and Konad M19

Ring finger is like the skirt of her gown, and the other the top with the black ribbon.
