a little mini update

i have managed to keep polish off my nails for an entire week.  Yah me, but it really has made this blog very unexciting.  The yellow on my nails don't look as bad and i might have been able to stop the peeling tips.   I am so ready for a color this weekend, but it will not be amazing but it will include a base color of green (Rider green) and maybe some konad or a nailart.  It will be to support our Saskatchewan Roughriders as they are in the grey cup finales on Sunday start time 6:00pm.  Go Riders Go. Yah friend's housewarming/Grey cup party.
The nailart depends on how alert and untired i will be on Sunday morning/afternoon; as tomorrow is way to busy of a day - Santa's Breakfast volunteering from 730am-11:15am then off to soccer game for the 2nd game of the tournament for the Girls Under 16 Soccer (i'm assistant coach)12-1, then checking out the Weaver's Guild and try to pick up some amazing jewelry from JQ at flippery digits/ hearts on fibre (there is 2 separate links back there);  then back home to relax for a bit and off to my coed soccer game at 6:00pm and have some drinks with the team afterwards.   Wow that sounds just too much as I'm typing it, how do people try to manage schedules like this.

Well stay tuned for a nail manicure in the next 2 days.

My little unpolished broken nails

It was time to file down all my nails; the left hand had many nails that were very tiny anyways and i have this peeling issue i'm trying to get rid of.  As you can see i have discoloration of the nails.  (half of them yellow, with growth that is not yellowed...that is when i started to use the Seche Vite thickener & base coat before each mani) i'm going to try to leave them unpolished for a while maybe that will help to soften up the yellowing...but from what i've read on other blogs  i need to wait till the nails grow out past the yellow parts. What is your gals take on yellow nails? and how to treat? or if i can.

i have to file this thumb down even more

Notice the damage that i did to the left thumb.....the culprit is below in the next picture

Side view - Note for me*when wire wrapping a stone do not use your thumb nail even if the instructions tell you to.

Computer problems - virus

Stupid me, downloaded a virus from my email that said Fedex...i'm waiting on Ebay products - polymar clay rods so i was excited.  Had 2 or 3 clues that this was a virus but i opened anyways and then thought oh no...virus.  Sure enough.

Well writing a short email to state i have new pics of mani but can't download them till computer is fixed, hopefully it will be fixed by weekend.

Sunday is Yoga in No Room

I'm so excited, it's sunday night and i created a very pretty, not planned, well besides a rough plan using OPI "No Room for the blues", and OPI "Yoga-ta get this blue" and one size (the pink) dotting tool and thought for a freehand diagonal line for division of each color.  Applied the seche vite, cleanuped, DL pics and upload to bed and off to bed - almost 2.5 hours later, (i really need to improve this time).   Just hope this mani doesn't chip after tomorrow's work day is done. Having some peeling issues with a couple of my nails...anyone have any tips in this regard?  Is it time to give the polish on my nails a break?

at first i thought to do a diagonal line but tried to change it up so it was kinda swiggly. as you can see by the time i got to the left hand i was mostly doing diagonal again.
