Teal Tuesdays - Jelly Sandwich

This week's tealicure is a Jelly Sandwich or Jelly Sammich. I love me some Jelly Sammiches! :) But alas the weather would not agree with me and so I had to do a very quick mani. :( So here we go again with another less than perfect mani.

It kinda went all gloopy! But other than that I like it! To me it looks like Certs breath mints! hahaha!

I used Color Club French Tip as my base with Essence Edward as the glitter (a greener teal in some lights) and Essie Marshmallow for the top! Marshmallow is a perfect topper for a Jelly Sammich! :) Actually that sort of sounds disgusting! hahahaha! :)

Teal Tuesdays was started because teal is unloved and needed its own day of celebration!
Teal is a medium to dark bluish green color of low saturation; a dark cyan.
Open to interpretation, anything green with a hint of blue or blue with a hint of green is welcome here!
Aqua, Turquoise,Tiffany Blue, etc etc...all are welcome - we do not discriminate!

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays: French Tips and Irridescent Flakies

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays are where we re-create manis from different blogs or pictures we have "pinned" on Pinterest, and link back to the original blogger!

Mine is the one above. Now for my inspiration I chose:

This is by Mommy Does Her Nails (please click title or image to be sent to her site). I've been wanting to re-create this mani for a while! I love how simple and gorgeous it is!Even though I just saw posts this week on how this could be a boring mani (not hers, but someone else did this type of mani). But I disagree! I love it! Wow!

Yeah, sorry this is my one and only photo that worked. Don't know how you ladies are able to take such amazing photos when it is cloudy! :) But I love this mani and will definitely be doing it again! I used Color Club French Tip for my tips and Essie Shine of the Times. 

What do you think? Boring or gorgeous?

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays: Mustaches & Monocles!

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays are where we re-create manis from different blogs or pictures we have "pinned" on Pinterest, and link back to the original blogger!

Shhhh! No, I have no idea what you are talking about. Part of this mani so doesn't look familiar! ;) Hahaha! (please see this post) So I decided to recycle a mani a bit. Shhh! :) I used China Glaze Agent Lavender as the base. Konad Black and plate QA28. I then used Color Club French Tip and Wet 'N Wild Black Cream for the monocles.

I was inspired by Samariums Swatches mani: Mustaches & Monocles! (please click the post title or the image to be taken to her site).

I love this mani a ton and it was a blast to recreate it! It's so fun and full of whimsy and awesomeness! Yep, awesomeness! :)

Thank you Samariums Swatches for making such an awesome mani! :)

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays: Eek! Faces

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays are where we re-create manis from different blogs or pictures we have "pinned" on Pinterest, and link back to the original blogger!

This week I decided to copy Emma's mani over at Manicurity: Eek! Faces. I thought these were so stinkin' cute! I used Nicole by OPI Wild Blue Yonder - Matte as my base. This is a lovely matte that almost has a suede like finish. I used Wet n' Wild Black Creme and Color Club French tip for the faces.

These little faces are so fun and easy! I want to do them again during Halloween! :)

Here is a photo of Emma's man from Manicurity. (click the title or the picture to be sent to her blog and post).

LOSTathon: Season 6

Day 6 = Season 6 LOSTicure

 

Here is my representation of season 6 of LOST:

Thumb: represents the main theme black and white running throughout the entire show and particularly between Jacob and The Man in Black's battle.

Pointer: represents the lighthouse that contains one of two lists of Jacob's candidates. Names of different people are seen on the bearings with only 5 that have not been crossed out. These are: Reyes, Ford, Shephard, Jarrah, and Kwon (Sun or Jin?).

Middle: this is Jacob's ankh with their names on it, that is given to Hurley before he returns to the island.

Ring: this is the cliffside cave that has the other list of candidates names. The Man in Black took Sawyer here to see his name carved into the wall. But the list still contained the name of Locke, not having been crossed out yet. And each name had a corresponding number 4-Locke, 8-Reyes, 15-Ford, 16-Jarrah, 23-Shephard, and 42-Kwon (numbers look familiar?).

Pinkie: represents Jacob's ashes.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Pointer: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Finger Paints Sketchy, China Glaze Stone Cold, Duri Gin Greyhound, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Middle: China Glaze Smoke and Ashes and OPI Warm & Fozzie.

Ring:Finger Paints Haute Taupe, Finger Paints Artist's Inspiration, China Glaze Stone Cold, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Pinkie: Essence The Dawn is Broken.

See the creepiness that occurred when I took the picture? See The Man in Black in the caveside cliff. That is not my reflection. I saw it when I was taking the picture and moved around and it didn't move! Do you also see the eye in the lower left corner of the yin yang symbol? Spooky! Wasn't planned either! :)

What did I love about this season?

-the back story of Jacob and The Man in Black

-Sun and Jin's reunion!

-Richard's story

-Ben's crazy secret room! :)

-"Locke" as the smoke monster!

-the flash-sideways

What did I hate about this season?

-crazy Claire

-Sun and Jin in the submarine :'(

-Sayid and the bomb :'(

-the what the crap just happenedness is all through out this season up to the very end!

-it ends. :'(

Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who worked on these epic LOSTicures and who made the LOSTathon so amaizing!

Here is a recap of LOST season 6:

Here is the the ending scene of LOST, gives me chills!

Here is a video of Jorge Garcia (Hurley) crying when reading his last scene:

LOSTathon: Season 4

Day 4 = Season 4 LOSTicure

Here is my representation of season 4 of LOST:

Thumb: is for The Oceanic 6, those 6 members (Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, and Aaron)

Pointer: represents the helicopter (yes, that is what it is!) that the Oceanic 6 are on when the island is moved. The person jumping from the helicopter is Sawyer, which he did to free up weight so the rest of them could make it.

Middle: represents the frozen wheel (with the light emanating from it) that Ben turns to move the island in time and space to keep it from Widmore.

Ring: represents the entrance of Daniel Faraday and those sent by Widmore to find Ben Linus.

Pinkie: represents intersecting lines of Jack's crazy maps as he searches for the island to be able to go back.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Let's Get Lost, and Essie First Dance.

Pointer: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Essence Romeo, and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Middle: Essence You Belong to Me, Catrice Lost in Mud, and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.

Ring: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Essence Romeo, and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Pinkie: Color Club French Tip, Essie First Dance, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Romeo, and Catrice Lost in Mud.

What did I love about this season?

-Introduction of Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, and Frank.

-When Sawyer shows more of his goodness and jumps out of the helicopter in order for the others to be saved! He can be such a good guy! And a big stinker too!

-Sayid and Nadia are finally together! (for a bit)

-Finding out Jack are Claire are related, she is his half-sister!

-Jack's beard! (hahaha!). It led to the name of Jorge Garcia (Hurley) and his girlfriend's podcast Geronimo Jack's Beard

-Charlie's back! Well, only has visions that Hurley can see, but he's back!

What did I hate about this season?

-Michael is back (I really just don't like his character).

-Jack and his issues.

-Hurley in the Santa Rosa Mental Institute. Because he isn't really crazy!

-There are other things that I didn't like about this season, but for the life of me I can't remember! :)

Tune in tomorrow for season 5!

Here is a recap video of season 4 of LOST:

 

LOSTathon: Season 2

Day 2 = Season 2 LOSTicure

Here is my representation of season 2 of LOST:

Thumb: are the 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. These numbers occurred frequently on LOST. They are the numbers that need to be entered into the computer in the hatch, they are the numbers that Hurley won the lottery with, they are the numbers that represent the final candidates to replace Jacob as protector of the island (not this season).

Pointer: is the Dharma (Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Application) Initiative logo. This is the first time we really find out about them from inside the hatch and other stations. We find out the hatch is the Swan Station.

Middle: represents the tail section of the plane and it's survivors, some being: Eko, Ana Lucia, Libby (poor Libby), and Bernard.

Ring: represents the hot air balloon that brought Henry Gale to the island. But we later find out the real Henry Gale was killed and Ben stole his identity. This is the first time we meet Benjamin Linus.

Pinkie: is a gun (yes, it's suppose to be a gun!) and it represents the struggle with power and the need of guns, and how many people die because of guns in this season (Shannon, Ana Lucia, Libby)

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip with OPI Skull & Glossbones over it, and Finger Paints Groovy Green.

Pointer: Color Club French Tip, Konad Special Black, and Chez Delaney plate D25.

Middle: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea, China Glaze Trendsetter with Essence The Dawn is Broken over top, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Ring: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Catrice Lost in Mud, Zoya Sooki, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

Pinkie: China Glaze Pelican Gray and Sally Hansen Gun Metal.

What did I love about this season?

-I loved the relationship between Hurley and Libby! (poor Libby!)

-Desmond and his accent! *swoon* (brother! said in his accent!)

-I love Rose and Bernard and their reunion!

-Ana Lucia died. :)

What did I hate about this season?

-Libby died!

-The eerie Walt visions of Shannon, kinda creepy

-Shannon's death, though she wasn't a favorite character I do like Sayid and felt sad for him!

-Michael and Walt's entire storyline. Not a fan of either!

-Ana Lucia. Did not like her character at all!

-Still making my brow wrinkle! (but I also love that about the show too!)

Now to wait until tomorrow for season 3, at least you only have to wait a day and not a whole summer! ;)

Here is a recap video of season 2 of LOST

LOSTathon: Season 1

Where were you on September 22, 2004? Me? I was sitting in front of the TV excited for the new JJ Abrams show to start. Who knew it would be such a worldwide phenomenon! From the moment it began with it's soon to be trademark title screen then an opening shot of an eye then to the cries and screams of Shannon and the eerie sound of the plane's engine, you were sucked into the drama that was...is one of the most talked about shows. What show am I describing? Well, LOST of course!

Welcome to the 6 day blog event with 6 other ladies and 6 manicures that make up LOSTathon! I'm sure there's some hidden message in the symbolism of the numbers ;)

 

So begins Day 1 of the LOSTicures (LOST manicures). Day 1 = Season 1.

Here is my representation of season 1 of LOST:

Thumb: represents Oceanic flight 815, this is the fated flight call number of the plane that crashed onto the mysterious island.

Pointer: is the mysterious hatch that Locke and Boone found. The yellow light represents the light coming from the hatch and the end of season 1.

Middle: represents the island itself.

Ring: It's a turnip, because one of my favorite things in this season was Charlie calling Claire's baby Aaron, turniphead because Aaron's head was the shape of a turnip!

Pinkie: represents smoke for the mysterious smoke monster that plagues the crash victims of flight 815.

Here are the technicals for the mani:

Thumb: Color Club French Tip, Ulta Blue For You, Essence Let's Get Lost, and Essie First Date.
Pointer: Joe Fresh Moss, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk, and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.
Middle: Essie Borrowed & Blue, Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea, China Glaze Trendsetter, Essence The Dawn is Broken (over Trendsetter), Sally Hansen Coco A-Go-Go, Kleancolors Metallic Green, and Salon Express plate SE18.
Ring: OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know?, OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, OPI Planks A Lot, and Joe Fresh Moss.
Pinkie: China Glaze Smoke and Ashes.

What did I love about this season?

-I loved that one of the pilots was a staple JJ Abrams actor: Greg Grunberg.

-I loved the scene of Charlie and Claire "eating" peanut butter.

-I loved the mystery and the what the crap just happenedness of the whole concept of this show (dude? a polar bear?).

What did I hate about this season?

-Rousseau, she's crazy!

-Ethan for hurting Charlie (and I can't say the name Charlie without hearing Claire say it!)

-That nothing was ever solved (this might be a common thing about this show), it was a wrinkle show. This means that when I watch the show my forehead wrinkles and I go huh? Such an interesting concept for a show, with you flashbacks (soon to be flash forwards and even flash sidways!)

Locke belongs in neither category. For as much as I love Locke (and his orange peel smile) there were just some moments in this season (and all seasons) that I wanted to punch him! :)

The season made me wanting more from this show and I was excited for season 2! As I hope you are too! Tune in tomorrow for the next season!
