I think you are an awesome girl award!!!

I was tagged by Kitty Loves Color. :)

10 facts about me:

1. I love veggie sushi. I could eat it several times a week no problem. My favorite kinds are Forest Maki (cucumber, avocado and seaweed), Vegetable Roll, Avocado & Cucumber, and Seaweed Salad Roll.

2. My favorite color is purple.

3. My favorite American Idol contestant EVER is Scott MacIntyre. You can by his EP on iTunes and get full CDs from iTunes or CDBaby. Follow him on twitter Twitter.com/idolscott. Hear some o his music on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/scottmacintyre Check out my myspace fan page http://www.myspace.com/scottstreetteam
I think my bf worries if I ever meet Scott that we will fall in love and run off and get married.

4. I only own 33 bottles of nail polish (not counting the Konad stamping polishes and my base and top coats.) A couple of these are doubles because they were bought in sets. I say only because I have at LEAST 20 on my wishlist now. Most of them from Color Club!

5. I love cows. I have a cute kitten reaction to cows. I get all "BABY COWWWWWWWWW!!!" When my bf and I drive by any.

6. My favorite gadget aside from my laptop is my Amazon Kindle (1 not 2) I love to read and read every night before bed even I just for a lil while.

7. I love reading and watching anything relating to vampires, supernatural and paranormal. I love Twilight etc and I hope to read more vampire books and see more movies and series about them. I like to compare the different theories about them.

8. I am Team Edward. :)

9. I collect Frank Sinatra records.

10. I am going to see Cirque du Soleil's Alegria a week from today and I am so excited since I have wanted to go to a Cirque show for YEARS! Stay tuned for fun nails and makeup for that show!!!

Bright Zebra Konad (First Full Nail Stamping) M57

Hey everyone. This evening I decided to play with my Konad again since the fairy nad was chipping bit and I needed an excuse to practice more LOL.

These nails were partially inspired by some jeans from Hot Topic. The jeans are actually PINK and blue not ORANGE and blue. However I feel like the orange is great since it is blue's complement on the color wheel.

This orange is from N.Y.C. It took 3 coats to get it this color and I still saw some smile line. It also didn't quite dry evenly and I got some dents even after Konading. The color isn't quite TRUE orange it is a bit of an orange/magenta. Oh well. It was good practice and I think it came out pretty good. Here is a picture.




And the jeans... well they were on the clearance rack at HT and they didn't have my size. I would have gotten them if they did since they were an ADDITIONAL 50 percent off the already clearance price.

This is Pumpkin our adorable stray cat that sleeps on our porch bench. He loves us because we give him food and pet him. He has been fixed through TNR with the Homeless Cat Project. TNR means trap, neuter, return which means that the fix them and return them back into the wild so that they won't contribute to the cat overpopulation crisis. If you have strays in your area contact a local group that does TNR.

Konad!!!

I got my Konad order from OCNailart.com. I got the Salon Pro Kit and 5 additional plates. It comes with LOADS of stuff. Of course I took pictures. My first attempt wasn't so great. I should have used a lighter base color. I wasn't thinking A Grape Fit was that dark! Enjoy the pics!
