Hi there :)
Happy Thanksgiving! My family doesn't do Turkey for dinner for Thanksgiving, since really only my parents eat meat. Today we went to my moms house for brunch... OMG. I didn't even eat yesterday cuz I knew I was going to eat soo much today. And I did. I told my mom if I was poked in the stomach I might just pop! She made some french toast bake, banana nut muffins, banana cake, crepes, macaroni and cheese and some mashed potato bake thing some appetizers too. Holy cow, I ate too much! I truly am grateful everyday for everyone in my life and everything that I have! I hope today that you had the chance to see your family and have a truly special day! Are you participating in any Black Friday deals? I won't be shopping at any big box stores tomorrow, I am hoping to take advantage of some etsy deals that some people are having, but mostly everyone will be getting something home made from me! I hope that this year for the Holidays that you will shop at local and small shops! I really cannot stress enough, if you think the economy is bad, support local, support small!! If you are going out tonight to the big box stores, please be safe and courteous.
I will try to post all the etsy nail deals I hear about on our facebook page tonight before I go to sleep so you can all get in on the deals ! We also want to do a give away when our facebook gets to 50 likes. Its kind of a Christmas/Holiday giveaway so like us quick!!
Let me show you my Thanksgiving day mani! I used China Glaze- Harvest Moon from the Hunger Games Collection (I got it at Sally's a few months ago on clearance for like $1 and I was so excited! I wish they would have had more colors but I was way late to the party!) and Wet n Wild fast dry- 9021 orange. I thought they both went together very well and they were very nice thanksgiving colors.
I did alternating nails with each color. I had thought about doing just an accent nail but I really liked both the colors and I wanted more than just one nail of each color. I really really love the Harvest Moon color. More than I thought I would.
Thanks for reading! I hope you like them! Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble Gobble Gobble...
It is really weird for me to think that this time last year I was praying to God that I didn't have my son Elijah before Thanksgiving. If you have a baby, you have to poo before you can eat and I was not about to miss out on some feasting over a poo. haha
Decided to give Thanksgiving themed nails another try, last ones didn't turn out so well for me. I went and got myself another Pure Ice polish and went outside the norm for me and bought a brown color. I think its gorgeous, I just don't normally wear browns. I got Magic, its a coppery brown, and to me, a perfect Thanksgiving color.

First used a clear base coat, then did 1 good coat of this Magic. I think it looks really good on long nails!
After that, I decided to go back again and try Sinful Colors All About You again, since it didn't work so well for me the last post I did here. It has a few Thanksgiving shades to it, and it's just so pretty that I wanted to use it!!
So I did 1 good coat of it, but only did a slant tip on each nail. Decided to skip out on an accent nail which I have been doing a lot lately.
Can I also just say, that last nail post that I did... I learned a good lesson from. Don't use glitter on fake nails. Non acetone remover really sucks to try to take off glitter. My acetone that I normally use would have probably taken it off in one swipe. I probably used more cotton balls on 1 glitter nail than I did on all my fingers combined! It was horrible! lol Totally worth it though I suppose, because it looked pretty hot I think, and I kept getting compliments on them.
Anyways, I hope that everyone enjoys their Thanksgivings and you all remember the right things to be thankful for. Please be safe if you go out to Black Friday sales. Also, if you are going to shop, try to stay with local shops, or small businesses!
Also, this picture before its funny, but sad yet true.
