Wonder Woman! A Pinterest Look

I wanted to be Wonder Woman when I was a little girl. I "flew" around the house in my Wonder Woman Underoos and pretended to save the world from harm.

LCN Polish Seal Arrived....So Excited!

I ordered my LCN Polish Seal on Saturday and it arrived today, Wednesday. I tried it right away. I followed the directions that came with the polish. I painted my nails with China Glaze Ruby Pumps, a glitter red. I Seche Clear for a base cost and Seche Vite for a top coat. I had a UV light that I used with my gel polishes, so I just used it to cure the LCN. You can use a 60 watt bulb so maybe next time I'll try that to see if there is a curing difference. So I'm on day one and will post how long my manicure lasts. I also used LCN Polish Seal on my toenails. One thing I already know is it made my nails perfectly dry immediately. No stickiness or dents!

Here's a two step project: Easy Earrings!
I purchased the pre-made "beads" at Hobby Lobby and turned them into fabulous peacock feather-esque earrings.

Carolyn Braden "A Lowe's Bracelet" An idea from Pinterest

I saw this bracelet on Pinterest and knew I had to make it. It comes from the website www.honestlywtf.com. She has the steps to make it on her site and my video gives you tips to make the creation a little easier. My tips come from my experience of being an art teacher. I figure if I have difficulty making something, I know my students will too. I am always trying to figure out easier solutions to making creative art projects.

LCN Polish Seal.....I've ordered it!

I ordered my LCN Polish Seal yesterday. It is not on back order any more and will ship out to me in 1-2 weeks. I will be using it as soon as I receive it and will update my post with the results. I am very interested in this product. Will I be able to use all my old polishes again and set aside my Shellac polishes? We shall see!
