Yin and Yang

I have a thing for yinyang symbols.  If I were going to get a tattoo, that's what I'd be sporting along with a peace sign.  It's the inner hippie in me.  I also have a thing for black and white.  Seen my blog design lately?????

These two loves make up my mani today.

Before we get there, a little side bar as always.  Today is my mom's birthday.  I used to think we were yin  and yang, black and white.  Opposites.  The older I get, the more I see that we are more alike than I care to admit most of the time.  She is hard core Type A, I am hard core Type A.  She is high strung, I am high strung.  She has the nickname of "The Bitch", I have been known to be a bitch.  We both have crappy intestines.  Literally.  See the pun there?

The few differences? I swear like a sailor, she only does in extreme cases.  I know how to be a couch potato am quite good at it in fact.  She never sits down.  I never understand where she gets her energy.  I'm worn out just listening to her schedule.  She vacuums so much, the vacuum commits vacuumacide-yes she has worn out many a vacuum.  I on the other hand, only vacuum when the furballs are as big as tumbleweeds.

So a big Happy Birthday to my mom!!  I love you mom!

Now let's see what I came up with for today eh?  Here is your silly bottle shot.


This is Rescue Beauty Lounge Iconoclast with Bettina Trend and Clair in the background.

I started with Iconoclast, which is a black with hidden shimmer, and an accent of Clair, which is a dirty white.  Here are the starting shots.

Next I stamped with Sally Hansen Whirlwind White and Iconoclast using Cheeky Jumbo plate 4 Top of the Class.  Here is that step.

I definitely am loving these new Cheeky Jumbo plates!!!  I should have used a stamping black polish for this though. I ended with my funky as always then added dots using Trend. No idea why, just thought it would look good.  Here are the results.

Why is it you always see the hairs after you take the pictures????  ARRGGHH!!! Anywho, I am loving this mani except for the dots. Those are a little weird. I'm not sure they go with this mani.

What do you guys think?

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
