I made Christmas candy!

I was all excited to do something spectacular for you today.  I was going to step up my stamping and really impress you.  I'm not sure that I succeeded.  Read on-

I finally got my Color Club Artsy Crafty from some cheap online crap store.  At first they sent me Fame and Fortune-which is a pink glitter! You guys know me-what do you think my reaction was to this??  Oh yeah, I was cringing inside.  I ordered a nice green creme and got pink glitter!  This company made me send it back before they would send me what I originally ordered.  WTF? What kind of crap is that? It's your mistake, not mine!  But they were insistent. So after days of waiting, I finally can show you the lovely Artsy Crafty.

Here is my big boy Sam (he weighs 26 lbs) and the silly bottle shot.  He would not sit still, so I snapped this rather quickly.


Isn't he a cutie? Funny story-I like my house cold. Yesterday, it was 42 outside and 62 inside.  Yes I had my windows open but it was a little chilly.  So I turned the heat on to 65.  Then I couldn't find Sam. After searching my mansion, all 1100 square feet of it, I found him lying on one of the heater vents on the floor! I guess it was chillier than I thought in my house!!

Anyway, on to the polish.  Artsy Crafty is a lovely olive green creme and I was going to pair it with Color Club Perfect Mol-ten from the foil collection. These are great for stamping!  The PM is a light green metallic foil.  Here are the indoor and outdoor shots. Unfortunately, it was raining and cloudy, so no sun shot.

Aren't these nice together?  I then stamped with plate BM 203, it didn't show up on the accent nail. Artsy Crafty is not good for stamping.  Then here is the wow factor, I grabbed Color Club Red-ical Gypsy and stamped with plate M76.  On my pinky, you can see it just doesn't show up, so I didn't do the rest of my nails.  Only the accent nail, then of course, my funky french.

I was going to try to get a sunshine shot in the next day, but alas, I broke 2 nails on my picture hand!  So I will be filing the rest down for the next post.  Such a bummer!

While at work, the doctors always want to see what's on my nails that day.  The one I was working with that day looked at them and said "it looks like the candy you get at Christmas."  But he couldn't remember the name of it.  So my spectacular wow you mani looks like Christmas candy!

Oh well, there's always next time!
