You're Timeless to Me!

Hiya folks!  Second to last day of Neverland Nail Blogs Let's do the Time Warp Challenge, sponsored by Nail Polish Canada - so sad it's almost done - it's gone by in a flash!

Today's task was to create a mani inspired by something that was popular both then and now.  This was a hard one for me - I had such a difficult time deciding what to do and this was the only day I didn't have pre-planned.  After much deliberation and one failed attempt, I came up with Adidas or as it's sometimes known "all day I dream about sex." if you don't get that you've lived under a rock for far too long - kidding :)  I can remember desperately wanting a full Adidas tracksuit when I was in junior high school - I was a bit of a wannabe skater girl and all the cool kids where wearing tracksuits.  I did manage to convince my mom to get me a pair of Adidas sneakers, they were a dark blue suede skater shoe - oh, how I miss those shoes.....  I also remember trying to track down old school Adidas shirts at Value Village - one of my friends scored the coolest Adidas shirt and I borrowed it quite a bit!!  I totally think Adidas has stood the test of time, I know my Grandma bought faux Adidas bags for my aunts and uncles for Christmas when they were kids.  And Adidas is still around, I would love an Adidas bowling bag - I actually think I have a black and pink Adidas purse that is quite cute - I should go look for that.....

Oh, and this isn't the first time, I've done an Adidas mani, when I was in high school, I did the Adidas symbol in white on black on all of my nails - I used a toothpick instead  a brush and I can only imagine the quality of it.....

Favorite Animal?

Hiya!!  So today is the third day in Ooh La La Polish's My Favorite Things Challenge - My Favorite Animal!  After yesterday's horrific day, I'm pleasantly surprised this mani turned out how I expected!  Never mind the fact that I spent time trying to think of all the animals there are out there - I even pulled out the ol' google search to see which animals were 'easiest to draw.' LOL

After much deliberation, I decided to do my puppy poo, Tucker, or as I affectionately call him Poppa, Poppa Dukes, Tucks, Tuckernutterbutter, Tucksnut, Stinky or the love of my life!  I've always wanted a dog, as long as I can remember.  Instead of the real thing, I got a shirt with a picture of a dalmatian on it - not the same thing mom!  We bought Tucker from someone on UsedVictoria, he cost a LOT of money.  We went there with the intention of just checking him out and lo and behold the hubby (who was not in for getting a dog with our three cats), fell in love and could not leave him behind.  Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Instagram, may have seen pictures of my baby, he's got a blue mohawk that gets all the ladies.  I don't think the picture picks up the blue mohawk I've given him, but trust me, it's there!
