Mani Backlog - Stamps, Stamps, Stamps!

Man, oh man. There's been so much going on around here. For those who may have missed my reason for being gone, my Step-Dad, Andy, passed away very suddenly on April 16th. We held a memorial the next Saturday, and the nails I did in Andy's honor will be posted on their own tomorrow.

Along with all the "normal" things a family goes through when someone passes, my Mom and I both have Fibromyalgia. Somehow, the emotional pain translates to even more physical pain for us, so I think we're both moving slower than we usually do.

It also means that I've been very lax in my blogging and picture taking. I've tried a few new polishes here and there and just couldn't be bothered to haul my cookies into the other room and start the long drawn out picture process. However, I do have a few things to show you today:

April 11th: These came out SO CUTE! I wish the sparkle in Storm showed better in pictures, but overall I just love them.

May 4th: There are no words for how much I love this. Fairy Bread is just bright and colorful and happy and love. So many colors and shapes of glitter in a milky white base - and then matted?! Just yum, and Vivid Lacquer's stamping plates are awesome squared. This mani earned me a compliment from the gal at my check cashing place, which always makes me feel good, especially since she has her nails done by a pro nail tech.

Polishes Used:
