Feels Like Christmas

OK, San Diego is not exactly known for its rugged winters, but DANG it is COLD here lately. And the cold is apparently accompanied by Santa Ana conditions, so it is cold AND we have high fire danger. Huh?

Anyway, this blog is not about weather. I have no doubt that topic is discussed liberally around the globe and I will keep my ignorant comments to a minimum.

On to the new nails. That is afterall why I am posting.

I have made a not quite successful attempt at tangled Christmas lights, since tomorrow I plan to hang lights on the house and expect to encounter plenty of tangles and hope to keep a sense of humor about it.






The photos do not do the red polish justice. It looks like Dorothy's red slippers in real life, and since I will be spending Christmas in Kansas, that seems doubly appropriate.





I am sort of wishing I had stuck to plain, non-metallics on the lights. I am tempted to try those gel pens for fine lines next time, but on the other hand, hand-made is an important element to this hobby for me. If I wanted things to be perfect I could use decals. That is not my goal. I just enjoy the process.


While I may not improving my painting skills though, I did find the acrylics were easier tonight. Maybe I am getting better at that part. I had very little grinding to do this time. Yay!
