I've been awarded a Versatile Blogger Award!

I'm very late at doing this and won't be exactly following the rules but I'm very appreciative and feel honored that Posh Nail Art awarded this to me!

The rules are:

1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers who are relatively new (I fudged on this due to when I was nominated and when I found it etc....they were when this started and are still around some of them....) to blogging.

2. Let them know that you have nominated them.

3. Share 7 random facts about yourself.

4. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you.

5. Add the Versatile Blogger Award picture to your blog post.

So my 15 nominees are:

Amandalandish
Canadian Nail Fanatic
Chalkboard Nails
Dressed Up Digits
Fashion Footing
Fashion Polish
Finger Polish Mania
Girly Bits
Icy Nails
Intense Polish Therapy
Lacquer Buzz
Lucy's Stash
More Nail Polish
My Life in Polish
Nail Polish Wars

The 7 Random Facts About Me:

1. I have traveled to almost all 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska!

2. I graduated high school and earned the HOPE scholarship for my 1st year of College in GA!

3. I have moved 10 times in my life

4. I've had over 30 surgeries/procedures since May 2000

5. December 30, 2013 I was told had I waited 3 more days to come into the Dr., I would have been dead due to both lungs being full of blood clots, 1 clot in my right atrium, and the most dangerous one was a 13cm clot in my lower right abdomen vena cava vein they had to use Thromboletics to break it up and clear it out.

6. I am very lucky! I told my husband to play a number on the roulette table and when he went to play it they closed the bets just as he got there so he was too late... my number was the winner! this happens all the time to me! the numbers just come to me. I also have premonition dreams. they freak me out when I am in the middle of actually going through it.

7. I am a very kind, caring, and giving person to a fault. This runs in y'all's favor! I do giveaways often! Stick around to find out now that I am restarting etc.

Thanks again to Posh Nail Art for the nomination way back in April 3, 2012! I caught it recently when going through to fix broken images etc.

Need Polish?

Well, I happen to be purging a huge amount of my stash currently on ebay. These are all ones I haven't even used! I have over 50 up currently and haven't even gotten into my OPI's, Revlons, etc. What I do have up are more Funky Fingers, a ton of Cult Nails, some Julep, Illamasqua, etc. If you are buying a bunch, when you are done saying yes to the auctions, don't pay! Wait for me to invoice you because I will combine the shipping and give you a better price. If you go ahead and pay I won't go back and combine the shipping pricing etc. It says it all over my auctions as well. you can get my ebay page here.

I did the pricing based on what ebay suggested not just some numbers pulled out of the air etc. They said that's what particular things were being listed at and going for at the time so I went with it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me before you bid/buy because once you do you are committed.

I am working on blog posts you will really enjoy that will be coming soon! there will even be giveaways! So keep your eyes peeled and if you have not seen how giveaways have been done in the past you might want to brush up on them! They come out of nowhere and there are ways you can earn more entries prior to them beginning!

Peace and love!

Winterizing Your Nails

I was asked recently by Julep what it is I do to winterize my nails! I never had really thought about what I do because I don't have very big nail beds etc. but I'll show you all the tools I do use to keep my nails healthy and ready to be able to paint etc. But first, I wanna show you some swatches Julep sent me that I fell in love with:

The only color I think wouldn't work with my skin tone is Shari BUT I could see doing cute pairings and designs with all 5! If you would like to check out all of Juleps colors they now have a page you can go to! The Julep Polish Page has all the must have colors and all your old favorites!

Here is the way they suggest Winterizing your nails:

Check after the jump for what I personally use that come in these two bags:

Used at Home

In my Purse

Huge Polish Sell Off

I am going through my current stash and selling off a lot of it that I have never used and are now very hard to find and were limited editions at the time I bought them. One thing I have up is the entire 2011 Wet n Wild On The Prowl LE Collection which at the time was hard to find all 8 bottles, which I not only did but found doubles of some and sold them off then keeping this 1 set in tact for sometime in the future which is now.

I have HTF China Glazes up, a Deborah Lippmann, some Illamasqua, Julep, Butter London, and some Essie. The fun of this sale is I have a ton of HTF Funky Fingers that I have put up with the statement if you buy 3 Funky Fingers, your 4th is free!

You can find this on going sale Here! I am having problems with my right shoulder so it makes it hard to do my nails right now! Plus this money could help towards a computer/tablet upgrade! Keep an eye on it because I will keep adding stuff. The polishes may look wonky in the pictures but that is because of Ebays new policies of 1. No watermark and 2. It must be 500 pixels tall which mine have been fine in the past but now I've had to go back in and redo it for the tall factor.

So please go take a look and have some fun! I have more reviews I am working on so keep an eye out for that too!

Peace and love,

Jeanne
