Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee & News

What a week. I was pretty ill so I didn't post anything. Then on Thursday.... I have happy news & sad news. I like to save the best things in life for last so let's start with the sad. My uncle who was 61 & my mom's little brother passed away suddenly. A few hours later, we

found out my daughter Candi ( who is getting married Sept. 1) is having a baby! Isn't something how God does things? He gives & He takes away. Speaking of babies, one of the mourning dove eggs hatched. I snapped the picture at.the moment the parents switched jobs...or shifts as I call it! The other egg should hatch today or tomorrow. This NOTD is Butter London's brand new polish Lillibet's Jubilee. This polish is to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond anniversary or jubilee. She has reigned in England for 60 years. This polish is a silvery lavender metallic foil. I have 2 coats on but it is opaque in 1. It is limited edition & available on Butter London's website. I got mine from b-glowing.com . I have a video on my Youtube channel (@bobbysgeel) comparing it to a silver foil from BL called Diamond Geezer if you are interested. What was YOUR week like?

Layla Retro Pink Photos!

FINALLY! The photo uploader is letting me upload these! Enjoy the holographic goodness!

NOTD Butter London Knackered

Today's NOTD is Butter London in Knackered.Sadly, yesterday's Layla polish chipped already. Just another reason why topcoat is so important. This is three coats of Knackered followed by one coat of Seche Vite. I love how unique this nail polish is. It flashes green,purple & silver....depending on the lighting. The shimmer is so sparkly & fine. What's on your nails today?

NOTD NEW LAYLA HOLOGRAM EFFECT NAIL POLISH

I saw this on The Polishaholic's blog & ordered it right away. It is$15.50 at Ulta. Of course, I chose the pink shade called Retro Pink. I used Seche Vite TOPCOAT as my base. If you put a topcoat on these polishes they lose the holographic effect. This is 2 coats. What do you think? I love it!

NOTD

Today's manicure is the new, limited edition Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color & Jewel Overcoat. I'm not a huge fan of nude nail polishes. I love color too much!

But I DO like this duo. I put on one coat of the nude nail polish in Duchesse ( yes, I spelled it the way SH did) Lace. It has a slight shimmer to it. Then I layered on a coat of the Jewel Overcoat in White Veil. White Veil is a clear base topcoat with small, matte white glitter & gold hexagonal glitter. I think it turned out nice. My Hunny picked these up for me along with another duo I haven't tried yet.. What is on your nails right now?
I have been housebound since my procedure last week. I heal S L O W L Y.
The doves came back! There is at least one egg right now. Really hoping.all goes well this time & we will have a baby dove to watch grow.
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, much love & blessings to you. <3

Manicure & Dove Update

I have some outpatient procedures on Good Friday so today I changed my nail polish. I won't be feeling well the next few days. I'm wearing one coat of OPI Rumpleswiggin followed by two coats of China Glaze Marry a Millionaire. I love the combo of the purple & green glitter...which is surprising to me. I love purple. But I'm not a fan of green...or any primary color. Strange, I know.

I have sad news about the mourning dove eggs. One of them was supposed to hatch last Sunday morning. When we got up, we saw the nest was empty. No birds & no eggs. I don't think the parents did it....there were no shells or signs of the eggs. I think a blue jay got them. I am hoping the parents will come back & try again. They have been around, but so far no eggs.

If I don't post again before Sunday, I'd like to wish everyone a very blessed & Happy Easter. I thank God for all His blessings.

My 1st Spring Manicure

I have been really looking forward to spring arriving. I really don't like fall and winter colors as much as I love spring and summer colors. This is Sinful Colors Cinderella....2 coats...with Revlon Whimsical on top. I like how you can see the pink sparkles in Cinderella
because Whimsical is so sheer.

An update on my mourning doves...they laid 2 eggs. It has been almost 2 weeks since the first egg was laid, so I expect them to hatch any day now!

A new obsession of mine is the HBO Series Game of Thrones. I spent all day yesterday watching the first season on HBO ON DEMAND.I am hooked. Season 2 begins tonight! Have you watched it? Thoughts?
