Kimber’s Challenge A–Z Letter H

Well, this week I did not get my brand and polish name as an H.  I looked through all my Hits and not a one starts with an H.  So, I went to one of my favorite ‘H’ polishes I have and that is Orly’s Haley’s Comet sitting right next to it was Orly’s Halo.  So, I got an idea  and this is what I came up with.  Haley’s Comet is a comet that passes through the Earth’s atmosphere every 76 years.  I actually was alive the last time it passed through the atmosphere and it passes for around a week so if you don’t get to see it one night you always have the next night.  It passed in 1986 and it was a big deal.  I remember when I was in fourth grade a comet passed that only passes every like thousand years it won’t pass again in my lifetime yours, your children’s or even their children's.  But is is a big deal when you see these comet’s flashing through the sky at night.   We were camping and I am a little embarrassed to say that neither my brother-in-law or husband knew how to find the north star and had never heard of the big dipper.  I haven’t heard of any comets coming our way any time soon but maybe some of you will be alive when Haley’s Comet passes by sometime at the end of 2061.

What I did to achieve this look was painted my ring and middle finger with Halo and the rest with Haley’s Comet.  The using laser tape I just did some random stripes across the middle finger for the pinkie and pointer.  I put glequins on which were not that hard as long as you don’t use a fast drying topcoat,  use a regular one put them one and then you can put a fast dry top coat.  I got the glequins from the Born Pretty Store for  like $5.00 and I got twelve containers.  I am looking forward to using them again.  This was the first time I used them and was really surprised how easy they are to use.
So, it is Ciao for now,
Patty

Great mani! I totally remember Haleys Comet in 1986, I was about 8 years old and my school made a big deal out of it and set up a telescope so we could all see it and even get a photo of it! aaah memories haha!

I just read Lariesa comment - now I am bummed. I hate realizing how old I am first thing in the morning! But I digress...Haley's Comet looks like a beautiful blue in all your pictures, but the last one looks teal. It's pretty - I like the nail art too.

Hey, Patty!!!!

Love it. The color combos. The choice of accent and effects. The post itself.

I'm getting a kick out of our sweet polish sistahs (I refuse to spell it "sister" when the alternative is so viable) talking up the ancient-to-some 1986 reference. That's one of things I adore about this group of girls. Our experiences span the globe and the calendar. A very cool thing! :)

Good job, Patty! :)
