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

Awhh this mani is so cute <3 I love your story about the comet, I wasn't born yet in 1986 so I hope I can see it in 2061! :D
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.
Super cute mani! Love Haley's Comet, makes me wish I had more blues in my collection :)
I love this polish!! Looks great on you!
I love manis with a backstory! I remember seeing Haley's Comet in 86 (and now I feel old!). I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Great manicure!
Halley's Comet is one of my favorite polishes!!! Very pretty mani!!
I love your fishie ring! Great mani, too, the colors look gorgeous together.
Dots and stripes! Great minds think alike ;) I love your mani! And the Halley's comet history!
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! :)
and the ring rocks!
Super sparkly! This is really pretty :)
Great skittlette!! And thanks for the Haley's comet info, why don't I remember it...
Great color combination and I love your ring!
