You know you are having a weird week........

When all you can remember is doing your nails but it to you it is still Monday.  I have an event on Thursday and have been wanting to use this polish but somehow I was doing other manicures.  So, yesterday, I figured out what happened.  I was prescribed this nerve pain drug, my psychiatrist said it would make me loopy boy did.  So, I know I did manicures because they are in my camera but I don't know why.  Imagine that a pill can do that to you?  I 've got one manicure and a popular eye pallette review.

Bats in the Belfry

This is one of my favorite polishes from Whimsical Polishes by Pam.  I used my favorite white OPI’s My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  This is one polish that I just felt white was the best color for this polish.  You can see that it has different shaped glitters.  It is really simple but so pretty.  It might look good on a dark grey or a gradient but I just chose white instead of going for another color.

You can buy Pam’s polish on her website at Whimsical Ideas by Pam.  They cost approximately $10.00 a bottle.

Hall Pass July

Now, you know I love doing these posts.  This month's hall pass is a gorgeous man who we have lusted for since he first walked into the fictitious city of Bon Tomps on True Blood.  Yes, I am talking about Joe Manginello.  Now, this is not an very day Joe.   What was wrong with the writers of this show.  He should have sex with every woman in Bon Tomps instead of chasing after Sookie.  They should have killed Sookie off first season because I know my friends and family who saw the show hated Sookie.  That is the only good thing about True Blood ending is I don't have to see Sookie.

But let's look to the future Joe is doing just fine with 5 movies in pre-production.  He is reprising his role in as big Dick Ritchie in Magic Mike XXL.  His first scene where he is sewing his thong was hilarious.

He is also rumored to dating Sofia Vergara.  That's a hot couple.  I hate to see cute guys with ugly girls.  So, I can deal with this.

Enjoy the pics.

Wow, I wash my clothes on that ab.

 

So serious.

 

I love a man who can look good grungy and then look like- see the next pic.

 

What a man!

Signing in

I have made a major decision.  I am not going to let this back surgery and all the complications because of it take away the one of the things I loved doing away from me.  After much research I pushed my doctor into finally admitting that there is a problem, it's scary and he has to fix it.  When I woke up from surgery of course the pain was terrible but there was something else I immediately complained about and that was that my feet felt like they had marbles on the bottom when not 24 hours out of surgery they made me walk.  They had not done enough to ease my pain even though morphine had been ordered I never got it.  I had the surgery in an outpatient surgical center the doctors owned.  I stayed three nights because they could not release me.  The last night I was there, I told the doctor I could not believe the only pain medication I could have was Hydrocodone.  A medication that is for mild pain.  He said I ordered morphine.  I told him I never got a drop even tough I was crying in pain.  I immediately got the morphine.  It was too late though.  I never got pain relief.  Last Tuesday, I just stopped pain meds but after two days realized I still needed something now and then.  The reason I still need something is my left leg retaining so many fluids it is crazy.  I got medication to solve it but it only cured the left side.  Scary because when people have heart problems they do get edema.  So, I really challenged this doctor and I won!  When does that ever happen.  I needed a win to gain confidence that this problem will be fixed on this doctor's dime.  Patty- (1) Kant (-1).  I am winning.   I have some people to help get through this and I am so grateful.  I am going to be okay.
Caio,

(I am going to edit some pictures tonight I have a review on one of the best beauty products on the market right.  So, look out for that)

The problem

The problem with depressed people is that their illness is often different.  I will be in the hospital again for two weeks only to start a physical rehab that will take months.  I want to thank everyone who read this blog but it will be,
Signing out it was a great ride.

KB Shimmer Summer 2014 Swatches and Reviews ( Warning Pic Heavy)

Press Sample

I was so happy when I decided not to give up blogging and then right away got a letter announcing the new line.  I knew I was making the right decision plus now with a professional journalist.  My daughter has agreed to do a guest post next month. She will be choosing the hall pass.  So, I am just really excited.  Christy also gave us the opportunity to choose the ones we wanted.  I was allowed to choose six and I really got some that I I don’t have many like and there is one other one I really like.  So, Christy did warn that the solids did take a while to dry.  I thought oh no.  It wasn’t that bad especially because I had missed my telenovela for two days, so I did one hand, then another while I watched the second.

Low and be Bold was my first choice mainly because I don’t have this color and think it will be great for my the polish rainbow.  It was sooth likes the ones from the last collection but these are Jellies and did take a while to dry but like I said I just put on a telenovela.

Royal as Reign lives up to it’s name.  It is that deep royal purple.  It does give you a little royal feeling when wearing it.    This one is a jelly so it does have a longer dry time that the other others don’t have.  Jellies need that extra time though to dry so can look good.  Now, I did come up with a really neat trick to getting perfect jelly nails.  I plan to share that with you this week. 

There was no way I was getting past not getting this one.  It is called Goldie Rules and yes my co-editor is getting so lazy but she is so loveable.  As soon as my husband leaves for work she nuzzles  into the area by  my stomach or the space behind my legs when I lie down.  The good thing is that she sleeps in her bed at night.  So my Husband and I are getting much better night sleeps.

Let’s Not Coral is just a regular crème polish.  This is my everyday favorite.  It is just so pretty because it is really has a lot of pink in it.  I didn’t have any problems with this one.  Because I made nail decals.  I am really excited to share this with everyone but this was my first trial.  I am thinking that you need to place a coat of  top coat down before you actually start adding colors.

She Tweaks Out is a textured polish.  It dries super fast and two coats is all you need.  I like the matte finish but I know some of you will want to see it with  a shiny coat on top.  So, her it is.

And here is the last color.

Run it is the Coppers a gorgeous peach holographic.  I have one from Cirque Polish in Cypress but this one from KB Shimmer I think is a better formula at a much better price.  It is pretty pigmented so two or three coats is ok.  This one goes on smoothly and dries quickly.

Theses polishes go on sale May 23, 2014 at KB Shimmer

Hall Pass of the Month

This month’s Hall Pass is Jessie Williams from Grey’s Anatomy where he plays Dr. Jefferson  Avery.   He had a really  brave moment this month when he ran off with the bride April  who he was fooling around with before she decided to marry poor ambulance driver

 

So, what make this man so sexy?  His voice, his eyes and let me say those are some beautiful eyes.  He plays the shy game and when he is out with you that is exactly what it is he is with you.   Grey’s Anatomy scored a winner in this.  I know what else is in his resume but to me that just doesn’t matter this man just has that it factor.

I Never Can Say Goodbye

After some very boring time, I realized, I can't stop.  And have you seen the new summer collections?    I feel so left out and miss doing this.  I will be having back surgery sometime by the end of the month.  I even have the hall pass.  It's just too much fun and I really need this in my life.
I' m back!
Patty

You might have seem this one coming.

I have been dealing with a lot of physical pain.  I have found out some information that is quite disturbing information about Texas.  Some of you know I have been wanting to go to California.  I want to start that process but first I really need to tend to medical issues. I will no longer be doing this blog. I am keeping my blog Knives, Depression and Nail Polish@blogspot.com.   You can see with what I'd doing on there.  I will be on Instagram and Pinterest ( you can't sot the addiction) and putting my too cents in at Facebook.  I'll be reading your blogs.  I just won't be doing these posts.  So many of you have been so wonderful. Thank you.

Ciao for now, Bella,

a England She Walks in Beauty

This is an older polish from a-England.  I wore it the other day and gorgot how much I love a-England.  I hope out with a spring line.  The ballerina collection was a bit of a flop.  They really haven't really had a line that has been as successful.  Revamping polishes just hasn't worked.  I think a beautiful pastel or just a neutral line would be great.  They haven't released anything like that.  So, a -England please give us some colors so we can collect more of your little gems.

Ciao,

Updated Hall Pass From February

I was trying to update this but had to go through live writer and it forces me to put it in on this date. I realized that the hall passes had more pictures and my poor Sebastian only one picture not fair so here are some more.  He is just so cute.  Yes, if you read the post before this I am in major back pain and all I can do is fantasize so I do spend time just looking.   

 

You might notice Hall Pass of the Month.  I think everyone knows what a hall pass is.  My husband woke up the other day and said he was dreaming that you were leaving me for one of your old boyfriends.  I just laughed and thought to myself been there done that so I thought of my hall passes and told him the only person I would have a fun afternoon with is one my hall passes.  I am very serious.  I live in Houston and I don't even see attractive men.  All the time I spend at doctors offices and hospitals and here and there and nothing.  So, I thought it would be cute to have a hall pass of the month.  I'll pick the first one and you all will pick the rest.

So, most of you probably don't know Sebastian Ruili.  He has been on my list for eight long years.  He is a Spanish novella star currently starring in Lo Que La Vida Me Robo as Alejandro Almonte.  This  show is more popular than any American show right now.  It so good.  I only can dream that mine will come close. He is currently single and 35 years old.  Good age.  There is just something about him. 

 

Have to have the chest shot

 

In one of his first telenovelas called Pasion.  If you like telenovelas and haven’t seen this one you gotta see it.

 

I love when he looks a little nerdy.

 

Enjoy,

Lack of Posts Beware of Steroids

I knew I said I was going to keep health issues to another blog but when something like has just happened to me I feel compelled to share this information because these are procedures mainly performed on women. It is the dreaded steroid shot.  Women appear to be more likely to get sent to a pain management doctor for certain arthritic pain.  I know when I had my first son  during labor there was severe pressure on my back because he was coming out face up.  I was so tiny weighing a mere 95 lbs when I was three months pregnant.  I gained 60lbs with all my pregnancies but because I was so young I recovered quickly.  It was my daughter who gave me major problems gestational diabetes and major back problems.  I spent everyday in the pool like a beached whale because my back hurt.  After she was born I did not recover as well I got down to 130.  Was ok there.  Got divorced and lost 10 lbs.  Got remarried and gained 20.  But still I was ok.  I stayed at around 140 for years until steroids came into my life and I gained like 30 lbs but then there was Lyrica which added 20.  Now, I am at 190.  That was not ok.  I never got back.  I ended up at 170.  I accepted it but consistently felt like I was dieting.  Then nervous breakdown which put on 20.  I ended up at 190 again but dieting got me back to 170.  Now, I've had some serious back problems.  I let this doctor hit me eight times with steroids each time in a different place promising relief.  I haven't gotten it and now the SOB has decided he can no longer treat me because I took two extra  pain pills in a month.  I am really frustrated and in bed a lot.  Last night we went to Temple and BAM!  I hit a hole in the concrete and fell flat on my ass.  Not good.  I got up and thought I was ok.  I should have just stayed there and let paramedics pick me up.  So, I am going to head to the hospital soon.  I just should have never gotten up.  I am going to post two posts I had scheduled for tomorrow and Monday today and hopefully I will be home tonight.  I've just been going through this steroid crap for a couple of months.  Oh, and while I been waiting downloading pictures for next month's possible Hall pass I updated February because poor Sebastian, I only gave you one pic.  That is not fair so look for that too. 

If I the doctors decide to finally surgically fix my problem which is what I need.  I will still send some post from bed.  My husband will just have to learn how to take pics.  He owes me since he has been a real dope for the last six months.  Now, that he is in another job he trying so hard but NO,  I owe him two months of misery and if he can handle it then he will be back in my good graces.  If I have surgery I can't have sex for a while anyway.  I know against what said on Facebook when I said that denying your husband sex when you are mad also denies you, so make up and make love.

My Winning Polish

 

One night I was on Facebook and Polish Addicts was having a give away and I won it.  Just like that.  No rafflecopter or anything other that leaving a comment saying I want that polish.  This polish is a glitter bomb.  It has glitters that are huge and it is just a fun polish to have.  I was so happy when I won it.  The name of the polish is Keep Calm, I Am a Polish Addict by Polish Addict.  I used Cashmere Bathrobe as my bottom coat but just think of the possibilities with this polish all the different colors you could use. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What color would you use with this polish?

The Difference Between Men and Woman

So, this is KB  Shimmer’s Autumn’s Collection, You Autumn Know.  So, I have been wearing this polish for week and  have done nothing to“fluff” it up.  So, I was looking at the polish and decided what should I name the post then it hit me.  I decided to call it the difference between man and woman and this is why.   My husband told me I really like that polish.  I agreed and that even though it was a fall polish.  I though I would play a little mind game with him.  I asked him what color glitters were in the polish.  He said red, purple, and yellow.

Ask a girl and it is a crelly with gold, fuchsia, copper, and lavender holographic glitter.  Yeah, that’s the difference.  The details.  Women look at details.  We are sensitive and observant and if men only realized how much we are like this then they could understand us.  Because we have them figured out food, football and cars.  I had a friend who we where we could be talking at the same time and know exactly we were saying.  Men can’t do that.  Just remember they are the simple ones of the species.

 

di.
