Happy Mardi Gras!

To celebrate Mardi Gras, I decided to make Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Dirty Rice for dinner. Yummy!

This is my Mardi Gras manicure... Orly Space Cadet topped with China Glaze's Golden Enchantment. Space Cadet is from the Orly Cosmic Fx Collection, 2010, and Golden Enchantment is from the Fashion Fairy Collection. Space Cadet is a duochrome-- reddish purple with green, gold, and pink flashes. Every way you tilt your hand, the color will change. Golden Enchantment is a golden holographic topcoat, which I added to get just a tiny bit more flash for Mardi Gras!

Hope you had something tasty for Mardi Gras and that life brings a lagniappe for you every day... that's Cajun for "a little extra" something... a nice surprise or bonus!

New Scarf

Latest scarf... knitted in Sitar by Nashua Handknits, the colorway is Gypsy Wagon. This is a wool/acrylic blend and very soft. I fringed it in mohair.

Polish of the Day

Candy Shop by Deborah Lippmann...bubble gum pink base with multi-colored glitter. I love, love, love this polish!! It makes me think of birthday cakes and fiestas and cascarones!! Fun color that made me smile every time I looked at my manicure...great formula and good wear.
Candy Shop is now available for purchase individually... at Neiman Marcus or the Deborah Lippmann site.

Happy New Year

My cat got a surprise basket from Fancy Feast right before Christmas-- seems the Fancy Feast people read her Catster blog and wanted to reward her addiction to Fancy Feast. She looks so pleased with herself in this photo...and she looks pretty good for almost 19 years old, doesn't she?

They also sent a basket for the humans full of yummy goodies-- that's the basket behind her.

You could have knocked me over with a feather-- who knew they read cat blogs?

Nail Polish of the Day

Polish of the Day is Glitter Gal's Dark Purple 3D Holo, an Australian polish, ordered here. They shipped super fast and also carry some Ozotic polishes. I love these Glitter Gal polishes. They dry fast, are linear holographic polishes, and sparkle like crazy in the sunshine! Wear like iron, too!!

Nail Polish of the Day!

Today, in honor of National Feral Cat Day, I wore teal. Check out the Teal Nail Project here.  I choose China Glaze's Techno Teal, part of their Tronica collection. It is a holographic teal polish, with amazing sparkle and depth of color! One of my favorites....
