And of course the flower on Jacob’s Ladder. The nails are purple tho they look blue on here

Put red on this afternoon in the sun, but then I started pulling out a few eeds etc as you do lol, so it had to come off

THen I remembered my toenails had black glitter shellac on so I decided to go and look to see what else I had

Ah thats better now

lol dont know why I did that..must be the sun going to my head lol Anyway that;s Jacob;s Ladder courtesy of Bloomer..thanks! :)))

8 Aug, 2012

 

That's a pretty shade, Pixi and definitely complements the Jacob's,the scabious and the lychnis ( which appears violet in that shot).

8 Aug, 2012

 

Yes youre right! and its really deep pink! Omg I'll have to buy new polish lol

8 Aug, 2012

 

ha ha,thanks for making me laugh,Pixi..you are as mad as a box of frogs !Thanks for taking the time to colour match..and the blue is a perfect with 'Jacob' ! Lol.

8 Aug, 2012

8 Aug, 2012

 

Definitely....we need plenty of that,Pixi..:o)

Mmm, pink?

8 Aug, 2012

8 Aug, 2012

 

I'll bet you did, SL! LOL.

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol somthing i'll never forget that day :-)))))

8 Aug, 2012

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol SL!! What colour were you wearing??!!

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol Pixi i though it did :-))

Left hand was Pink the right Light red :-))

8 Aug, 2012

 

Unconventional too - I like it, SL.

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol :-)

8 Aug, 2012

 

That's why people were staring - you're supposed to have both hands the same colour!!! lol :-)))

8 Aug, 2012

 

Hehee

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol i like to be different :-))

8 Aug, 2012

 

OOOh you are awful! lol

8 Aug, 2012

 

Well you certainly were that day!!

8 Aug, 2012

 

waht was that gay feather pic you put on SL? am getting worried abot you lol

8 Aug, 2012

 

Lol Pixi :-))

9 Aug, 2012

 

I am envious of your nails Pixie. They are a lovely shape, no matter what the colour. Glass fusers nails are pretty awful, they are regularly cut off or burnt off! Sigh. Jx

9 Aug, 2012

 

i use d to have really long nails..once all my classes start back i will prolly have to cut them all down as they will break..modroc with kids class is the worst lol. thanks :))

9 Aug, 2012

 

Sorry folks coming to this late, but...Lol!!! Especially to you SL! I'm kind of wondering what the rest of you was wearing! \O/ ;DD

Pix...does Sarah have any colours which would compliment (or better still, hide) "grime"? It's a dark green/composty colour...lol! ;DD

9 Aug, 2012

 

Lol Karen :-))

9 Aug, 2012

 

Cut em short,Karen..and keep your hands in your pockets :o)..like me ! Lol..or just do a Carol Klein ..she doesn't give a fig about her nails..just enjoys her hands in Mother earth :o)

9 Aug, 2012

 

...but...I used to look "elegant", Bloomer, just like SL!!

Mother Earth has a lot to answer for...but not as much as bags of compost! lol!! :DDD

9 Aug, 2012

 

"Elegant" and compost don't mix ,Karen..it's either one or t'other ..you can't have both :o)

9 Aug, 2012

 

tfff...that's where I've been going wrong...

Bloomer! You've shattered my illusions again...second time it's happened today...I'm not sure how much more I can take...(sniff)...

...life is not a bowl of cherries...or tomatoes...or raspberries...or aubergines...or gojis...or gooseberries...or anything else I'm growing...

...except courgettes!!! lol!!! :D

9 Aug, 2012

 

Lol,Karen..bet you wished you had stayed away a bit longer then ! :o) ...and sorry about all your fruit and veggies..I won't be popping in ,to share your Courgettes,though..I hate them with a passion.. is that why you've grown those horrid things..to keep me away ?? :o)

9 Aug, 2012

 

As if, Bloomer...they are the only things I'm inundated with!! Try and spot anything else in my garden!
I'm sick of spaghetti with courgettes!...and the odd tomato...
...they're yellow ones though...:))

9 Aug, 2012

 

Try making some white wine with them Karen .
I never have , but peel and grate oceans of them with enough water , lemon juice , some sugar , bit of yeast .....see what happens ; a break from the spag , anyway !

9 Aug, 2012

 

Did you see some of the girls nails in the olympics....tiny union flags.....wonderful

Pixi why are you ready to strangle that poor boy........

10 Aug, 2012

 

lol K ..there is black! or dark green actually lol
Know what you meann..i have 4 pairs of gardening gloves..hmm..must be in the shed somewhere..lol..even Rick put a pair on yesterday to take out a rose for me lol
But he doesnt wear nail varnish like SL! lol
OOh courgette wine! there ya go K!
My daughter does nails Pam..she has MINX usuallly jsut done on toes..and there is union jacks and all sorts of things yshe uses..i had skeletons once! lol
I dont know why I did that lol..jsut being daft. well he just wont turn that page! x

10 Aug, 2012

 

Lol! Driad...just what I need...gallons of home-made hooch lying around...! How long would it...or me...last, I wonder??!! :D

I'm with you Pix...hate gloves - you have to keep taking them off and on...then they go crunchy...

Right! Inspired!! Off to see what Chalais has to offer on the grime colour match...:))

10 Aug, 2012

 

Not long I wouldnt think K! lol
hehee

10 Aug, 2012

 

Hee hee! Death by hooch, I think, Pix...

Got a shi**y green colour this morning...
...but, think I prefer the natural grime! lol! :)))

10 Aug, 2012

 

lol );

10 Aug, 2012

 

Have you not tried surgical gloves ?
They are either vinyl or latex and they are like another skin , just peel off when job done , clean hands !
Sorry about the courgette wine ,Karen , I felt inspired with " Chateau Zuccini ".

11 Aug, 2012

 

It sounds fab, Driad, in more ways than one......in principle...lol! :D

I've done those gloves too...my ex and I had a pottery for the best part of twenty years...and some of the glazes were heavy-metal toxic and/or leaching...

...and I still couldn't do those gloves...

...'spect one day, I'll wish I had...But it's too late now...lol! :)

11 Aug, 2012

 

Can't do these signs , Karen ( :)) ) .

11 Aug, 2012

 

What do you mean, Driad? Do you mean the sideways smiley face? :)
...a bit lost in translation... :))) (= big smiley face!) x

11 Aug, 2012

 

That's my smiley frog face! Anyway, back to courgettes, which I love. How about a courgette and lime cake? Very nice.

11 Aug, 2012

 

'fraid I don't like cake, TB...which is probably just as well - having loads of that lying around would be just as disastrous as the wine...just in a different way...

...nope...there are millions of courgette/pasta recipes, and there are still one or two of them that I haven't tried yet...lol!

12 Aug, 2012

 

Alright :))) , then !

12 Aug, 2012

 

LOL Driad! :)))

12 Aug, 2012

 

LoL!! I find a thick coating of silver nail polish hides all the dirt!!

29 Aug, 2012

 

So that's the secret,Lulu...I just keep them really short..and even with gloves on ,they still get black! Mind you,the gloves are more off than on :o)..so restricting !

29 Aug, 2012

 

I have some great gloves, next time I see them (in my car and it's raining!) I'll tell you what kind they are! Only take them off if my mobile rings!

29 Aug, 2012

 

Thanks Lulu..that would be great :o)

29 Aug, 2012

 

I jsut paint my nails to hide the dirt lol...and paint! ;)

31 Aug, 2012

 

Lol,Pixi..at least you have plenty of paint to choose from..I think we only have Emulsion and Gloss! :o) X

31 Aug, 2012

 

lol i meant nailvarnish! hahah

31 Aug, 2012

 

:o) ..and I meant I don't have any nail varnish...only the wall paint stuff ! not really cool for fingers and toes,is it? At least you have a choice of colours..:o) x

1 Sep, 2012

 

lol ;)x

2 Sep, 2012

 

Oh blast, keep forgetting to check those gloves!!

3 Sep, 2012

 

No problem Lulu..still got three fingers of one,without holes in ! :o)
