Gumdrops and Lollipops

Well, really just lollipops.  Maybe you don't think immediately of lollipops in association with Halloween--and your instincts would be right in my opinion.  But I went to a Halloween party and I dressed up as Katy Perry from her music video "California Gurls."  If you have watched the video, you know it's all about candy and sweets.  So to keep with the theme of all things sugary, I painted lollipops.  I'm attaching some low quality pics the costume and a screen cap of Katy for comparison so you get the idea!~

My Version

Base coat color was China Glaze Light As Air and I used Ulta Angel Baby for all the white accents and the colors used for the pops were Zoya Jolene, China Glaze Sky High-Top, Entourage, Sun Worshiper and Orly Mirror Mirror for the gray pinwheel forms.  I coated the whole look with a sparkle polish Fairy Dust and a top coat of Seche Vite.

Krafting with Kari

So Kari and I went out today to get me pants to wear post surgery. I got one maternity pair of pants and a track suit at Unique. And I only spent like $13. Sweet. Then, we went to get a coffee and stopped in at Patina where I coveted many things but one item in particular: fingerless gloves with a lace overlay. They were much to expensive to buy but not too expensive to get the itch of DIY. So we promptly went in search of gloves and lace, and for the same price as one pair at Patina, I was able to make two!!!!! This is the result (and please not the polish job):


Jokingly named "Wedding gloves"
