These are a few of my favorite things

If Oprah can have a favorite things annual episode, so can I!!  :)
You saw my self chosen turkeys yesterday, now here are a few of my favorite from the year...the creme de la creme...the bees knees....the gold standard.....the cat's meow....oh heck, they are just some of my favorites that I have done!

Number 5...
- The Black and White Cookie...
When I was growing up, Black and White cookies were the special treat that we got from the bakery on a Saturday morning....and here they are on my nails!  This was the early adventures in using scotch tape for clean lines.  nom nom nom.....


Number 4...
- The Galaxy Collection.
I am obsessed with galaxy manicures...it could be the scifi geek in me.  Or just the fact that I love the way these little guys turn out.  This may be my favorite nail design trend.


Number 3...
- The Diagonal Dotticures
 I love dots on nails.  Without fail, they cheer me up and perk up a manicure almost as much as glitter.  And my 4th of July Birthday tape manicure and Blue Reversi Dot manicure are two of my absolute favorites....and shhhh, so easy to do!!



Number 2...
- An Apple for Teacher.
I had a few back to school manicures this fall and this one was my gamble that had the best payoff.  I thought I would give free hand apples a go.  Designs like this can always be a gamble for me because they could go either way on my short nails.  They could be really cute or all disproportionate.  Thankfully, these came out really cute in my mind's eye!  I love the crisp fall look of this manicure.

Number 1....DRUMROLL......
- A Day At The Beach
One Saturday last spring I went shelling on the west coast in Florida and had a beautiful day.  Perfect sky, just warm enough, lots of shells, great company and food.

It was such a nice day that I ran home and painted my nails...

I love the pixie dust sand...and fairy dust always makes everything that much cuter.


I hope everyone had a great year and enjoyed their own adventures in nail polish.  I enjoyed this first year and am looking forward to see where 2014 takes me.

Enjoy!!!
