I received a lovely surprise from my friend Kathy yesterday. She gifted me this awesome stand for my mani-pro.
Plus, some holo powder from Social Claws and some Poli Peel for protecting your cuticle when stamping!!! Happy birthday to me (even though it was last month!!!! )
I appreciate it so much Kathy.
Hey, let’s have a sale on Crystal Pixie to spread the kindness that Kathy started
With images such as these all over the internet, it is hard not to want to do something, anything to help the town folk of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
The town in northern Alberta, Canada is up against dangerous temperatures and bone dry weather with low humidity making for expolovise conditions.
Smoke fills the air as cars line up on a road in Fort McMurray, Alberta on Tuesday May 3, 2016 in this image provide by radio station CAOS91.1. At least half of the city of Fort McMurray in northern Alberta was under an evacuation notice Tuesday as a wildfire whipped by winds engulfed homes and sent ash raining down on residents.

People are literally taking everything of importance and leaving the city by car, bus and other recreational vehicles. Mandatory evacuation of the towns 60,000 people is in effect.
This young lady was making sure her horses were safe as well.

One bright spot in this disaster comes from nail tech/organizer of The Canadian Nail Tech Connection, Dayna White. The CNTC is a association for Canadian nail techs to expand their professional horizons through networking and learning at their organized events in Canada.

Dayna heard the troubles and simply put it out there that if any other nail techs had gently used or unwanted nail supplies (good working condition) that may help these Albertan nail tech’s get re-established if needed, then they could have it sent.
Further she let nail techs who may have been effected know to simply let her know what their needs might be and she would help with what ever supplies came in.
A shout out to Canada Nail Supply for this post as well.
To our Fort McMurray friends: We would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. When the time does come to rebuild, please contact us at Canada Nail Supplies so that we can assist you in rebuilding. Whatever it is that you need we will do our very best to help.
If you have a group that may be able to help you can send supplies to:
Please send any gently used and new items to:

C/O theCNTC

Or if you want to pass this along to other people in our nail community that would be great!

For the final day of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge, they gave us Free Style. This worked out perfectly because I finally decided on what to do with my nails for the season.
I love the look of white nails at the holiday season but I also believe that metallics are the way to go for this time of year. (see my article in DLXVRSN Magazine winter edition. Page 89)
And as you can see, I incorporated all the things I love into my nails for Christmas!!!!
Check out the other artists that are participating!
