Nail Aid's Ultra Rapid Growth

**** Be sure to enter my Favorite Things Birthday Give Away by clicking: HERE!


Huh! So, I had to remove the nail polish that I was wearing yesterday to apply the Nail Aid Ultra Rapid Growth to test, and since the directions say that you can apply one coat followed by color.... OF COURSE I had to do another Konadacure!!! And since I won't be wearing this longer than 3 days (also per directions), I thought it would be fun to do a Halloween theme.... you all KNOW how much I ADORE Halloween (in April???)!!! And these are super fun. So here's how:

1 basecoat of Nail Aid's New Ultra Rapid Growth (available at your local Walmart VERY soon)
2 coats of Orly's Mirror Mirror
Konad for the web is found on IP S6 and done with Konad's White Special Polish
Konad for the spider is found on IP M1 and done with Konad's Black Special Polish
1 topcoat of Nail Aid's New Ultra Rapid Growth

This is the FIRST time that I've ever used this product. So far I LOVE it. Now I'm trying it to really measure the actual growth since the box says "Longer nails in just 5 days" so we'll have to see about that. Today's day one, but I CAN say that the base coat was AWESOME!!! I put it on and gave it a couple of minutes to dry. When I felt the basecoat, it felt like there was rubber on my nail. The box also says, "Fills in ridges for smoother nails" and I can see why. Depending on how this wears, this MIGHT be my new base coat. I don't have ridges to fill, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how durable this basecoat felt. And knowing that Orly has a tendency to be thicker than most polishes (which makes for a frustrating application sometimes), the polish went on super smoothly. Now as a topcoat, it has pretty good shine for a nail treatment polish... I was surprised. And it wasn't too terrible brushing over the Konad Special Polish. Topcoats sometimes make the Konad Special Polish smear... which DID happen with this one but I was lucky that it occurred on the hand that doesn't get photographed. I can see that there wouldn't be ANY issue as a topcoat over regular nail polish. The topcoat dried to the same wonderful "rubbery" texture as the basecoat. This polish just seems REALLY substantial... I guess that's the best word I can use to describe it. It goes on the same consistency as any polish really, but dries feeling slightly thicker. I'm really excited to see what my nails look like in 5 days. Monday I'll post again and we can ALL see the progress on day 3 and then I'll follow up with my final review on day 5.

Thank you to Nail Aid for giving me the Ultra Rapid Growth and the Maximum Iron Hardener to try, and thanks for sending the extras to give to my blog winner. I don't know when they are slated to hit the Walmart shelves (I didn't see it there yesterday), but I'll let you all know as soon as I do. If this is anything like all the other Nail Aid products I've tried, I'm sure that I will LOVE the results in 5 days!

Another Oldie But A Goody

Oh how I missed you!  This is a mani I haven't done in quite some time and I JUST realized that it NEVER got posted on my blog the first time I did it.  I can't believe it!  It's one of my favorites... and NOT just because it's a Halloween mani (mostly, but not entirely).  I like it because of all the Konad image plates I get to use to create this wonderful Halloween collage on my nails!  So here it is for the first time here on FunandmentalChanges.com!!!  And check out my thumb.... My thumb is sort of an exception to the rest of the manicure because the scary jack-o-lantern is off of a "fauxnad" plate, but the rest of the Konad images plates are M3, M17, M18, C01, C04 and C05.  Wow.... that really IS a lot of plates!!! So my base coat is Nail Aid's Pink Growth Therapy, then one coat of Orly's Mirror Mirror and then the various images stamped in Konad's special black and white polishes.  I LOVE THIS ONE!!!  The inspiration for this ...

Great Things Come In Small Packages

A couple of nights ago I had the pleasure of going to a Joel Osteen event. His wife and kids were there, his brother Paul was there along with local ministers. I did not pay for my ticket and believe it or not, I was picked up in a white hummer with black tinted windows... "my limo", I called it. This event was literally given to me. I got to spend the evening with two of the most amazing women and we had a BLAST. With all of that to be so grateful for, I find that my sights are set on the greatest gift given to me that night.... Philemon 1:6 . I really hate admitting this, but I have never read Philemon and I don't know why (it's 1.5 pages for crying out loud!!!). I want to say that it's so small and easily missed, but that isn't a reason.... made even less of a reason since I have tabs that extend from my Bible that don't know 50 pages from 1.... no excuses. Honestly, BECAUSE it's so small, it really should not have gone unread. Could ANY book of the...

Banana Split

Okie Doke!  This week at Paper Vineyard, we were challenged to create a project inspired by the Banana Split pictured above.  Couldn't you just jump through the screen right now and gobble that up???  What I love the most about this banana split is the color palette!!!  I never thought I would EVER say that about ANY banana split!!!   These colors are just so inspiring!!!  So I created: DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT!!!???!!!  Honestly, I wasn't planning on creating anything as my plate is sort of full for the month, but Bo Bunny arrived at the store and I just couldn't help myself.  I was ALLLLLLLL over it!  I bought ALL the papers from the Et Cetera line (plus the buttons and trinkets) and then MOST of the papers from the Double Dot Designs!!!  These lines are AMAZING!!!  There were also goodies from the new Christmas line, but I finally had to stop looking and walk away.  OMGosh, these lines ROCK!!!  So a...
