With spring just around the corner I thought it would be fun to have a pretty piggy party. :) Even though we've had snowflakes fall just this week, there is a different slant to the sun and a little hint of warm temperatures here in Ohio. I know some of you southerners are already in your sandals and flip flops! But we northerners are anticipating that wardrobe change to happen in a few weeks. To get ready, I thought it would be fun to celebrate by getting those first pedicures of the season, whether done at home or professionally. And it would be even more fun to share what your pretty toes look like!
The Pedicure Party will be Monday, March 26th. I'll post a Mr. Linky that day so we can visit each others blogs and see your pretty toes. You can do a regular basic polish, a french tip (my favorite), or get really creative with some intricate nail art. I've even seen decals for your nails in the stores, sold alongside the polish.
You have a whole 18 days to get ready! No pressure! ha.
Hopefully by then we'll be wearing flip flops at least part of the day!
If you have a daughter at home, it would be fun to do them together!
And yes, guys! You are welcome to join in! Look at "Mike" here. I got his photo from googleimages.com I guess he thought some palm trees and sunsets would be fun for his vacation look. Not sure if the hairy knuckles detract from the look or add to my giggles. :)
I'd love to have you join in! You can take this photo and link
back to your blog's sidebar if you would like and invite your friends, too!
And wouldn't it be fun to have a giveaway?
One participant will be randomly chosen to receive a gift from me.
Details to come in the near future.
And thank you, Martha, for the great party idea. :)
♥
Hm. I'll pass, haha!
ReplyDelete"Pretty piggies?" You crack me up, doll!
Deletehaha...oh, come on...black polish? I know black if your favorite color! lol....
DeleteMaybe I can get Orlin to join in, you think? Or Cassie?
I'll ask Orson if he wants to play, but don't get your hopes up!
DeleteYou know I'll be around that day, though!
DeleteOh you just reminded me I have a nice gift voucher for the beauty salon unused from my January birthday. As it's Fall here & these little piggies are just about to be hidden away in thick tights & dress boots, but I'm going to make a pedicure booking RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteMillie xx
haha...one last pedicure before cold weather...what a great idea! I hope you'll join in! xo
Deleteomy god!
ReplyDeleteis that good or bad? lol...
DeleteIs not bad dear. Only I nver paint my
Deletefeet nails (lol) only in my hands but Esperanza paint her nails infeet (lol) guess? black!
and some guys paint his nails betsy?
Deletewell, you should let Esperanza join my party! :)
Deletenot sure too many guys do, but I did find that picture on google. hahaha. And I thought it would be fun to invite them to join in if they wanted to!
I use french pink but in my hands!Of course I cut my nails, put cream and all but not paint ha! I love pink nails !
DeleteShe love black or red (lol) sometimes paint her nails red but at chool they dont let her (lol)
DeleteI love the pink, too. The bottom left photo of the pink toenails with little white flowers is my favorite. :)
DeleteWell, let paint your toe nails pink just this once!
Betsy you are so funny, tomorrow I will show Esperanza all these nails, I wanna see tomorrow what PAT will say? Betsy remember the horrible nails that he showed time ago? wait somethin he will say (lol)
Deleteyes...show her! I want to know her favorite!
DeletePat will say something, of course. lol.
I think will send you these horrible nails you know:)) this is the thing he likes (lol)
Deletewell that won't be allowed. You have to show your own photo, not one found on the internet. You could show Esperanza but he can't show that ugly zombie foot. hahaha.
DeletePat always has his say
DeleteEven if Betsy is slow posting and he is alseep at his bay..haha
we were both late on this site
Deleteyou were asleep and I was dining out that night!
That's why you just set it to go
DeleteWhether or not you are there at your show
Same time every day
Keeps my ocd at bay..haha
Sorry. Did my lateness in posting ruffle your fur?
DeleteI didn't have the thing completely written, Sir.
So couldn't go the pre-scheduling route.
Too bad you had to sit there and pout!
Maybe I should tell you there is no new post tonight
DeleteDon't want my personal schedule to give you any fright!
I want my party invitation to stay up one more day
Have you picked your nail color yet? Will it be blue or grey?
hahaha.
LOL yes you threw off the cat's schedule being so late
DeleteTaking some rhyming off his plate
But I won't pout too much at my sea
For zombie feet will cause all glee
I think they'll go with blue
With maybe some orange too
Oh dear.
DeleteThis is going to be bad, I fear.
But maybe I should be flattered
that you'd disrupt your 35 drafts in blogger
just to join my piggie party.
You should let Cassie do something pretty. ha.
On that day it was only Tarsier Man and Drazin going at it
DeleteSo I'm sure I can postpone their fit..haha
I'll have to think of something all toed up
To make you spit coffee back into your cup..haha
Got the title of the post
Now just need to boast
Miss Priss already had socks and stuff on her feat
Anything else she would not find neat..haha
yeah Drazin can wait
Deletealthough that he will hate.
You shouldn't always speak for Cass
she's a smart little lass
and has opinions of her own
but you just drone and drone. lol.
You could photoshop some color
on her claws to look like no other! haha.
A title already you say
"Oh this will be good!", I say with dismay!
:)
LOL yes it will work well
DeleteFor the tale I have to tell
As an idea has come to pass
And it may just involve Cass
Then at my bay
I will take great delight in causing dismay..haha
causing dismay is just like you
Deletebut that I already knew!
haha yep take pride in doing that
DeleteAt my mat
guess i will get to work on my toes...now what color goes well with blue jeans...smiles.
ReplyDeletelol...anything goes with jeans!
DeleteYes for this almost use only jeans but these summer I used a lot of skirts:) but my favorite is a jeans color!
Deleteand yes a I love the pink nails with flowers too! are beauty!
DeleteI've never done any flowers before...might be kind of fun!
DeleteOk Betsy good night maybe I will dream with nails (lol)
Deletesee you tomorrow! :)
DeleteHey Gloria ~ no new post tonight!
DeleteDidn't want you to keep checking and I never post! ha.
Oh....Betsy
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun!
I will have to figure out what I will do with my toes. 8~)
My daughter gave me some pretty new sandals from Mexico...so I must wear them...at least in my house for now. I have plenty of nail polishes...but may have to see about stickers.
Take care,
Nancy
Also...is there a trick to "grabbing" the nail party button. I want to put it on my blog. 8~)
DeleteOh yes...wear the sandals, too! How fun!
DeleteI think I need to work on that button. Give me some time today!
Love all the images! I am sitting here in my bathrobe as I have a day off (and finally time for blogging) and will do my nails, both hands and feet later today.;) Love all the images! Thanks for the inspiration.;) It will be at least 3 months before it is warm enough to put on sandals here.;)))
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
xoxo
Well, take a picture of your toes today and you'll be all ready to join in! :)
DeleteWhat a cute and fun party idea!! I will just have to join in!
ReplyDeleteHugs
SueAnn
yay...it will be so much fun!
DeleteWow! What a fun theme for a party!! Love these pretty pedicures - how artistic and creative! Take care
ReplyDeletex
Kiity ~ you need to join in...maybe some little noses and cat whiskers on each? ha.
DeleteLOL well I think zombie foot needs some redcorating too
ReplyDeleteMaybe he will come due..lol
Orlin will get his clipped soon
That's the best one can hope for from that loon
Pat prob couldn't even stay in the lines and paint his whole toe
Although he could wrap his feet in a bow..haha
You could do a bow
Deleteon just one toe!
lol.
y told you Betsy. Pat want come to your party with the zombie man(lol) sigh!!
Deletewell you have to admit that zombie man needs a pedicure! lol. Maybe he'll do before and after shots on his blog? haha.
DeleteIf somebody need a pedicure is these ZOMBIE MAN! ja!
DeleteBetsy what lovely picture of Taylor, I dont know he play basketball.
My dad was basketball coach and travel to USA many times all about basketball:)
yes, Taylor has always loved basketball! So fun to learn that about your dad!
DeleteLOL see Gloria was right with Zombie man
DeleteHe may be a toe party fan
A little red bow too
haha that be funny to come due
oh dear.
Deletelol.
Where is the "like" button?
ReplyDeleteNow if I can just come up with something other than ladybugs...
I don't know....the lady bug was pretty cute! Did you see the frog? lol.
DeleteHow do I "take" the button on your sidebar?
DeleteI don't know! I need to work on that!
DeleteThe Feet Feat comes to Fruition.
DeleteI will throw and invitation out there somehow. And now I must be off to practice my nail decorating skills. Not to mention get my feet all softened up in preparation. Where's the lotion?
I found tutorials on how to make the button but I can't do it! haha. I don't know it the steps are outdated with blogger's new setup or what.
DeleteAnyway, you can take the little photo and the link I provided. That way if someone clicks on the photo on your sidebar, it will take them back to this post.
I recommend sitting on the kitchen counter and soaking your feet in the sink. But close the window blinds first. lol.
There are no window blinds... Perhaps a good soak or two in the tub will do the trick. It would be nice tonight anyway. I'm freezing.
DeleteI have made a nice little invitation on my blog, and I will endeavor to pull it up as a reminder next week too.
Oh how fun. Thanks, Martha. I'll come have a look. :)
DeleteI'm cold, too! It's quite cold and windy tonight!
You are sooo creative Betsy! I LOOOOOVE the collage of all the painted piggies...I just had a pedicure a couple of weeks ago, so my toenails are painted purple, but nothing else fancy on them. I'll see if I can be creative before your party. Thanks for the invitation!!
ReplyDeletepurple is perfect! hope you join in!
DeleteThe foot fetishists are going to love this! :) Great idea!
ReplyDeletewell, I want to see your pretty toes....so do plan on joining in dear G. :)
DeleteSounds like fun. My toes are always painted but usually in a plain boring red or pink. I love patterns and colors in my art, but what I wear even in clothing is usually plain solids. My daughter is the one who plays around with her toes and nails. Here in Va. a lot of people have been wearing flip flops almost the whole winter! Have a great weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteI usually paint mine plain, too...but simple and classy is perfect...I hope you join in...and your daughter, too!
DeleteThis sounds like fun!
ReplyDeletejanice...please join the fun. I'd love that!
DeleteOh fun! I could use a good pedicure. I like the lemony toes. I had a friend in college that used to paint perfect little ladybugs on her toes. So cute!!
ReplyDeletelemony? Ooooh..interesting! You should do one on your new little girl there and show yours and hers! How cute would that be!?
DeleteWell I am looking so forward to the party!!!!
ReplyDeleteyay! Me, too!
DeleteReally glad you identified those hairy toes with the palm tree silhouettes as male.
ReplyDeleteFoxy ought to participate and paint his piggies SILVER!
I'll be recovering from a knee replacement no doubt unable to bend the leg at that early date. :(
Cali ~ give yourself a pedi before your surgery! Then you can start at pretty toes during your recovery...and join in the party, too!
DeleteI haven't seen my toes in months! Ekkkk!
DeleteGuess I better join the party.
Great idea to prepare for the Spring shoes.
I think most of our toes are in need of a little attention after the winter! haha. I'd love for you to join in. You could do a mom, daughter, granddaughters entry! :)
DeleteWhat a fun idea!!! I can't wait to see all of the toe eye candy. :)
ReplyDeleteKarah @ thespacebetweenblog
you could do something tropical since you really are on an island! :)
DeleteOh, Girl! You've started something now. What fun! I can't wait to see some of the looks. And you Brian is just crazy enough to do it.
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting you to join in, Magpie...since you're feeling fluffy and all! lol...
DeleteHope you are able to round up all the cats, Dr. Doolittle. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yuji!
DeleteI work an auction tomorrow, too, so it will be a full day. I'll drop them off at the clinic...go to the auction...and then have to pick them up late afternoon. They will be 'asleep' until the next morning. I'm already stressed. ha. Oh dear.
Hey....Betsy
ReplyDeleteI have tried to "grab the party button".
It still won't work for me. 8~(
Any suggestions?
Thanks 8~)
Nancy
I know...sorry. I can't figure out how to make it work! You'll just have to take the button photo and url separately.
DeleteOh what a post.I thought when I glanced at it on my page they were your toes LOL.I think you could say that toes are like beauty.Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ha.I dont personally like feet,but I will try to participate.I dont wear polish in the wintertime,but for summer definately.So thanks for the amount of time allowed LOL.I was gonna ask if i could pic one of those photos and say they were my feet LOL.I guess that wouldnt count,hehe.I will grab your button.
ReplyDeleteYes, I gave you plenty of time! :) (the toes in the button are mine! shhhh! lol)
DeleteI knew the toes in the button was yours (lol) nice!
DeleteNow how did you know that? :)
DeleteYou know, Gloria...you said you never paint your toe nails, only your finger nails? I am just the opposite! I rarely paint my finger nails because it just chips after doing dishes one time. But I do my toes and that lasts several weeks! ha.
DeleteWell happens me when I paint my hands nals always make something, you have to see Esperanza she make draws sometimes in her nails but she cannot the school is so rigid in these things,
DeleteOh..school rules! haha...yes, that does sound strict!
Deleteof course she doesnt like Betsy:)
Deletehaha...well, it's her last year!
Deletethanks God, thanks God:)
DeleteNow this is going to be fun. I'm there! And think it is high time for Butterbean's first professional pedicure trip :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a mom/daughter entry! How fun!
DeleteBetsy I see you party goes so good:)
ReplyDeleteI remember you have a busy,busy, goes all go fine dear:)
Deletewhat lovely picture of Tiger! I was, I have and I will be aterrible day, Ok, :)
ReplyDeleteyou had a terrible day? Aw, I'm sorry!
DeleteYes but Im better (lol) how was your day Betsy?
DeleteMy day was ok. I got home earlier than I expected. :) Need to make dinner soon.
DeleteNice I have to do so me things still, sometimes Saturday are hard:( see you later
Deleteok...see you later!
Deleteforget to say you I made anew post, but see when you have time dear!
DeleteOK! You know I would love to! :)
DeleteHopefully I will have some pretty sandy toes from our Florida trip!
ReplyDeleteyep...you can show off your tan tootsies! :)
DeleteAs you know, I just had mine done a little over a week ago. Professional pedicures seem to last for weeks, so I don't know if I'll be ready to do them again by the 26th. We'll see.
ReplyDeletethe lemon slices are a riot, or are they orange?
ReplyDeletesome fun toes there indeed! :) BUT Mike' make me want to puke. Guys can;t do toes. Only mine are good. lol
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful idea!! I love it so much :) It's so unique :)
