Betsy's Mani-Pedi Party #2 And A Giveaway!



So the Essie nail polish with the cute name ended up to be a lot of fun!
Of course the manicure only lasted a day. 
 Did dishes once and three were chipped.  ha ha
 But the pedicure still looks great! 
 I like it better on my toes than on my fingers anyway. :)


Adding the white stickers was the finishing touch for them to
 look like Wedgewood China. 
 And I love the blue color even more than I thought I would! 


Can't wait to send this little giveaway to one of the lucky participants!


Party is open! 
Link up any time between now and midnight, Monday, June 18th, EST.



If you've recently given yourself a manicure or a pedicure
 or had the luxury of having a professional one, snap a photo,
 post it on your blog, and link up below! 
 That's all you have to do to join in and be entered in the giveaway. 
 And it would be nice if you visited the others that join in and leave
 them a comment, too.  Getting to know other bloggers 
and having some fun is really what this is all about!

Now I can't wait to give you a visit, too! 
Last time Pat and The Silver Fox entered and really stole the show!
Men are welcome again, too...theirs may not be as pretty, but it's 
all in fun anyway!  And good for them for being brave enough to have 
some fun with the rest of us!  

The giveaway winner will be randomly selected and announced here
on Wednesday morning!  And men, if you win, I'll give you the option
of having some of my famous cookies sent instead. :)

Make sure you link up using the url to your pedicure post and not just your blog address.

“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring
 and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances.
 I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.”

  4. I LOVE your wedgewood blue polish and the cute little decorations! This is such a great fun summer party! Blue is my favorite color. I was just looking at blue nail polish online today. I like OPI polish because it stays on so long. The blue that I was looking at was called 'Yodel me on my cell' : ) Although, I really like the blue in your giveaway...looks like 'Tiffany' blue. The color I used on mine above is OPI 'Fabfuschia'.
    The quote by Nadine Stair is the perfect motto fo summer and for life : )

    1. You just made my day joining in! :) You're so sweet! I'll have to look for OPI..thanks for the tip. I can't find a polish that will endure a day of housekeeping! Now this Rabfuschia is SO lovely! I would wear that in a second! And how cute are your feet! :)

  12. Pfft still all pale to zombie feet
    Those are the real eye treat..lol
    Had an idea but arm kept me away
    So next time the cat will give it a go at your bay
    All the pretty toes
    Surely won't cause woes

    Replies
    1. You need to put that arm in a sling
      and maybe that will stop the sting!
      Then you can decorate your toes
      without it causing you woes!
      lol...

      Delete
    2. Pfft I have to use the thing for work
      So the sling isn't a perk
      Damn thing will go away soon I hope

  19. I love that blue. Any time I wear a pretty blue or green on my nails my sister gives me grief about having a fungus. She's still a brat over 40 years later.

    I did my nails tips with a pretty rose pink and added a clear top coat. That was last week and already I need to do them again. My feet? ugh. Clipped and naked (which I hate). They're next.

    I love Wanda's toes!
