Vintage Ornaments

I've got a big soft spot for vintage ornaments.

The classic designs, painted glass, muted colors, and the memories attached to them, really make adore these gems.

My grandmother, being 93, has some incredibly gorgeous ornaments from the 1940's 

This design is inspired by one particular set that has always 

captured my attention ever since I was a child. 

I'd sit in front of her tree and admire the lights bouncing 

off these beautiful works of art.

Alas, my grandmother in her older years has since stopped 

with her holiday decorations, so I don't have a photo of them, 

but I know they are packed away safely, and 

one day perhaps I'll convince her to give them to me.

Until then, I tried to capture the look in this design.

Broadway Nails Holiday Giveaway***CLOSED***

I'm sure you've passed by a Broadway Nail display in the store 

on many occasions and thought, 

I wonder if those are any good?

Well, I am an expert in this area, 

as I have been using them for years and 

I am a true fan of their nails and I can tell you, 

they are VERY good indeed!

The infamous "press-on" nail has come a long way baby!

Broadway Nails is always improving their products and coming out with new and fun designs.

So this is what you get in a typical case of Broadway nails:

24 pre-designed nails or varying sizes for the perfect fit

a tube of nail glue

an orange stick

and for certain sets, a small nail file

These sets run anywhere from 

$4 - $7 depending on your area and sales

The instructions are simple, and printed on the back of every box

Prep your nails first, taking a cotton ball dipped in acetone polish remover to get rid of any dirt and excess oils.

Next, using the provided orange stick, push back cuticles

Select the correct size nails for each finger

Apply a drop of provided nail glue to the

nail bed and to the back of the false nail

Starting at the cuticle, slide nail into place, 

pressing and holding down for 5 seconds to 

eliminate bubbles and to ensure a good bond

Continue with the remainder of the nails, and you are done!

This literally takes less than 10 minutes!

I really adore the Fast French sets the best, 

when you are in a pinch, and want nice looking nails, 

but just don't have the time to get them done or do them yourself,

these are the best way to go.

Here's just a quick look at me applying the Fast French nails

Opening the box, and preparing my station

Selecting the correct nails for each finger.

*Note*

Some designs, including the French manicure 

had numbered tabs, that not only help you identify 

which number you need for each nail, but also allow

for easy grip when applying.

Adding each nails following the instructions.

Snapping off the tabs and using the provided 

nail file for any rough edges.

All Done!

They call it the 10 minute manicure, but it was even less than that!

Usually, I'd never rave and encourage any of my readers 

to try a product, but I really believe in Broadway Nails!

I always have them in the house, 

when ever I don't have the time to do one of my own designs,

I grab for a box of these.

Quality - Price - Speed

Really is there any more to ask for?
