Just before my mom passed away, my sisters and I offered to paint her nails. Mom was already non verbal and very near the end of her days on earth. One sister suggested hot pink, my other sister suggested Essie Ballet Slippers. The last word my mom ever spoke was "Ballet Slipper". Unfortunately, my Mother went to be with God a few hours later and we didn't have an opportunity to paint them. We brought the paint to the funeral home a few days later, determined to fufill her last request. When we went to the casket intending to paint them, nail polish bottle in hand, the funeral home had already painted them; in Ballet Slipper!!! We even had to ask to confirm and it was the exact same brand and the exact same color. Thank you Suzie for bringing me this surprise reminder of my mom. God works in mysterious ways.

That is a professional nail polish she used today in this video. Essie is well-known and wins Awards still to this day from the day they popped onto the market decades ago. It's just now recently in about the last decade it's been available more so to the general public than ever before. It's also a very affordable durable professional nail polish.

I actually gasped when you put the box on the table. But then you threw it behind you, and I was at peace. So love this one. Shows us how to use regular product, found almost anywhere. I can hear Cristine in my head "dab, dab, dab, make your nails look fab" lol. I use the square bottom of the sponge, then I have the whole length of the sponge to hold onto, because I have big fat fingers 😂.

Ombrés are one of my favourite things to do! Just a quick tip, if you use the top of the sponge instead of the side, you can cut the part with the polish out, and use the same one again as it will be nice and fresh!

Non-latex makeup sponges have smaller bubbles/holes so they leave less sponge markings in the gradient. Just did a dark purple/magenta gradient and got soooo many compliments in the office! If you have short nails with no tips grab liquid latex for your cuticles way less cleanup.

I'm sure the Queen is a lovely person, but she's really demanding about what others wear. Did you know that none of the women in the Royal Family are allowed to wear nail art, or polish darker than their skin? Only nude colors, and no nail art of any kind! No stones, no stamping, no hand painted art, nothing! I think they can get away with a French manicure or French fade look if they are willing to stick their necks out a little bit. I'm sure they are risking a dressing down if the Queen notices, however. I would *hate* the nail polish rules if I were a member of the Royal Family.
