Let's Go Angels! (again...)

Hello, hello!

It is that time of the year again, when we take the summer camp kiddos to an Angel's game :)  Let me preface by saying I'm really not a fan of baseball.  Never have been.  But growing up in Orange County, my father took me to games all of the time.  I never root for any other team so I guess that makes me a "fan".  But seriously... baseball bores me to tears.


Angel's Baseball, logo, glitter, red white and blue, Julep, America, Fireworks, nails, nail art, nail design, mani
  Colors Used: Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby, Daisy Nail Lacquer - White Diamond, Sally Hansen - Butter-fly Stroke, Julep - Mystery Blue, America and Fireworks

I decided to go old school with the Angel's "A".  The team has always had some sort of "A" as their logo and when I stumbled upon this image online, I knew I had to do it.  Yes, in answer to your question, it was a pain in the buttocks to do.  That's why my right hand got white polka dots instead lol...


I swear my middle finger nail is a navy blue (very navy).  I recieved it in a Julep Mystery Box last year and it did not have a name.  I just call it Mystery Blue.  I also used both of their 4th of July glitters in this mani.  Fireworks is on my index finger while America is on my thumb and pinky.  This mani is leaps and bounds better than last year's (yikes!).


See the smudgey on my "A"?  Stupid topcoat...

From what I hear, the team isn't doing do hot this season.  I'm sure we'll still have a good time tho *crosses fingers*.  Do any of you have a love for baseball?  Any particular team you root for?

Until next time!

Let's Go Angels!

Good morning, friends!

I have a fun little mani to share with you today.  I'm a little short on time so I'm just going to get right to it lol.

Today we are taking the kiddos at work to the Angels vs Royals game, this being the inspiration for my mani.  I must confess that I really don't care for baseball :\  It is one of my least favorite sports, but I've been going to games on and off ever since I was 5 yrs old (go figure!).  I remember the very fist game I went to with my Dad and so, for nostalgic reasons, I enjoy going to the stadium.  Eating the nachos are my favorite part :)

The Angels have a very long/complicated history (many owners, city changes, name changes, etc.). I feel like the team colors change every other year and it's really quite irritating lol.  So, I went with colors that I remember wearing as a child, when I would go to games...

 Colors Used: China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow, Sally Hansen - White On, Sinful Colors - Midnight Blue, Sinful Colors - I Have No Reception (glitter), O.P.I. - Skull & Glossbones

I took these photos in the car while my honey and I were out doing some shopping (like I said yesterday, I just don't have enough hours in a day!  Lol.)  In the following two photo's, I was playing with depth perception...



I like this photo because of the sunlight that's peeking through ;)  Angels logo, blue sparkly-ness, a baseball, and pinstripe.  (The thumb has a smattering of dots just 'cause :P)


And the last one...
Angels, baseball, halo, blue, red, yellow, polka dots, stripes, nail art, nail design, mani

Here's hoping I'm not bored to tears!  Lol, have a lovely day ladies :)

Until next time!
