Waiting for a Monsoon??? Glitter Toes...by Me!

What is with the umbrellas on a scorching hot, barely cloudy day? My girls so desperately want a monsoon to hit, they get these darn umbrellas out every time they go outside. Mesa had a micro-burst a couple miles from my house last night, but it totally skipped over us. We saw some lightning, but that was it. Everyday my little weather girl (Brooklyn) either asks me what the weather is supposed to be, or she tells me what she has seen on the news. When Brooklyn was preparing for her tonsillectomy, she told me she would be fine being in her bed for a few days because she couldn't wait to just sit in her bed and watch the lightning and the rain from her window. Those darn weather men had predicted a major monsoon Sat. night and Sunday. She was so disappointed to just see a bright hot sun and blue sky out her window...maybe that is why I can't keep her in bed. So I have figured out how to do "glitter toes". At the salon, the lady used acrylic and glitter. When I was at the scrapbook store last week, I picked up some really fine glitter called "sugar coating". Start the process with a very thick layer of base coat quickly followed by pouring a lot of glitter on top. Then shake off the excess and let dry. Then apply two thick coats of top coat and let dry again. It certainly doesn't last as long as the acrylic version, but it looks just as cute and you can change it yourself.
