My Ripponburn ladies 1:15

Gladys

This week was my first week back – after the Xmas break – at Ripponburn for 2015!! Start of my third year there. Such beautiful weather that I even ended up walking there.  Only eight ladies this visit, a couple are not feeling well and some had family visiting.

Janice

I had been thinking about Janice and how best to offer her choices. She can't move her hands much, but then seems to always have them in a "clasp". I decided to use OPI liquid sand or Zoya Pixie Dust polishes as 1) these dry super quickly so no smudging and 2) leave it without top coat (even better!). So just really base coat and a coat of polish. That is manageable.

Thelma

Jenny

Thelma and Jenny opted for a bright pink. Thelma was first again, as she had to get back on oxygen. I did Jenny relatively quickly as well. She always seems to be last, not fair.

Margaret

Lilian

Margaret and Lilian went more towards orange: Margaret loved her soft pastel orange, and Lilian wanted something bright and this coral is one of my personal favs!

Joan

Ina

Joan was allowed pink - 'tis a new year and all!! And Ina chose her fav magnetic from Layla. This time I also remembered to bring the Ridge Filler base coat. Can't do it every time but did remember this time.

This brings me to Gladys, who was last this time. Since I only had the eight and still heaps of time till the dinner gong, Gladys got dotted flowers on her nails! The base was a really pretty sky blue, so her nails looked like little meadows. Shocker, but NO glitter at all today! That is definitely a first! Back in two weeks.

Mani breakdown:
all had Seche Clear as a base, two coats of base polish and Out the Door as a top coat. After pics then an almond oil cuticle wash.
