Let's make something straight - I am as old fashioned as they come, and even though I might not appreciate some rules my parents instill on me at the time, as I am getting older (and better - just like a wine), I am beginning to see the wisdom of those...
There is something special in waiting for that 'one' - someone special that you will want to spend the life together, without the all of the baggage collected in the years living with people you should not be together to begin with?
There is also something special in anticipation of the date, getting ready, and getting to know someone slowly, going home to your own respective bed and trying to think of something you can do for each other next time you meet...
The art of dating seem to be lost. I did date, and some relationships - if you can even call them that - just dissolved before they even started - they were not meant to be or to last, but they surely made it easier to know when someone worth fighting for comes along. It also made easier to differentiate between lust and someone you want to give the keys to your heart...
In this fast paced life style it appears that everyone want everything instantly. Speed dating? Not for everyone - any one can seem to be nice or can be nice for the first 15 minutes... How is that a guarantee they will stay like that?
It is almost like we are not looking for the keys to someone heart, but just want quick effect of the potion, regardless if whatever we got is real or not...
I am single, not by choice - and yet, I do not mind being this way at the moment. I do not need someone to complete me - I am complete, and if I will get into the relationship, you have to be prepared to be take it all - good and bad, they are all parts of me. Same is for me. If I fallen in love with real you, then I should not try to change every single thing about you. We all have our own quirks, and while we can tone some of them down out of respect and love, completely changing ourselves to fit some other person ideal is not an option. That would not be me, and loosing your own identity is the worse thing you can do to yourself, and to the new relationship...
You don't need to agree with me, just some Monday musings of yours truly.
Base for this manicure is Different Dimension - Mystery Prototype 100.
Loving the magnetic stripe that is color shifting form the emerald-teal-violet-gold.
I applied Moyra - Aqua Top coat to preserve the magnetic effect of this polish. This is water based top coat, and it does not reactivate bottom layers even though you may add more over. I wanted to use the magnet in the different direction for the stamping, so I needed this layer to stay the way it is. Only thing I do not like is that it leaves cloudy film, and I am yet to get around that effect...
Images are on Maniology - BM-S175 stamping plate.
Images are picked up using Winstonia - Silver Bullet, then colored in using magnetic polishes.
I applied magnet after I applied the top coat.
I was absolutely in love with this look.
Hope I did not tired you out with the endless intro. LOL! Some days certain ideas, or issues or just musings do not want to let go, so this time I shared one with you, and now I may be able to sleep in peace.
Have a wonderful day.
Cheers!
