 This is OPI "DS Jewel" Designer Series"!

 SEE? :o)

It was 'weird' going on. It was thin and would leave bald spots. LOL!

 I had to do three coats. It is a real cool color!

 This is Bundle Monster's plate BM21 with Konad Black Polish.
 Gosh that black can be messy. Ha Ha Ha!

I think it turned out pretty cool.

My husband and I went to Gertrude Hawk Chocolates and got some goodies. YUMMY~!

BACK to the Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge! Recipe 23!

YES, I'm back into doing the BBA Chanllenge.
Nicole the arthur and creator of the site http://pinchmysalt.com/ had thoughts of baking every single recipe "in order" in Peter Reinhart’s outstanding book, The Bread Baker’s Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread.

This was back in MAY 2009!
She thought she would ask the simple question if anyone cared to join her.
I was the 27th one to join her in her one year endeavor. :)
http://pinchmysalt.com/the-bba-challenge/
I think there were WAY over 150 that took on the challenge. :)
I did 22 of the 43 recipes and got into Harley riding and other hobbies and left it on the 'back burner'. LOL!
Well it is fall and I'm getting back to baking.
This is recipe 23 called Pane Siciliano.
I have a habit of trying to incorporate "S's" into my loafs and this one was easy because it is shaped into an "S". My intitals actually are S. S. :o)


The recipe said to do 3 but I did 2 big ones.

I love the chewy crust and the texture and taste of the crumb. YUMMY!

Here are all of my doings for the BBA challenge so far:

Sinful Colors "HD Nails" using Konad Plate M66 and Konad White Polish!

I planned on using my new Sinful Colors "HD Nails" polish today and saw Beautopia's blog post here: http://beautopia.onsugar.com/Simple-Bamboo-Nail-Art-Design-OPI-Konad-10945311 and decided to use the same plate she did. 
This polish was 4 coats and a tad thin. 

It is a pretty polish but it had a tendency to leave bald spots/drag spots. :)

This is Konad plate M66.

Rather pretty eh? 

These are the supplies I used.
Till next time,
Susie

OPI "Need Sunglasses?" with Plate H14 and Konad White :o)

I'm "LOVING" this manicure. This is OPI's "Need Sunglasses?" from the Bright Lites Mini Collection that Suzann (the gal in town I help out a bit) bought me.
:o)

Pretty eh?
It was four coats though. The formula is a little thin.

It took me a while to figure out what color to stamp with. I thought of orange, black, blue and red but decided on white and I'm loving it.

The plate I used was Plate H14 that Mrsrexy sent me! 
She sent me 3 plates and some rhinestones. :) COOL eh?
