Pink Wednesday...Revlon Bubble and Lynnderella Heart Strings

Good Morning,

I'm finally getting around to participate in Pink Wednesday.  Today, I choose to Wear Revlon Bubble . Indeed it's a bubble gum pink creme that covered well with 2 coats.  Afterwards I applied two coats of Lynnderella Heart Strings which I think goes well together with Bubble.  Heart Strings is in a tinted pink base and is packed full of pink and red bar glitter/string glitter.  I applied it by pushing the brush around to go on evenly.  Used two coats. Sorry my pictures don't give this combo justice.

History

The Los Angeles Clippers first came into existence as the Buffalo Braves in 1970. The Braves were one of three expansion franchises to join the NBA that year (the Portland Trail Blazers and the Cleveland Cavaliers were the other two), as the league dueled with the upstart American Basketball Association for prominence. After struggling through their first few campaigns, the Braves soon found playoff success under the coaching of the legendary Dr. Jack Ramsay and high scoring Bob McAdoo. Unfortunately, drastic changes in the organization's ownership during the 1976-77 season threw the team into a tailspin, resulting in back-to-back losing seasons.

History

The Spurs are one of four former American Basketball Association teams to remain intact in the NBA after the 1976 ABA-NBA merger and is the only former ABA team to have won an NBA championship. The Spurs have won four NBA championships, more than any NBA franchise except the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls. The Spurs' perfect record in NBA Finals series is surpassed only by the Chicago Bulls, who have won six without a loss;^[1] the Bulls and Spurs are the only two teams to maintain perfect records through multiple Finals series. As of July 2009, the Spurs rank third among active franchises for the highest winning percentage in NBA history; they have only missed the playoffs 4 times as an NBA franchise.
In their 33 NBA seasons since 1976–1977, the Spurs have captured 17 division titles, which gives the Spurs the most division titles in the NBA during that 33-year span (the Lakers are second with 16). They have made the playoffs in 19 of the last 20 seasons, and have not missed the playoffs in the 14 seasons since Tim Duncan was drafted by the Spurs in 1997.

Blue Monday, Milani Sail Away

Good Morning,

Milani new 2012 Spring Collection.  I just had to pickup a few.  Of course I grabbed both blues and a few more.  Today, I am wearing Sail Away a navy blue packed full of blue and silver shimmers.  It's so saturated that I only needed one coat!  I do have on a base coat and ridge filler.  Easy to apply.  Milani is wowing me with their one coaters! I haven't seen Chocolate Sprinkles yet...must find it *-*

Did you pick up any?  Which ones?

Basketball and Nail Polish: 30 Day NBA Challenge Day 2 *THUNDER*

Today's challenge:  Oklahoma Thunder

First time doing a ruffian (I think) at least a triple one.   Hope you like it. Most colors used are Lechat Dare To Wear from the  Back To Basics Collection.

White: Lechat Dare To Wear Rue St. Vincent

Blue: Lechat Dare To Wear Ocean View

Yellow: Lechat Dare To Wear Yellow Twist

Orange: Essence Colour & Go Get The Fever, Konad Plate M52

Starting in the league
The first official regular season match of the Oklahoma City Thunder was against the Milwaukee Bucks. They lost that match 87-98. In November 2, 2008, the Oklahoma City Thunder got their first win by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves. With their win, the Oklahoma City Thunder had a 1-3 record. However, they had a very disappointing first month as they went 1-13. They would then fire head coach P.J. Carlesimo and replaced him with Scott Brooks. The Oklahoma City Thunder was among the weakest clubs in the Western Conference. They can be found at the bottom part of the standings. This may be due to having players which are still under development.
