Inspired By A Book - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all! Bit of a late one today, but I've been enjoying films and chilling today ^-^

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping is to create a manicure inspired by a book you're currently reading. So as I'm not a massive reader I nabbed the book my mother's currently reading. I'm the kind of girl who will slap on some SPF and lay out on the grass in the summer with shades on and a book to read, with a kittie by my side (usually Cheese) in the shade I'm creating. So while I'm currently hoping for snow, I've already started a list of which books I wanna read this summer :D

So this manicure is inspired by Valley Of Silence by Nora Roberts, I was in a rush to do these, and haven't even read the blurb so I have no idea whether I should recommend or not!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Rimmel - White

Glitter: Barry M - Pink Sapphire Glitter

Stamping Colour: Miss Sporty - Fatal Plum

Image Plates: Cheeky CH50, Bundle Monster BM05

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanved Hard As Nails

Here's what I used:

I added the glitter as it seemed like there were too many white gaps. Also, notice the fact I have the summer Cheeky plates, I'm so excited, I haven't tried them all yet, but there's so much I want to do, so expect to see a lot a lot of Cheeky stamping soon once I've checked they all work!

Hope you've all had a good weekend, mine has gone far too quickly, and I haven't had a chance to remotely play catch up with my reading list! Always tomorrow though ;]

Spring Challenge - Day 7 - Butterflies

Today's Spring challenge is butterfly nails! I was really excited about doing these, and knew what I was going to do. Last year some time (May or June I think) I started seeing these style nails all over Tumblr, and I was dying to try them. I have no idea why It's taken me til now to try these out.

Don't forget to check out Esme's Blog to see her buttflies :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Manhattan - Lemonade (my favourite yellow evvaaah)

I always have isues with spacing dots and such. I just feel like I ruined the whole mani with these dots =/

Pre-dots :]

This is the picture I took last year that I was going to use as inspiration.

Niece's Nails & My Half Moon Mani With Nailene Stickers

I've been meaning to do a post about this for a while now. Somewhere around the start of August my brother came over with his girlfriend and her daughter, and when she saw me doing my nails, you could tell she wanted hers done too. She picked the polish and the image plate, which was a plate full of tips, but she has teeny tiny nails so the whole thing covered her nails. Painting tiny nails isn't so easy! Not my best handy work.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: BYS - Voodoo Violet (1 Coat)

And on to my nails! She sent me some Nailene stickers for my birthday. Which I got after I was done house sitting, so I wanted to do a mani with them :]
