Red, Green & White Festive Stamping

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

Today we have some nail stamping that was inspired by Colores de Carol I seen these and loved everything about them, so I just had to try it for myself :D

Sadly I didn't pay enough attention to the way I was placing the colours, so mine aren't nearly as pretty as hers!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Rimmel - French White

Stamping Colours: Essence - Kiss On Top Of The Rock & Manhattan - Green Piece

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM306

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Hope you're all having a good day. I'll be in the middle of a mad day at work while this posts - Away day, buffet, and Kerry's mad winter quiz.. Bound to be a good day :D

Leafy - We Stamp On Sunday

Hi all! Happy Sunday! I'm having such a lazy weekend, I really need to edit some photos so I've got something ready for this weeks posts but I just can't concentrate :P

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was for a Leafy manicure. This is kind of what I was planning from the beginning, but I wish I had used a different leaf image, and maybe chosen different stamping polishes too.

Edit: I used this method for the multi coloured stamping. To see other times I've used this method click here.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Essie - Ballet Slippers

Stamping Colours: Manhattan - Lemonade

Manhattan - Green Piece

Essence - Kiss On Top Of The Rock

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 05

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds - Clear

Here's some swatches of the base colour, and what I used:

 

Hope you all liked them :] I think my favourite nail is my ring finger.

Spring Challenge - Day 9 - Kites

Today's Spring Challenge is Kites. I'm a little bit disappointed by how these turned out, but since the sun has been playing hide and seek for the last week or so I can't be bothered to re-do them :P

Dont' forget to check out Esme's Blog to see what she came up with today :]

Base Coat: CND - Stcikey
Base Colour: George - Cloudless Sky
Stamping Colour: NYC - Nail Glossies - 215
Image Plate: Konad M79
Kite: Barry M - Bright Red, Lemon Ice Cream, Red Glitter
Tree: Manhattan - Green Piece
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

 

Then I decided to add more NYC - 215 to the clouds with a dotting tool, as the stamp didn't show up too well.

 I figure I should've made the kite smaller too.

Next up is rain! :]

Manhattan Green Piece, Tape Mani, Matte, & Flakieess!!!

I was taking photos of a swatch of Green Piece when I made plans for the next day, so this mani was just a super quick idea so I didn't have plain boring nails xD I Did two coats of Nubar over the green, and then taped off the area to paint black. BYS - Black Satin is the only black I use for Konad/Bundle Monster, and the only black I use for 1 coat opacity. Love iiit.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Manhattan - Green Piece
Flakies: Nubar - 2010 - G188
Black: BYS Black Satin
Matte: Rimmel Pro - Matte Finish

I do wish i'd done the black a little skinnier, so they were more like snake eyes, but I like the look in the end.

Two Coats Manhattan - Green Piece

And here's the look In gloss.
