Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction, Glitter & Dogtooth Stamping

Hi all.

Yay Sunday, the day of lazing :]

Today I have a manicure that I did back in November (for November 5th).  I only have the one photo, but I really liked this mani, I love stamping over chunky glitter.

Burnt Orange, Silver & Black Dogtooth

Hi all

Bit of an odd combo today, after doing these nails that I loves so, so much, I wanted to do another version, and basically everything went a little bit funny :P

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: W7 - Silver Suede & Cliché - Desserto

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Konad M63

Glitter: H&M - Silver Frost

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails 

I started with two coats of Silver Suede, stamped with BYS black satin, taped half of it off and did a coat of Cliché - Desserto, after that was dry I added a stripe of glitter and a top coat.

I definitely preferred my original purple green combination, so these only lasted two days on me before I was picking at them.

Rimmel Hard Edged - Flakies & Stamping

So today we have a polish that's very gorgeous. This is actually one of the colours in my giveaway too.

This polish is so gorgeous, It's a dark brown with highly visible purple shimmer, that shifts to gold shimmer in certain lights, there's also some green shimmer lurking about but it's hard to photograph.

Such a gorgeous colour! & two amazingly perfect coats. The formula on this was so so nice to work with.

The next day though I couldn't help but put some flakies on and I felt like stamping too ^_^

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Rimmel - Hard Edged
Flakies: Nubar -2010 G188
Stamping Colour: W7 - Gold Mirror

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

 

 

 The stamping did look a lot more gold in real life. I'm loving the layering combo on this one, Hard Edged does something special for Nubar flakies. Nomnom!

Miss Sporty Gold Backstage And Electric Beige Dogtooth

So the other week the boyfriend Scottius bought me some Miss Sporty polishes. I've been on the lookout for the perfect gold for some time now, especially for stamping. But everything I seem to find, Is too cool of a gold to stamp on warm colours and still look true gold. However with all that said done Scott was also on the hunt for me, maybe to shut me up :P I don't know, but after some info from Helly About Electric Beige from Miss Sporty, we thought we'd give it a try. And there just happened to be a 3 for 2 offer on xD

Here I'll be showing the beige and the gold, the other colour I have is a total dupe for P2 - Passion, Which will be another post once i've swatched it.

Three thin coats of Gold Backstage - Just to cover VNL

Miss Sporty - Electric Beige (2 coats) Excuse the dry hands ;(

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - Gold Backstage
Stamp Colour: Miss Sporty - Electric Beige
Plate: Konad M63
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I only stamped the beige on the gold to see how well it would show up, I was certain that it would be difficult to see in person, and even my camera had a little bit of a struggle capturing it at first. All I can say is Electric Beige Is so nice to stamp with, the formula is incredible, it dries almost like a true chrome, but it has a glossier texture, and doesn't ruin as fast while stamping. I haven't yet tried Gold Backstage for stamping, but I imagine it will be a lot like H&M - Wa Wa Woom, although Gold Backstage is a lot, a lot warmer. 

Maybe I Should do a comparison of all the golds I own one day xD

Hope everyone's having a nice Saturday :]

Raspberry Peach Swirl

I'm back home! Yay! I can't wait for Friday to roll around so I can spend the whole day doing my nails. While I was house sitting I was getting stuck for ideas mainly because of having such a small amount of polishes with me! That and I never really had a chance to do my nails. But I have some ideas rolling around in my head now :]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Models Own - Golden Peach
Stamp Colour: N.Y.C - Foil'er Up
Plate: Konad - M63
Top Coat: Rimmel

Golden Peach is a great colour, and the frosty gold to it cools it down in a way, however I was a little bit saddened by how sheer it was, and it gave me a slight case of lobster hands. Foil'er Up is such an amazing coloured chrome though! So glad to have it in my stamping collection now ^_^ Apologies for the smeared stamp, I've ran out of my preferred top coat ( I scraped the walls of the bottle for the mani before this) and I used a Rimmel one, 10 day wear I think.

Also please excuse the state of my cuticles, and the fact the swatch is pre clean up. I seriously need a cuticle oil rather than lotion. Anyone have any recommendations?
