Orange to Green Gradient & The Polish Bar Satellite Glitter

Happy Saturday!

This is a scheduled post as I'll be chilling with my family for the next week and a bit.

Another odd combination today, but I got it in my head that an orange to green gradient would look awesome. It didn't, it looked like I had carrot fingers, the only saving grace was the glitter. I think the Polish Bar - Satellite is literally so amazing it could even save carrot fingers!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Kiko - Melon - 356, Cutex - Sweet Pea

Glitter: The Polish Bar - Satellite

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

I was wanting to stamp over this combination but I'd had a busy week at work and didn't get the chance to until they had already chipped.

Over Orange - We Stamp On Sundays

Happy Sunday :]

Bit of a late post today but it seems like my day's just slipped away from me, and I've been on slow motion for a few hours now.

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to stamp over orange. As soon as orange was decided as the winner I knew I wanted to do tiger nails as it's been a bit of a while.

I started with a base of Kiko - Melon and used the rough side of a kitchen sponge to dab on Essence Colour3 - Dancing In The Street and Alessandro - Pomegranate. Pomegranate looks a little pinker than it is when it's next to the other two colours. Then I added a top coat, and stamped with Bundle Monster BM223 with BYS - Black Satin and added another top coat.

Base Coat: OPI - Nail Envy

Base Colour: Kiko - Melon

Other Colours: Alessandro - Pomegranate & Essence Colour3 - Dancing In The Street

Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

And here's some pictures of the base before stamping. I only remembered to take photos after stamping one nail!

And here's what I used:

Hope you've all had a good weekend, mine has gone far too quick!

St. Patricks Day - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi alllllllll! Happy Sunday.

Hopefully by the time this posts I shall be painting my wardrobes and finishing the decorating that I started 2 years ago. The likelihood of that actually being the case however, is kind of zero :P I'm so lazy.

This week's Adventures In Stamping Challenge was for St. Patricks Day. When I heard this was the case I knew the kind of thing I wanted to do immediately, which was a pleasant change!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Barry M - Lychee

Other Colours: Yes Love - K011, and Kiko - Melon

Flakies: Golden Rose, Scale Effects - 03

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Bundle Monster - BM206

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's the splodged on colours before stamping:

Crazy Neons - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, been a little MIA this week again, but I've just been shattered!

This week's stamping challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use crazy bright neons. I decided to do a "plastic bag" smooshie style base for these, and then stamp over with black.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Rimmel - French White

Neon Colours: Kiko - 356 - Melon

Flor Mar - N007

Alessandro - Pomegranate

Clubworks - Pink

Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's my base, before a top coat, and the method used didn't really work, so I filled in some of the whiter spots with a cotton bud with polish on.

 Here's what I used:

Hope you've had a good weekend! I should be getting ready to head out to stuff my face with yummy food, probably Wagamamas, nomnomom noodles! And then to go watch Wreck-It Ralph :D

Kiko - 356 - Melon & Black Smiley Stamping With New Bundle Monster

Hi all, happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is good, I'm hopefully gonna be feeling better (this is a scheduled post as I'll be at work) Though I know these cheered me up the day I wore them :D

Kiko -356 aka Melon is such a creamy looking orange, with a great formula, and clean up was such a breeze, no staining at all. I loved wearing this, but I almost felt like it was a bit too bright for me, but maybe it was the bold stamping that made it a bit over the top for day time/office nails.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Kiko - 356 - Melon

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM305

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds - Clear

 

I had problems with the opacity of the full nail images, and the thin image I had to re-do my nails a couple of times, and ended up settling for how they came out when it started getting a bit late.

Here's some swatch shots of this pretty lady!

Hope you like them :]
