Nautical Mix Up - Double Stamp - We Stamp On Sundays

Hey all :]

Happy Tuesday woooo! Not really woo, but I've only got a four day week so i'm looking forward to that.

I almost feel like these shouldn't really have been posted as part of the Double Stamping challenge by Adventures in stamping. Again my stamping is so subtle it almost totally fails!

The other part of the challenge was to do something called shadow stamping, where you stamp in one colour, and stamp in another over slightly to the side to create a shadow effect. I did try this, with each different image but it just really didn't work out!

That being said I really love these, I'm going to be so sad when they start to chip. I also feel like it's been quite a while since I've done a really lovely mix up/pick n mix/skittles mani.

Here's the glitter in the shade.. this is in the shade people!!!

Below are 5 little vials of glitter that my friend gave me, so far I've done a full mani with the blue glitter and freaking loved it, and for this mani I used the second from the left.

Here's what I used:

And that's from me until next time!

Matte Aqua & Gold Nautical

Hi all, happy Wednesday yayy, half way though the week already :]

Quick post today, cause I've been busy this past weekend, and also extremely lazy when I wasn't busy opting to laze in the sun and listen to music, and even take some hangover naps!

The base is W7 - Aqua Suede is a gorgeous matte polish from the same line as Night Suede. There's a few other colours from this range, a purple, gold, silver and bronze I believe. I'm tempted to try them all as the formula is pretty amazeballs. If I don't try the rest I'm definitely going to try and pick up another Night Suede, as I've been using this on everything.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: W7 - Aqua Suede

Stamping Colour: Barry M - Gold Foil

Image Plate: Cheeky CH49

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

And here's some swatchy swatches

 These are two coats, no top coat, the flash washes out the colour a little.

Born Pretty Store Review

Hi all, recently I was contacted again by the Born Pretty Store to see if i'd want to try out any of their newer products, I chose two plates and a polish to try out, and today I have some swatches to show you.

For those of you who aren't aware of Born Pretty Store, they sell a massive range of nail art products, and many other items.

Here's what I asked to try:

Below is two coats of the BK Polish in number 1

Please excuse the dings and scratches, totally my fault. This is without any clean up at all. And honestly this was totally opaque in one coat I only added the second as it feels odd only wearing one coat.

Image plate QA5  Above is stamped in Konad polish, below is In BK #1 Sweet Candy Fast Dry

As you can see most of the images transferred really well, and there were only two images on this plate I actually had problems with. The smallest of the bow image below, and the two pointy bows above that should have stitching detail. Other than that I'm really happy with this plate and I'm looking forward to using the bow images especially.

 And last but not least; the angry birds image plate QA17.

These all stamped amazingly well, but they're larger than I expected so I'm yet to see what they look like on my small-ish nails.

So there you have it. I'll have some mani's coming up with one of the bow images shortly. If you're interested in anything from the Born Pretty Store, don't forget to use my coupon code DS5X31 for 10% off your order.

Hi all, hope you've all had a good weekend =]

I'm not taking part in this week's challenge at Adventure In Stamping, cause I came up with seriously no ideas!

So instead I have for you some Pirate themed stamping using Cheeky Plate CH49.

Blurry, but yay shimmer!

So what do you guys think? I really loved wearing these, and the cutlass image stamped so perfectly.
