Finaflor - Verde Choquei & FCUK - Purple Blue, Green & Purple Stamping

Hey all! Happy Monday! I hope everyone's doing good. I still feel weird from missing yesterdays stamping challenge, but I had a nice day of doing not a lot, which is good as I have a cold that is kicking my a**, and I struggle at the moment to muster the energy to move the laptop off my lap :P

Today we have some nails that were pretty bright and looked awesome in real life (despite the stamping flaws) but just didn't translate to camera. I also didn't get a sun shot of these, and the sun really made the purple pop.

Finaflor - Verde Choquei (I think that's the name of the polish :P) came to me in my swap with Susana. It's a super frosted duochrome. Lime green that looks darker green at the edges, with gold shimmer that stands out more with a top coat. I then stamped with FCUK - Purple Blue, which doesn't have a name but that's what I'm calling it.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Finaflor - Verde Choquei

Stamp Colour: FCUK - Purple Blue

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM320

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 Above is three coats, no top coat, and below has a top coat over which helps bring out the shimmer in real life :]

I think I'll have to use this combo again soon as it just reminded me of the Joker. Short post today, sorry :]

Stripes & Roses

So just a little post today, It's been a bit blah and overcast the past couple of days so I felt like wearing some grey :] 

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You/
Base Colour: Beauty UK - Soft Grey
Stamping Colours: Models Own - Purple Blue
                              BYS - Black Satin
Stamping Plates: BM20 & BM14
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I took sooo many photos of this mani in an attempt to get a pic of the slight shift in the stripes, but it was such a pain in the butt I gave up! I do love how the flecks that are in Purple Blue give the stripes a bit of texture.

I hope everyone's having a good Thursday!

My Guest Post Over At Nail Addict!

For info on what I used head over to Nail Addict. Or click the pic :]

I really need to try this with Models Own - Pinky Brown & a grey creme maybe! Also, If anyone would like to know where I get my 3mm Pyramid studs let me know :]

Models Own - Purple Blue Swatch

Just some swatch photos for you guys today and then Stamping Sunday tomorrow, and the theme is stars! Not overly sure if I'm happy with what I've got ready for it, so I might do a different design later :P

Onto the swatches :]

Shade

I really love this bad boy, like really really love it, I love the base colour when you can't see the shift too; which is just a plus. Yeah, this flashes purple and blue hence the name, and slightly pink and there's some teal that pops out too. It's awesome :D

Hope everyone is having a grand Saturday :]]

Magnetic - Freakin' Vioet, Jelly, Shimmer, Flakies, Nomnomnom!

Another swatch of a polish I won in a giveaway from Parokeets this polish is amazing, but daaaaamn it's hard to photograph, trying to capture the shimmer and the flakies and it's so shiny!!!

But yeah, gorgeous Indigo Jelly with Violet flakies, and Green shimmery goodness.

Magnetic - Freakin' Violet - 3 coats (just to cover visible nail line)

Bottle shot for the goodness.

My First Water Marble!

This is actually my second attempt at water marbling - but the first time I didn't even manage to make a pattern in the polish. I think I just waited too long. I've also had passed issues with my white polish not drying properly, but I recently purchased Sally Hansen - White On and it's so smooth, and dries so well! So I thought I'd give marbling another shot :D

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Sally Hansen - Whtie on
Other Colours: No7 - Milan, Collection 2000 - Teeny Bikini, Barry M - Indigo, George - Hoax
