Circles Or Dots - We Stamp On Sundays

This week’s stamping challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use circles or dots, I was still in a blue mood after the last challenge, and I think it is because of all the bad weather that's been going on.

So in my blue mood, I wanted to try one of my new polishes, and ended up using two. I started with LA Colors - Static Electricity (to see the base go here), and layered a coat of the super sheer Radiation over that. I wanted to try stamping with Sinful Colors - See You Soon, and tried with a polka dot stamping image, but that didn't work out too well, so I used this "reverse polka dot" image from Bundle Monster BM21.

Base Coar: La Femme
Base Colour: LA Colors - Static Electricity
LA Colors - Radiation
Stamp Colour: Sinful Colors - See You Soon
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM21
Top Coat: Rimmel - Clear

 Here's what I used:

For those of you that don't know there were some crazy flash floods going on recently. Thursday I went to the Metro Centre to shop for Scott's mam, and the first port of call was food. As I was tucking in; we heard a weird noise, and downstairs the Metro Centre had sprung a leak, and started flooding. Because our burgers were so good we carried on eating, laughing off the little bit of water. Even though the thunder and lightning was still going crazy, making the lights flicker like mad.

It was only when we started trying to shop, and seen that pretty much everything was closed, and areas were blocked off that we realised how bad it really was. And after Scott & his brother got their mam her birthday present we tried to leave.. Oh boy it was such a horrible journey home. Going one way; and then having to turn around cause the road was like a freaking river, no one was giving anyone any helpful information. And what would've been a 40 minute (max) car ride, it took us 4 hours odd to get home. Horrible! I feel a little worse for Andy, Scott's brother, who then had to drive home to Hartlepool. Ouch.

Story over! I hope everyone has had a good weekend :]

June Haul!

 So after basically a year of not buying polishes for myself, and any new additions were because of Scott buying some for me, I went a little wild this month ^-^ In fact I've just realised I've missed out two polishes, but never mind!

FCUK Bronze & Blue Purple, they don't have a name or number.
LA Colors - Current, Force & Radiation

Sinful Colours - Paris, See You soon & Daddy's Girl
Barry M - Multi Black Glitter, Rimmel - Night Before, Miss Sporty - Fatal Plum & Raindrop, Models Own - Slate Green.
When I got home after buying these I realised these two were quite similar, but Night Before has more red shimmer (you can't really see the shimmer in Fatal Plum) but when I tested them on my nails Fatal Plum Is so opaque compared to Night Before.

And a close up of Barry M - Black Multi Glitter. I didn't even know this existed until a few weeks back when I went to go buy one for a swap I'm doing, and yesterday I finally bought one for myself. It's so pretty.

Goth - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks stamping challenge over at Adventures In Stamping called for a "goth" mani. While I'd be more than happy to have some kick ass skull nails, the skull stamping images I really love - I do not own :( So after that thought came and left I felt a little inspired by the pattern of a corset I own, blue and gold brocade. So I reached for a new polish, gold foil, and one of my favourite image stamps of all time.

It didn't turn out too much like the corset, but I love these. I have been wearing them since Friday. I love this stamp so much if you couldn't tell haha. I wonder how many posts I've had using this image!

I hope everyone's had a good Sunday. I'm desperate for the weekdays to roll around to get another piece of proof of address so I can start a job :] If all goes to plan I'll be working back where I was when I started this blog; so fingers crossed!
