Lace stamped

I did these a wee while before I even contemplated creating a blog, but I used a different flower for the stamping. I think maybe I used a full rose image. Not sure, anyways, here's the updated version :]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Models Own - Nude Beige
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plates: Konad M57 & Bundle Monster BM06
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

Indigo Glitter

Had to do my nails quick to go out on Thursday and I couldn't decide about what Konad or Bundle Monster to use. So I went with good ol' glittah ^_^

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Barry M - Indigo
Glitter: Maybelline Colorama - Ice Princess
            Rimmel - Disco Ball

You really can't see the prettiness in this photo. Ice princess has uniform micro glitter, and goes on really dense, so I only used one coat, and then two coats of Disco Ball.

Disco Ball has a lovely mix of glitter, tiny silver glitter, tiny holographic glitter, slightly larger lilac glitter, and the same sized blue glitter.

Hope Everyone's had a good weekend!

Rasta Aztec

 I've been dying to try the Aztec image on the Bundle Monster plate 221 and I was happy as larry to stamp it in black over a nude base colour, but the other half convinced me to use a few colours. I was doing this in my crappy bedroom lighting.. at about 11pm so I didn't really think they'd come out looking Rasta, using a turquoise and pink, but I liked them anyways :]

Here's what I used. Left - Right:
CND - Stickey
Sally Hansen - White On (not pictured)Miss Sporty - Hip Pop
Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream
Beauty UK - Turquoise Shimmer
BYS - Black Satin
China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

 I started with my base coat, and then did one coat of white so the yellow would be a bit more opaque (it's a bit thin). I then used the yellow to paint a strip down the middle of the nail, when that was dry I used a piece of tape to tape off the yellow from the other sections to get a crisp colour line, and then I painted them too, using turquoise and pink. In the end I did two coats of each colour, so the white wasn't really necessary. I then stamped the aztec design using my favourite black, trying to get the lines to match. And added a top coat.

I went to bed before these were fully dry ;( they needed another top coat in the picture. Woops.

George Swatches

I do love me some George polishes and they haven't failed to deliver this time either. Confusion looks darker here than it actually is, but the shimmer is so pretty. And Meteorite goes on like buttah I've been looking for a darker green cream recently so I'm a bit chuffed with this one. I'm dying to try them for stamping too as they almost only needed one coat.

Confusion - Two coats, no top coat - direct sunlight

Meteorite - Two coats, no top coat - direct sunlight

Purple Heart Damask

I'll start off by saying I had such a hard time trying to capture all the colour flashes in this polish. It flashes purple, and green, and it's just so drool worthy - couldn't stop looking at my hands. and the formula's amazing, I had no problems at all with dragging, balding, and it was perfect in two coats.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Gosh - Purple Heart
Stamp Colour: China Glaze - Millennium
Plate: BM20
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

You can see the warm purple more here, than post Bundle Monster
2 coats in direct sunlight

Prettiness In The Bottle

BYS - Pouty Purple Swatch

Another quick swatch & a quick stamp. Compared to Fuchsia Flash the formula on this isn't as opaque, it took three thicker coats to achieve bottle colour.
