Only Using Blue - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to only use blue. For the most part I was worried about what blue to stamp with. This was after I already painted my nails with LA Colors - Static Electricity, and added glitter, so any dark blues I could stamp with would be too subtle, or look black. So I opted to see how well Essence - Speed Of Light Blue would stamp. 

Overall I'm okay with how It turned out, though the finger is a bit smooshy. I loooove the little sneaks of glitter you get through the pattern, It's just a shame I couldn't capture it better!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: LA Colors - Static Electricity
Glitter: Maybelline Colorama - Blazes Of Blue
Stamp Colour: Essence - Speed Of Light Blue
Image Plate: Bundle Monster - BM19
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

2 Coats of glitter!

 

This is the first plate I was obssessed with when I first got my set a few years back, I would try out different designs all the time, but when I had something planned I wanted dogtooth on my nails xD Which is why the plate's so scratched to hell! Damn you metal scraper! I kind of ruined the circle image a little, you can see where the top of the ring's been scraped away over time with the corner of the metal scraper. Boo.

I hope everyone's had a good weekend so far! I'm off my anti-biotics now, and I can't wait till about 6 when I can have a beer! Yum ^_^

Pink & White Simple Bundle Monster

Ever since I got my special white Konad polish at Christmas I'm obsessed with it. I think I'm making up for the years spent with no decent white polish to stamp with :P So yes, I've been picking up the white probably three out of four times, so expect more! I'm still feeling a little uninspired recently and feel like I need to get some mojo back! So hopefully soon :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Cover Girl - Tickled Pink
Stamp Colour: Konad - White
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM21 (First Series)
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

I actually wore these for an interview a few weeks ago, so that's why they're so bland :P

Hope everyone's having a good Saturday! :]

Models Own - Aqua Violet Swatch

So again I've not felt much like doing my nails, or posting, or in fact doing anything productive, as I'm still having problems with my teeth, well with the socket of the one I had pulled. Turns out I have a "little bit" of dry socket, so I'm now on anti-biotics, and I've had the socket packed with some clove mixture, which is awesome, because I love everything tasting like nasty clove oil ¬_¬ At the minute I'm still having a little bit of pain every hour or so but hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Rant over, just a quick swatch today :] I think the second photo's probably the best to see the colour shift.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Models Own - Aqua Violet 3 coats

 

The sun was hiding, so these aren't the best photos, but the shift is subtle, so it's really really hard to capture. While the colour is still nice, and pretty and all the rest I'm a little sad by how subtle the shift is. That being said, the day I had this on I did enjoy wearing it, I just think for me it's a colour to be stamped over for sure.
