This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use 2 stamps or more. I really didn't have any wild ideas or any ideas really, and was wearing Essie - Glamour Purse (my first Essie; yay) and wasn't too inspired. Then someone asked on my Facebook page about image plates with owls, and thought Glamour Purse would be a good base. So thanks Kerry!
Base Coat: La Femme Base Colour: Essie - Glamour Purse Stamp Colour: Konad Special White Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM309 Top Coat: Rimmel - 60 Seconds Clear |
And here's a better colour shot of Essie - Glamour Purse
So my first Essie was wonderful, two effortless coats above, no top coat. This dries darker on the nail than in the bottle, but is such a flattering brown.
I bought three Essie's at first, and I picked four that Scott's giving me as a birthday present. I found these at nail kiosk in Eldon Square for £1.99 each. They also have some Sally Hansen chrome nail pen things, I didn't find a green, but did pick out a gold one for my birthday.
So yeah, I'm not feeling so great today. Yesterday Cheese came in through my bedroom window as usual, and something just wasn't right. I'm not gonna go into how she was acting, or what's wrong with her or I will start crying again for, like, the 10th time today. She's stayed at the vets overnight, and has been kept in so far today too, as she's still not right, and they're still running tests, although organ tests have come back fine. I wish I went to the vets with her but I was trying to tackle a panic attack.
I was going to schedule posts for the rest of the week and for my birthday tomorrow so I could have some down time, and go out and see friends tomorrow. But I've cancelled plans so I can be here if Cheese comes home. That; and I'm not sure what kind of a mess I will be tomorrow either. I do have some photos edited so I'll probably try and muster some energy later to put a couple posts together so I don't totally abandon the blog.
That was a little longer than I thought - sorry. I hope everyone's having an alright Sunday.
I have to buy these plates. Love them.
ReplyDeleteYou should :] I really love them too.
DeleteThe mani came out beautifully. Happy Birthday! And I do hope your fur baby is ok. I totally understand how hard it must be to have to deal with that on the heels of your birthday. I hope you both feel better!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Fur baby is seeming okay right now, but I'm not taking anything for granted heh.
DeleteYour mani is so cute :) I hope Cheese will be fine very soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks :]
Deleteahh gorgeous plate! very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe stamps look perfect together! They give the design a vintage feel! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteWas a very vintage colour to wear :] Thanks.
DeleteOh no, I hope Cheese gets better soon. They worry us so much, don't they? I really hope she'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteLots of love
Hx
They really do! She's on the mend. Thanks :]
DeleteHope she's better soon!! Your mani is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteIt's beautiful, and wow brown looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteOh I want those plates so badly! I've only just started nail stamping, so I should probably be reasonable, hence practice lots and try all of my Bundle Monster 2011 plates first. Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeletePS. I LOVE your blog background!! :) x
I say try majority of the plates you have at least, before you buy more ^-^
DeleteThank you.
I've never understood the owl trend, but this looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday tomorrow! :)
Thanks :]
Deletei love this one, awesome manicure *.*
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni, thanks for the shout out lol :-) happy birthday for tomorrow! hope you enjoy it and that Cheese is well again soon *hugs*
ReplyDeleteAny time :P hahah. Thanks :]
Deletehappy birthday!!!! this is precious!
ReplyDeleteJenni I'm sorry Cheese is unwell. I know it doesn't help to hear it but try not to panic. Right now you don't know anything and panicking won't help you or Cheese in the long run. Try to take a deep breath and focus on something simple to distract you for now and even though you probably aren't feeling upbeat about it Happy Birthday love. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteYeah, after about 10 mins into my attack I went wild with table polish and hoovered the house. It did help a bit.
DeleteCheese is better so far *fingers cross* Thanks x
Aw I hope Cheese is ok.
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday. I hope everything turns out ok <3
She's doing better. Thanks.
Deleteaww i hope Cheese gets well soon! and the mani is super adorable! are those the new bundle monster plates?
ReplyDeleteShe is doing better now :] Thanks, & Yeah they're the new set =]
