Earth Day - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, I'd say happy Sunday but i'm sick and my head is so heavy :(

That being said I did manage to actually do this week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping. This week's challenge was "Earth Day" nails. After racking my brains for ages about which stamps I could use to do an Earth, Water, Air and Fire style set up, I got totally stuck on Earth so gave up and settled on these much simpler nails instead!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Here's it before matte:

And here's what I used:

Very short and sweet today as I'm just about to put on a film, and get into bed! Maybe have a little nanna nap too.

Hope you've had a good weekend!

Purple Gradient with Pink and White Stamping

Hi all

Yay Thursday! Almost the weekend! Sorry again for the lack of posts recently I really feel like I have zero energy when I'm home after work, and all I want to do on the weekend is relax!

These nails aren't really as good as they should have been, but I think that has something to do with the image plate itself. I think It may been etched too deeply, I think I need to maybe get in contact with Cheeky and see about getting a handful of plates replaces. I'm not having much luck :(

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Collection 2000 - Angel Wings & Beauty UK - Jelly Bean

Stamping Colours: Konad Special - White & Psyche Pink

Image Plate: Cheeky CH50

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

See what I mean about the image? There's meant to be lines between all petals, and the ends are meant to be pointed like Cherry Blossom, and it just didn't really work at all :( These did look really quite fun from arms length though as the colour combo was nice and bright.

Here's a couple pictures of the base gradient:

Well that's all from me today. Hope you're all having a good one :]

Tape & Stamp - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, hope you've had a good weekend!

It feels very weird for me writing this post (on a Sunday) but scheduling it for Monday. But it's getting late and I really really dislike posting too late.

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use tape in our mani, as well as stamping of course. As soon as this option was up for the vote I chose it because I instantly thought of a manicure I had seen many months ago on Tumblr. This is the manicure I'm talking about so gorgeous, and I love the original colour combo.
