Valentines Day - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, I'm totally not feeling valentines day this year surprise surprise. So while this week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping is for Valentines Day stamping, you guys get my nails from last year that I never posted.

This time last year I was getting ready for an interview, and planning what to take to Edinburgh. I had planned these nails before hand, but then it got really late the day before we traveled so I rushed them.

Forgive me for the quality of the picture and the rushed job. Oddly the guy at Edinburgh Dungeons who takes the photos when you're in the stock with an axe complimented me on these.

Hope you've all had a good weekend. I spent my Friday night chilling, and my Saturday back and forth to the bathroom feeling like I was going to be sick :( Gladly I feel better today.

Under The Sea - We Stamp On Sundays

Recently I joined Adventures In Stamping on Facebook, and wasn't sure if I'd join the the weekly challenges. This was mainly because I'm slightly lazy, and I've never given any challenges a go so I'm not sure if I'll be very good with posting when I need to.

However, seeing as I have loads of free time I figured what the heck :] I missed the first challenge, which was to use green, but joined as "Under The Sea" theme was decided.

So here it is :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: George - Cloudless Sky
Sponged With: George - Under The Sea
                      Clubworks - Neon Green
                      Models Own - Golden Green
                      Models Own - Emerald Black
                      Cutex - Sweet Pea
                      O.P.I. - Warm & Fozzie
                      China Glaze - Frostbite
                      Rimmel - Disco Ball
Stam Colours: Konad - Special White
                      George - Meteorite
                      Miss Sporty - Electric Beige
                      Models Own - Emerald Black
Image Plates Used: BM03, BM04, BM05, BM08, BM12
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I think I maybe did a little too much sponging and layering I went a little wild with the amount of polishes I used too this is going to be a nightmare to label! I wanted the skelly Fish to be sponged over, but I forgot to do a top coat before stamping Electric Beige so it took on a rough kind of texture.

After this I added a Matte Top Coat, and it helped bring the stamping out a little bit, especially the bronze colour, but the light had just ran away and I don't want to get out of bed to go take photos now, and delay the whole process even more. But mainly.. bed is warm!

The polishes used, Minus George - Under The Sea, Konad White, and Top & Base Coats

Plates Used

And last picture.. While doing my nails I turned around to find my cat Pickle sleeping like this....
I have no idea if that could even be comfortable for her!
