Collection 2000 - Bongo Beat, Flakies, Black Stamping In Matte

Quick post today of something I did a couple weeks back. Such a lovely combo! And I love loved these matte :D

I started with one coat of Collection 2000 - Bongo Beat, and added one coat of Golden Rose - Scale Effects 13, and stamped with two images from the second Bundle Monster set in BYS - Black Satin before adding a top coat, and then a matte top coat.

What do you guys think of these? Hope everyone's having a good Tueday :]

Miss Sporty - 346 & Gosh - Berry Me Stamping

Today's polishes were gifted to me by way of giveaway from the lovely fyeahilovenails I don't know why I'm so behind in posting loads of manis, but I'm starting to catch up and will have more swatches and mani's on the way, including those I won in her giveaway :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Miss Sporty - 346
Stamping Colour: Gosh - Berry Me
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM201
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

Not my best stamping, but I love how Gosh - Berry Me stamped sheer, so it looks purple, rather than the brilliant berry red it is. Gosh - Berry Me is now one of my favourite reds; I loove it.

And to show the beauty of this Miss Sporty polish here's a swatch shot, and a close up. I remember now this polish being an absolute pain in the arse to photograph, it was showing up as blue, and although it looks more like turquoise here, in real life it's a little more teal like.

There's some weird shadows going on here because of the rain on the window.

Look at all that silver shimmery goodness!

I hope everyone's having a good Wednesday!

Hot Hot Hot - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use hot colours, or a hot theme? I'm not sure, but I was just bored; and was thinking about this mani, and how I loved the combo, and that led me to using a hot pink chrome for my stamping today.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Deborah - Turquoise Fever
Stamping Colour: NYC - Foil'er Up
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM201
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

And here's the gorgeous base colour

Honestly the stamping and base colour look great in the photos, but it was mesmerising in real life, like, so shiny and so bold :D love them xD

The Sky's The Limit - We Stamp On Sundays

'The Sky's The Limit' was the challenge this week over at Adventures In Stamping. At first I had no idea what to do, or where to start. But then I decided to use the rainbow image from the second set of Bundle Monster plates that I've never tried. The idea was to stamp in white, over a cloudy looking base, but I painted my nails white, and then realised :P So it was time to attack a different plan of action.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Rimmel - Tip Whitener
Sponged Colours: Essence - Speed Of Light Blue
                              George - Cloudless Sky
Stamping Colours: BYS - Black Satin
                              Konad Special White Polish
Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM201
Glitter: Etos - Effect Nails 03-04
Rainbow Colours: Nail Art Pens
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

Here's the base of sponged colours before stamping, plus a coat of the little bottle of Etos glitter I won from Ingie, trying not to get the big pieces of glitter on the nail (which was extremely hard!)

Because my black stamping polish is starting to get a bit goopy it wouldn't pick up the image properly :( So I decided to mix a bit of black in with a stripe of white on the plate so the image would pick up. Then I decided to fill inthe rainbow =]

Then because it was feeling a tiny bit bumpy after top coat I decided to do a matte coat, which I am really loving. Looks so powdery and magical xD

Here's what I used:

Frozen Swirls - Pale Blue And Bronze

Icy cool nails today. I loved wearing these though the stamp was quite hard to from a distance, I love the colour combo as both colours are cool toned. Apologies for the naff photos. I still haven't really sussed out how I'm going to take photos in the winter, as I can't afford day light bulbs. Booo. So I think I might only change my nails when the sun's out so I can take photos xD

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: George - Smarty Pants
Stamp Colour: Miss Sporty - Electric Beige
Image Plate: Bundle Monster 201 (new series)
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I love this stamp though. :]

Rainbow Chevron

I was in the mood for fun and bright, and these were crazy fun to wear ^_^

I used Bundle Monster BM201 for the chevron design, and used BYS - black satin for the stamp

Colours Used: Sally Hansen - White On
Barbara Daly - Sunshine & Neon Pink
L.A. Colors - Atomic & Static Electricity
BYS - Pouty Purple
Collection 2000 - Teeny Bikini
Models Own - Golden Peach
Yes Love - Neon Green
Barry M - Unkown Red ( free with a magazine about a year ago)

I used two coats of White On first, so the colours would pop, and then starting doing the lines, some of the colours have two coats to make the colours really opaque. Majority of the lines aren't srtaight, and for some reason my "bad" hand had the straighter lines, but you can't really tell after I stamped them.

Hope you like :]
