Essence Nail Colour3 - Ticket To The Show, Front Row Or Backstage & Gold Lighting Bolts With BM 305

Hi all! Today I have a delicious combo for you, Essence Nal Colour3, Ticket To The Show, with a Layer of Front Row Or Backstage and some stamping.

First up is the finished mani:

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Essence Nail Colour3 - Ticket To The Show

Layering Colour: Front Row Or Backstage (on all nails except ring finger)

Stamping Colour: Barry M - Gold Foil

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 305

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 
Now onto the swatches. Ticket to the show is so beautiful, a very rich black with rainbow shimmer, and it's a one coater! I used two coats for the swatches, but that's just habit! It was quite hard for me to capture the rainbow with the overcast day we were having in the UK :(

Here's a swatch shot of Ticket To The Show, with one coat Front Row Or Backstage? I love how chocolatey and warm this looks. Something I'll seriously be wearing again soon.

Hope you're all having a good Tuesday!

Kiko - 356 - Melon & Black Smiley Stamping With New Bundle Monster

Hi all, happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is good, I'm hopefully gonna be feeling better (this is a scheduled post as I'll be at work) Though I know these cheered me up the day I wore them :D

Kiko -356 aka Melon is such a creamy looking orange, with a great formula, and clean up was such a breeze, no staining at all. I loved wearing this, but I almost felt like it was a bit too bright for me, but maybe it was the bold stamping that made it a bit over the top for day time/office nails.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Kiko - 356 - Melon

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds - Clear

 

I had problems with the opacity of the full nail images, and the thin image I had to re-do my nails a couple of times, and ended up settling for how they came out when it started getting a bit late.

Here's some swatch shots of this pretty lady!

Hope you like them :]

Pulsating Pink And Purple - We Stamp On Sundays

This week's challenge for Adventures In Stamping was to use pink or purple, of the bright variety. I for some reason really wasn't feeling too inspired, so just kind of settled on using some of my new goodies.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colours: Essence - Shopping Trip In Soho

                          Essence - Party All Night Long

Stamp Colour: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Grape Escape

Then I added a coat of Party All Night Long, I loved the layering of this. I love Jellies with flakies. Just love love love them!

Here's what I used:

I hope you liked these! They looked a lot better in real life - brighter.

Hope you're having a good Sunday!
