Nautical Mix Up - Double Stamp - We Stamp On Sundays

Hey all :]

Happy Tuesday woooo! Not really woo, but I've only got a four day week so i'm looking forward to that.

I almost feel like these shouldn't really have been posted as part of the Double Stamping challenge by Adventures in stamping. Again my stamping is so subtle it almost totally fails!

The other part of the challenge was to do something called shadow stamping, where you stamp in one colour, and stamp in another over slightly to the side to create a shadow effect. I did try this, with each different image but it just really didn't work out!

That being said I really love these, I'm going to be so sad when they start to chip. I also feel like it's been quite a while since I've done a really lovely mix up/pick n mix/skittles mani.

Here's the glitter in the shade.. this is in the shade people!!!

Below are 5 little vials of glitter that my friend gave me, so far I've done a full mani with the blue glitter and freaking loved it, and for this mani I used the second from the left.

Here's what I used:

And that's from me until next time!

Let Someone Else Choose The Plate - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all! Happy Sunday!

This is going to be as quick as possible, as I've burned my finger this morning cooking Scott's breakfast and typing really hurts as it's right on the corner of my finger/nail/nail line lol.

So this week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was for someone else to pick the plate, or the image. Now, while I was going to do a new mani for this, I really don't want to put acetone near my finger! So I realised I had something from a couple of weeks back that Scott had actually picked for me ( I ask him to pick images quite a bit..and then barely use them :P lol) So I decided to use this mani. It's not something I'm overly in love with, but It was cute to wear, and I wanted an image that did show quite a lot of the holo-goodness.

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Diamond

Stamp Colour: Finaflor -Madri

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 312

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Overcast day, basically no light

Sunlight 

Blurry flash to get the holo goodness

Artificial light

Okay, so I seriously need some tips on how to photograph holographic polishes! I had a hard time with this polish too, possibly because of the age of the polish, but it took forever to dry.

Because this is an old mani and I'm too lazy, there's no pictures of what I used, but you probably wont mind that too much!

Hope you're all having a good day!
