Saran Wrap Base - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi everyone, happy Sunday and all that :]

I hope everyone's doing good. I've had nice lazy chilled weekend, ready for the chaos of the week ahead.

This week's challenge for Adventures In Stamping - We Stamp On Sundays is to stamp over a saran wrap (clingfilm) base. When I started painting my nails I knew I wanted to do pastel, so I picked up one of the palest polishes from my 'untried' tub and went from there.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Models Own - Banana Split

Saran Colours: Purple Professional - 53 & 55

Stamping Colour: W7 - Blue Lagoon

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 313

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 Here's the saran wrap base using Purple 53 & 55 over Models Own - Banana Split

Swatch of Banana Split & What I used:

Banana Split was the first scented polish of two I've tried and I wasn't that impressed. Formula was kind of normal for yellows like his, crelly like, but the scent just didn't last an hour. Which is very disappointing as I've had scented polishes that last until they come off. Nevertheless, very pretty yellow, perfect as a base which is why I bought it - so I can't complain too much.

How do you guys like the saran wrap method? I really love doing it, it always reminds me of stone. and it's so so easy.

Til next time!

Over A Lilac Base - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, happy Sunday! Happy bank holiday weekend to my UK peeps. It doesn't make much of a difference to me as I've not been working Mondays for the last month. Still the weather is pretty nice out, so I'm going to grab an hour lazing in the sun reading :D

This week I've actually made time for the challenge over at Adventures In Stamping and I'm hoping to keep this up as I've missed doing these weekly challenges.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Models Own - Utopia & Lilac Dream, Catrice - Dirty Berry

Stamping Colour: Miss Sporty - Raindrop

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM313

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's the base before stamping:

I started with two coats of Utopia and then dabbed all the colours randomly onto a piece of sponge to create the subtle mix. I had hoped Raindrop would've stamped a little more opaque, but I like the colour combo anyways.

And here's what I used:

L-R, Models Own - Utopia, Lilac Dream (in China Glaze bottle), Catrice - Dirty Berry, Miss Sporty - Raindrop

Hope you've all had a good weekend so far :]

Turtle Shell Stamping With Essie - Navigate Her, And Essence - Choose Me!

Hi all! Happy Tuesday!

It's probably a weird Tuesday for me, as I'll be working, which isn't the norm, that said, it means this is a scheduled post, so I hope everything goes out okay.

Today we have the First Essie I ever tried (I wore it a day plain when I first bought it) I'm just so impressed with the Formulas on all the Essies I've tried, and this is such a beautiful green!

Onto the stamping though! I stamped over Essie - Navigate her with Essence - Choose Me! Which came to me by the lovely Susana in our first swap. I say first, as we've just done our second, and I'll be posting about that maybe tomorrow! I stamped with images from Bundle Monster BM 313.

This is how much the little flecks shone

And here's a swatch shot of Navigate Her, two coats, no top coat.

What do you think of these? I loved wearing them =D
