Toxic Or Poisonous - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all! Happy Sunday! I'm back for Adventures In Stamping Sunday challenge, I'm still a little sad about not partaking in last weeks challenge, mainly as it's caused a gap in my running streak! However, when I saw the vote for this week's challenge, I was so excited and inspired by 'Toxic or Poisonous' that I did my nails as soon as I seen the possible options and just hoped that it was going to win :D

I really wanted to do a glitter jelly sandwich with a neon on top to make it toxic looking, and was going to use a green, but then I came across this yellow first :D Originally I wanted to stamp an apple in red, but I found out I had no apple image, and remembered I didn't buy a Konad Red, and Quick Brick didn't really work over the glitter. So I went with the only other image I wanted to use, the mushroom on Bundle Monster BM 302. On to the pics!

Base Coat: La Femme

Base Colour: Essence Nail Colour3 - A Walk In The Park

Glitter: Essence Twins Glitter Topper - Clyde

Jelly Colour: YSSY - Not Named

Stamp Colour: Konad Special White

Red: Nail Art Pen

Image Plate: Bundle Monster BM 302

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced - Hard As Nails

 
 I seriously adored wearing these (even though the mushrooms are backwards), but as I've been putting this post together and glancing at thumbnails these really remind me of poker, like a poker table or something :P

Here's a swatch of the base Essence - A Walk In the Park, then with Essence Twins Glitter Topper - Clyde, and I thought I had a shot of YSSY over it before top coat and stamping, but I can't find one!

Trust me when I say these square glitter pieces are awesome, they shine on the nail like in the bottle, anddd a little bit of holographic shows through the coat of YSSY neon yellow.

Here's what I used:

I love how evil the outlined bunny on that plate looks :P

Well I hope everyone has had a good weekend so far, I am going to spend my Sunday evening trying to play catch up on my reading list (yet again). I'm constantly 5 days behind, and that needs to change!

Queens Diamond Jubilee Nails

Just a quickie post today to show you what I've been wearing since Saturday. Originally I wasn't gonna do anything special on my nails, but after being a zombie all day in front of the racing I felt like doing my nails.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You/
Base Colours: Barry M - Gold Foil
Rimmel - Tip Whitener
Barry M - Bright Red
George - Boom
I also used a red nail art pen, and blue and white acrylic paints
The glitter's just loose fine glitter
Top coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I did try and take some pics of my right hand, but they all came out blurry, and I didn't wait long enough for the first top coat to dry before bed, and the flag on my right ring finger kind of melted and partly slipped under the free edge in my sleep lol. I kinda wish I'd done red and blue with gold glitter fade. For the glitter I thickly sponged on top coat and sprinkled glitter on.

I'm currently trying to nurse some sort of illness (Sunday as I write this) I think It's gonna turn out to be a horrible head cold, I'm feeling better than earlier though thanks to a two hour nap haha. I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

More Easter Nails - We Stamp On Sundays

Today's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was Easter/Spring themed nails. Though I'm not sure if the theme has been changed maybe?

I was totally racking my brains as to what to do for this challenge. I tried playing around with sections of tribal type tip images to make Easter like eggs. But that really didn't work out. So I just decided to use a new image from the Big SdP image plate that I won from Shirley over at Dashica Beauty. Yes; I realise my winning streak is crazy at the minute! I appreciate it all so much though =]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: BYS - Lila Bliss
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD - A
Other Colours: George - Smarty Pants
Models Own - Pastel Pink
Mini M&S - Yellow

 

Here's what I used:

So many new pretties to play with! :D

And for good measure here's a picture of Pickle lazing in the sun the other day for the brief 10 minutes it was out.

She also goes by Picklicious which is one of my favourites for her. That or Pixel ^_^ Oh; and that's Jazz in the background!

Thanks again to Shirley! I'm still dying to play with all the pretty possibilities!

Black And White - We Stamp On Sundays

This weeks challenge over at Adventures In Stamping Is black and white nails. I was going to do a white base with black stamping; but with my new found addiction to Konad special white (I've used half a mini bottle since Christmas :P) I decided on using a black base. And I figured it's been a wee while since damask. <3 damask :]

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Rimmel - Black Satin
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Image Plate: BM21
Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

 

And for some strange reason I really wanted to add Max Factor - Fantasy Fire over this to see the difference between between the black and white. It looked a little more purple over the white in real life.
