Models Own - Emerald Black & Pinky Brown Layering

Hi all,

Smallest of posts today with a quick pic of Models Own - Emerald Black (2 coats) and Pinky Brown (1 coat).

I wore these for about a week whilst I was busying myself trying to figure out how to decorate my room back in July.  I think I had forgotten how much I love Pinky brown's colour shift.

Hope you've all had a good weekend - I've had a proper lovely chilled one getting stuff ready for Halloween and lazing on the sofa with my boyfriend,  Love these cosy nights in!

Green Skulls and Cutlasses Nail Stamping

Hi all, hope you've all had a good weekend =]

I'm not taking part in this week's challenge at Adventure In Stamping, cause I came up with seriously no ideas!

So instead I have for you some Pirate themed stamping using Cheeky Plate CH49.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Yes Love - K011

Stamping Colour: Models Own - Emerald Black

Image Plate: Cheeky CH49

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Blurry, but yay shimmer!

And here's a swatch of the lovely base colour

So what do you guys think? I really loved wearing these, and the cutlass image stamped so perfectly.

ELF - Mint Cream & Models Own - Emerald Black Stamping

Quick post today, I was in a green mood, so I opted for some green on green stamping, and chose to use images I've never used before. On Bundle Monster BM11 there are two images that are the same, one is outline, and one is the solid image.

I started with ELF - Mint Cream, this was my first time using this polish, and I was so impressed with the formula. Easy peasy two quick drying coats. I don't have any swatches at the minute though sorry! I had to double stamp each nail too as the images are only small. I was only going to do an accent nail, but I didn't pay much attention while stamping, so index and middle finger have the outline image, and ring and pinky have the solid image.

Please excuse the colour of my skin, it was a very, very cold day when I took these.

My NYE Mani!

I'm not sure how I'm only posting this now, on the 24th! I really didn't know what to wear on my nails for New Years Eve, like at all. I thought about going glitter crazy and just super bling, but then I thought of all the effort of removal ;( So I settled for a new polish, some star stamping :]

Not totally ipressed with Emerald Black. It's a pretty colour, and the opacity's great, but it's not as impressive as the likes of Pinky Brown or Purple Blue. As the shift's not strong it was hard to get photos, but in artificial warm lighting this just looks green. So it was nice and festive for the night.
