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

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!

Finaflor - Madri, Glitter & Stamping with Bundle Monster BM 306

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

Quick post from me today, as I write this it's Wednesday night, and all I want to do is sleep as Cheese (one of my cats) decided to wake me up last night, something like, every two hours. I've not been a very productive bunny today!

Finaflor - Madri is another polish that came to me from the lovely Susana of Blog do Verniz Amarelo it's such a strange deep purple, that looks kind of like chocolate at times, it's hard to describe. It's got such an awesome formula too, one coat was full coverage, but two deepened the colour. I really want to try this for stamping, and see what kind of colour it shows as.
Base Coat: La Femme

Stamping Colour: NYC - Foil'er Up

That's all for today! Hope you liked these :]

Finaflor - Verde Choquei & FCUK - Purple Blue, Green & Purple Stamping

Hey all! Happy Monday! I hope everyone's doing good. I still feel weird from missing yesterdays stamping challenge, but I had a nice day of doing not a lot, which is good as I have a cold that is kicking my a**, and I struggle at the moment to muster the energy to move the laptop off my lap :P

Today we have some nails that were pretty bright and looked awesome in real life (despite the stamping flaws) but just didn't translate to camera. I also didn't get a sun shot of these, and the sun really made the purple pop.

Finaflor - Verde Choquei (I think that's the name of the polish :P) came to me in my swap with Susana. It's a super frosted duochrome. Lime green that looks darker green at the edges, with gold shimmer that stands out more with a top coat. I then stamped with FCUK - Purple Blue, which doesn't have a name but that's what I'm calling it.

 Above is three coats, no top coat, and below has a top coat over which helps bring out the shimmer in real life :]

I think I'll have to use this combo again soon as it just reminded me of the Joker. Short post today, sorry :]
