Crazy Neons - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all, been a little MIA this week again, but I've just been shattered!

This week's stamping challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use crazy bright neons. I decided to do a "plastic bag" smooshie style base for these, and then stamp over with black.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Rimmel - French White

Neon Colours: Kiko - 356 - Melon

Flor Mar - N007

Alessandro - Pomegranate

Clubworks - Pink

Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Konad M85

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's my base, before a top coat, and the method used didn't really work, so I filled in some of the whiter spots with a cotton bud with polish on.

 Here's what I used:

Hope you've had a good weekend! I should be getting ready to head out to stuff my face with yummy food, probably Wagamamas, nomnomom noodles! And then to go watch Wreck-It Ralph :D

Spring Challenge - Day 5 - Rainbow

Hey everyone!

It's the fifth instalment of the Spring challenge myself and Esme of Nail Addict are doing. Today is rainbow nails, but I think of these more as stained glass windows. They don't scream rainbow; but trust me when I say there's 7 colours in there!

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Sally Hansen - White On
Stamping Colours: Rimmel - Purple Reign
                                   Rimmel - Pop!
                                   LA Colors - Static Electricity
                                   Barry M - Bright Red
                                   George - Buttercup Shine
                                   Flormar - N007                                   M&S Mini - Unnamed pink

Top Coat: Models Own - 3 In 1

You can see the purple here on the thumb, on the other nails it's kinda blended into th mix.

 

I kind of feel like I was let down a little bit by Purple Reign (although it could just be my placements) but I will try this again one day when I have a sexy vivid purple in my hands (Yes; I am looking at you Zoya Mira you will be miine!!) and will see if it works out better.

Then I decided to see how it looked matte, and I looved it even more. Giving it the matte top coat really made the colours pop, and they looked more luminous

Don't forget to head over to Nail Addict to see what Esme came up with for today's challenge.

Up next; on Friday is frogs!

My First Jelly Sandwich!

I don't really have any glitter polishes that have a mix of sizes in, the closest thing I have is Rimmel - Disco Ball, but even then the glitters micro to small. So seeing all these pretty Jelly Sandwiches around, I decided to invest in a polish with large Holo glitter pieces in, I then decided to mix up a bunch into an empty mini bottle. I'm still lusting after something like Essence - Circus Confetti, or NYX - Carnival but it seems like it would be quite hard to get my hands on either of them :(

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Flormar - Neon Green N007 (2 coats)
Glitter: Franken
Another Coat of Flormar
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

And here's what I mixed up into a mini 17 Bottle

L-R: Barry M - Hologram Hexograms, Barry M - Pink Iridescent, Maybelline - Ice Princess, Rimmel - Disco Ball

I'm really not sure how I ended up with a line of glitter on my index finger, I guess I'm just unlucky hahaha. And I still feel like I need a glitter size in between Disco Ball and Holo Hex.

I Won My First Giveaway!!! :D
