Pink Roses Over Gold

Hi all,

It's been a while, since I've posted and I'm still undecided about keeping up the blog, so here's some more nails from the vault.

Cliche - Maldivas & Psyche Pink UFO Stamping

Hi hi all. So Happy It's Friday.

Although I'm currently back to half time at work I'm really looking forward to this weekend as getting things sorted for my new contract for work have been a little stressful this week, and it should be sorted after today, so looking forward to chilling!

I have a little bit of a odd combo today. Cliché - Maldivas is a lovely Orange creme that looks a little peachy in certain lights. The formula isn't that great though, still having visible nail line after two medium coats. I decided to pair it with Konad Special Polish in Psyche Pink, which made the stamping hard to see from afar, but the shimmer against the creme was really pretty. And the bright colour combination really perked me up a bit when I wore this a few weeks back.

Looking at these kind of photos, where all I have is overcast light giving me a corpse look, or using crazy flash it makes me so so happy that I'm actually starting to get daylight before and after work. It's even been sunny the past few days!

Hopefully by the time Autumn and Winter roll around this year I'll be prepared and have a light box all set up!

Have a great weekend ^-^

Purple Gradient with Pink and White Stamping

Hi all

Yay Thursday! Almost the weekend! Sorry again for the lack of posts recently I really feel like I have zero energy when I'm home after work, and all I want to do on the weekend is relax!

These nails aren't really as good as they should have been, but I think that has something to do with the image plate itself. I think It may been etched too deeply, I think I need to maybe get in contact with Cheeky and see about getting a handful of plates replaces. I'm not having much luck :(

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Collection 2000 - Angel Wings & Beauty UK - Jelly Bean

Stamping Colours: Konad Special - White & Psyche Pink

Image Plate: Cheeky CH50

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

See what I mean about the image? There's meant to be lines between all petals, and the ends are meant to be pointed like Cherry Blossom, and it just didn't really work at all :( These did look really quite fun from arms length though as the colour combo was nice and bright.

Here's a couple pictures of the base gradient:

Well that's all from me today. Hope you're all having a good one :]

Accent Nail - We Stamp On Sunday

Hi hi everyone :]

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to create a mani with an accent nail. As I'm still working through some polishes that I haven't used yet I picked two Sally Hansen Insta-dri polishes painting my nails with Tealy Fast, using Grape Escape for an accent on my ring finger.

As I've just recently got some new Konad stamping polishes I thought I'd give Psyche Pink a shot. Unfortunately I'm a little disappointed by how bright this actually is, or how dull it is I suppose, as I was hoping for it to pop more. That being said, it is a shimmer stamping polish, and I did stamp over shimmer base colours so there isn't much of a contrast between the finish of them.
