White Dogtooth over Multicoloured base

Hi all. Happy Wednesday. I say that knowing that there's only one and half days left to work! Can't wait for a little break!

Today I have some more "sandwich bag" method where you dab colours onto your nail and use plastic to gently mix the colours. Unfortunately for me, I didn't re watch the video, or do any googling before I tried this, and I actually mixed the colours on the plastic, and then transferred to the nail, which seems a lot messier than the original idea. After trying this method out for these nails I wanted to do a more purple and teal mix.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Rimmel White
Other Colours: Sally Hansen - Fairy Teal, Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss, Beauty UK - Jelly Bean & W7 - Pink
Image Plate: Konad M65
Stamping Colour: Konad Special White
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 And here's the base before stamping.

I like the way these turned out, so I'm going to try it again, perhaps even the "right" way so I don't get covered in excess polish!

Have a good day!

Spring Flowers - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi all.

Happy Monday, start to a four day week, four day weekend combo - I like! I always feel a little strange posting these on Mondays, but as it was getting so so late last night I decided to take advantage of the fact I can now set up posts in my lunch break!

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping called for spring flowers. When I started these I didn't know what stamp I was going to use, or what colours, just that I wanted to stamp over a gradient. So I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Rimmel - White
Gradient Colours: Catrice - London, H&M - Make Me Blush, Revlon - Teak Rose
Stamp Colour: Sally Hansen Fairy Teal

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

 Two coats of white:

Then I sponged on the three colours at once, and did two coats of this, these pictures were taken without a top coat.

Here's what I used minus the stamping polish: 

Hope you guys like these!

Back to work I go :(

2true Mushroom Swatch

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

It's a happy Thursday for me, as my department has changed trusts, and I can now access blogger at work! This hopefully means I can start creating posts on my lunch break, and catch up with some reading!

Today we have a quick swatch post of a lovely polish by 2true called Mushroom that is a really great coverage creme. It's a medium taupey brown shade that has a really good dry time too.

Apologies if these look a little green, or red, my photos look so different at my work computer!

Nails Inc Porchester Square, Electric Lane & Cheeky Stamping

Happy Tuesday all. Hope you've had a good weekend, I spent mine tidying and painting (though I'm no where near finished!) So my nails are suffering, but my room's starting to come together :]

Today I have some Nails Inc Polishes to show you. Some of you may remember I got these in my little Christmas haul, and I've just started getting around to using them now.

Porchester Square is a lovely nude pale mushroom taupe. It's very flattering, and the formula was good, although I disliked the brush, but I put that down to it being a mini. Mini polishes and myself don't get on too well. Electric Lane is a very pretty scattered holographic top coat, which doesn't dull like some others, and still looks good in dim light too.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colours: Nails Inc - Porchester Square & Electric Lane

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Cheeky CH52

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Total blur shot, but this is how pretty this top coat is!

And here's the Base alone:

And with Electric lane. Pretty pretty.

That's all from me!

St. Patricks Day - We Stamp On Sundays

Hi alllllllll! Happy Sunday.

Hopefully by the time this posts I shall be painting my wardrobes and finishing the decorating that I started 2 years ago. The likelihood of that actually being the case however, is kind of zero :P I'm so lazy.

This week's Adventures In Stamping Challenge was for St. Patricks Day. When I heard this was the case I knew the kind of thing I wanted to do immediately, which was a pleasant change!

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Base Colour: Barry M - Lychee

Other Colours: Yes Love - K011, and Kiko - Melon

Flakies: Golden Rose, Scale Effects - 03

Stamping Colour: BYS - Black Satin

Image Plate: Bundle Monster - BM206

Top Coat: Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

Here's the splodged on colours before stamping:

Base colour with flakies:

Here's what I used:

Hope you've all had a good 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 :]
