Secret Santa mani's

Isn't it nice playing with new polishes and new stamping plates?

Here is some mani's I did while playing with my new things. 

For this I started with two coats of WoW 427 on my thumb, index finger and pinky. On my middle and ring finger I have two coats of LA Girl cornflower. I then stamped an image from Essence shapes of glory with WoW 433 on my middle finger. On my ringer finger I stamped from Moyou Scandi 4 and coloured it in with China Glaze pearl jammin'

Here I started with two coats of Morgan Taylor go for the glow on my thumb, index and middle finger. On my ring finger and pinky I have OPI blush hour. I then stamped an image from Essence shapes of glory with WoW 422.

This is my favourite of the ones I did. I started with two coats of China Glaze lime after lime on my thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. On my pinky I have Tip Top galaxy. For the cotton I stamped from Konad 38 with Nicole Diary black and coloured it in with Hean City Fashion white.

This is the last one and was chosen by my Secret Santa Thea. I was told to do something, anything with ILNP Ava. I'm wearing two coats and on my ring finger I did a negative space with stamping from Konad 38 with WoW 433.

What do you think? Which one is your favourite?

#52weekchallenge: stars

I know, I know. This prompt was meant for last week, but I was feeling terrible and couldn't muster the energy to do the post. I'm kinda sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!

I was inspired by this mani done by Thea over at Madness Nails. I started with two coats of L.A Girl brilliant blue (which is supposed to be holo, but it is a very sad holo) on all my nails. Top coated and waited for that to dry.

I then used starry night vinyls from becauseishop. Arranged it randomly on my nail and used a piece of a torn up sponge and sponged on Sinful Colors snow me white.

I tried for a distressed look and I'm not quite sure if it comes across that way.

What do you think? That's stars and later this week I will post yellow, now that was a fun prompt (not).

Thanks for stopping by!

#OMD3: Under the Sea & twinsie post with Michelle

I hope everyone has been keeping well... I haven't posted this week and in a way I feel guilty. It's just that I have been feeling so exhausted. I'm used to the dark circles under my eyes most of the times, but lately I'm a bit of a shock to myself.

Anyway, I ended up torturing myself again with this post. It would seem I'm a sucker for punishment, because it's twinsie time again with Michelle... And I totally sucked ass with this prompt. I feel that almost everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. I'm not gonna point out what went wrong, I'll leave it up to you to figure that part out.

I started with two coats of L.A Girl 3D effects Brilliant Blue. It's a beautiful polish, but not the kinda holo that I want... It's not the blue that's holo, it's the flakies. And I want the blue to be holo. If that makes sense.

Once it was dry (and after having bumped my nails), I stamped images off plate BP-L017. I stuck to the images that looked "under the sea". I really like the jellyfish, makes me think of Dory in Finding Nemo, "I will name him Squishy and he will be my squishy"... Something along those lines.

Besides that I had him stamped in pink over the algae looking plants on my ring finger, I think he's cute. That what you can see...

I used my essence stampy polish in white for all of the stamping. And let me tell you, it's difficult stamping with white when your stamper is white and you can't see if the image picked up properly.

This was also done in a bit of a rush, as I haven't had a off day since last Monday.

I'm hoping Michelle had some trouble with this prompt (sorry Mich), but at this moment I feel totally inadequate...Even though I had some people say they liked my nails and I'm thinking "Suuuuuure, wait until you know what it's SUPPOSED to be." Don't forget to pop over to give Michelle some luuurve. :D
