Stampy Sunday 7/1 edition

The theme today was circles and dots.

This is kinda a fail that turned out ok. I think my DRK-B plate is etched a little too deep as everything I try to stamp from it turns out to be blurry.

Doesn't matter cause I liked how it turned out, even though  you can't really tell the dots.

So I started with black, then used DRK-B plate with KleanColors Metallic Green, Metallic Fuschia, Metallic Purple, and Metallic Aqua

Stampy Sunday 6/24 edition!

Stampy sunday theme is Goth nails!

I did girly Goth. :D

I only took one picture. I thought I took more. :(

Anyway, this is Spoiled Visually Slimming, stamped with KleanColors Metallic Pink and DRK-A, accented with QA5 (a plate I recieved as a gift from The Manicured Monkey) and Special white and Metallic Pink

Stampy Sunday 6/17 edition!

This is a little late today, but better late than never, right?!?!

Todays theme was stamp over a glitter.

So I thought this would work a little better, it's not a fail, but it's not exactly what I pictured.

I thought Untamed Luxury was more sheer, but it's pretty opaque. I wanted a dirtyish ocean look...which is why you see little bits of brown under the untamed luxury.

So this is CC Untamed Luxury over Orly Buried Alive, stamped first with konad special black, filled in then restamped with special white using MASH 37

The poor little aqua one looks a little stretched. :( it's ok, you can't really tell, especially when I twwwwwiiiiiiiiiirrrrrl it like this... :)

Thank you for reading!!!

Stampy Sunday 6/10 edition!

The theme is Hot Hot Hot. I took that to mean neon, which means more cell phone pics. :) First off pics of the gradiant...I love gradiants, and I am starting to LOVE neons!!! This is Billie Electric Coral and Electric Purple.

 Then I stamped it with KleanColors Metallic Aqua and DRK-B.

Stampy Sunday 6/3 edition!

WOW, it is June already! this year is flying faster than any others. Lets get down to the mani!!!

First off, I'm going to tell you, the pics are cellphone pics because neons do not photograph well using a regular camera and I am not good at messing with all the setting to get it right, and I don't like to edit pictures to change the color. now with THAT in mind...

The theme this week was a plate ending in 9. This is a sponged gradient of neons using the same technique I used here (Make up Sponge tutorial) using Color Club Get your Lem-on, & The Lime Starts Here, and Billie Electric Coral, Electric Fuschia, Electric Purple, & Blue.

 Now that first picture was taken under a "natural light" bulb, and it is not color accurate. But I LOVE how it dried semi matte. it was not full dull, just semi with a little bit of texture. I wore it like that for a full day before I stamped it.

 Here it is stamped with the new Mash 49 and ChG Frostbite. 

Thanks for reading!!!

Stampy Sunday 4/22 edition!!!

The theme this week is inspired by music. I went for a specific song. The song is Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground by Willie Nelson. It is mine and my boyfriends song. This song makes a horrible day tolerable. I am usually instantly transported when I hear his first words to him asking me to dance. It was a cold January morning, we were going to go on a ride and met in a tiny town to walk around and just take in the sights.

Anyway, on to the pics. My cuticles are looking terrible on my right hand. Oh, and I have gel polish on it to hopefully keep them from peeling. It's been doing pretty good so far, and you can see the growth on them.

This is Marley, stamped with Mash M22 and Dove, and BM07 and Milani Silver Stillettos for the angel wings.

Stampy Sunday 4/15 edition!

Soooooooo, there was a tie this week. The winning choices were Stamp over a gradiant and stamp using 2 images...I did both.

So this is Layla holo  Ocean Rush, Ultra Violet, Mercury Twilight, and Flash Black Stamped with KleanColor IT Purple DRK-A, and well, First I stamped with KleanColors Metallic Fuschia and BM204 (as you can see in this pic)

I was disappointed in it, so went back over it with special black...MUCH BETTER!!!

Thanks for reading!

Stampy Sunday 4/8 edition, Happy Easter!

Today is Easter, oddly enough the theme is Easter.

Here they are, I started off with SH Lavender Cloud as a base, then drag watercolored Zoya Shelby, KC Lavenbaby, OPI Whats With the Cattitude, Zoya Tracie, and some no name yellow. Stamped with KC IT purple and DRK-A

Accent is a decal by my very good friend Kristin @ The Manicured Monkey. Then watercolored with Tracie and Whats With The Cattitude. Funny you should ask, Monkey sells decals 20 for $2.50 check out her etsy store by clicking here. She is Very easy to work with, and will also do custom decals for you! (also check out the rest of her Esty store, she has some WONDERFUL other polish jewelry for sale!)
I'll shut up now, ON TO THE PICS!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Stampy Sunday 4/1 edition!

So Today is April Fools Day. The challenge this week is NO STAMPING!

So here you go. This is a new technique that I figured out while playing on Pinterest. It's kinda like Spun sugar, the same principle. You put some polish on the mat, let it dry a little bit, take a dotting tool or orange stick and kinda stir/lift it bringing it over your nail. I love this technique, and will do a more detailed tutorial soon. Here is the original.

This is Gosh Purple heart, spun with Orly Fresh, Frolic, and Frisky.

I hope you enjoyed this. I loved doing it!

Thanks for reading!

Stampy Sunday, 3/25 edition

Base Coat is Spoiled Visually Slimming, Stamped with Konad Special White and DRK-A for the lines, striped down the middle, then stamped with Special White Cheeky 05

Stampy Sunday 3/18 edition!

So the theme this week is "big floral". I don't really have any "big" flowers, they are all about regular sized, so i just did a full nail floral pattern. I had to use my new plate. I love this plate so much. So here is my mani!

This is China Glaze Stone Cold stamped with China Glaze 2NITE with DRK-A. I really liked how this turned out.

And just because, I had to TC an accent

Thanks!
