Good evening!
I've got a couple manis to show you this evening, starting with today's Stamping Sunday challenge. Today's theme was, simply, St. Patrick's Day.
The base for this mani is two coats of Zoya's Brooklyn (which is the first of many Zoyas for this week), then a coat of Seche. Stamping was done with Messy Mansion MM 04 and Ulta The Jungle Look, topped with Seche.
Yesterday, my husband and I had a wedding to go to. The dress I bought for it was in a color called deep orchid. Basically, it's this gorgeous magenta color that I fell in love with. I don't normally go all matchy matchy with my manis and outfits, but, well, it happened.
This gave me the opportunity to use Zoya Mason. It wasn't an exact match, but that was all right. Two coats of Mason, a coat of Seche, then stamped over using Mo You Kitty collection 01 and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes, then another coat of Seche.
And, finally Texture Friday's mani :) This featured the only other red texture polish I now own, OPI's Magazine Cover Mouse from last year's Minnie Mouse collection. It's not what I would call a true red, though; it reminds me of the color you find on the inside of a strawberry, with a touch of gold shimmer. Two coats for opacity and done.
Good evening! I hope everyone had a great weekend! All I really did was get my hair trimmed yesterday, that's it lol.
As usual, today is Stamping Sunday, and the theme today is double stamping or shadow stamping. Now, I've never done shadow stamping and it didn't sound like it was something I was going to be able to do easily, so I chose to double stamping. I pretty much interpreted that as using two different images, although I kinda technically did shadow stamping also.
I started with 3 coats of Maybelline's Mint Mist from the Color Show line. I love mints, and I was very happy that it wasn't the same as the ones I already own :P It's not as blue as some, or as dark. I topped with Seche and let that dry for a while, since all three coats were a little thick. The image plate I used was my Messy Mansion 07. I stamped the leaves image first in Sinful Colors Last Chance, then in Ulta The Jungle Look. Lastly, I stamped roses in Sinful Colors Endless Blue, and topped it all with Seche again.
Good evening and hoppy Easter! I hope you all had a wonderfully blessed holiday weekend filled with family :)
Today's Stamping Sunday challenge was, of course, Easter themed nails. I thought long and hard and scraped several ideas before settling on what I did. I started with a Skittles mani, using Zoya Arizona and Pippa, OPI You're Such a Budapest and Pink Friday, and China Glaze Kinetic Candy, all done with 3 coats and topped with Seche.
Once that was dry, I pulled out 5 different stamping colors- Maybelline Sweet Clementine, Ulta The Jungle Look, Confetti Get the Party Started, Sally Hansen Blue Me Away!, and Wet 'N Wild 2 Weeks Sober. The plates I used were Bundle Monster 323 and 315, and Mash 43. The results were to make my nails look like designed eggs, especially once I matted them with OPI's matte topcoat.
