Happy Columbus Day!

Good evening!

I've two manis I want to share with you tonight, yesterday's Stamping Sunday challenge and today's BCA mani. Let's get started!

Yesterday's theme for Stamping Sunday was simply over a black base. Done! Two coats of Zoya Raven, one coat of OPI's Call me on my Cell-ery, one coat of Seche. Stamped images were from Bundle Monster BM-223, Winstonia W116, Shany SH02, and Red Angel RA-119, stamped in CND Vinylux in Cream Puff. Let me just take a moment and say how impressed I am with how that stamps. It's pretty opaque over black and red (the red I tried was Zoya Sookie). One more coat of Seche and done.








Today's mani was a pink themed one for BCA month :) I used another color from OPI specially for BCA month, ok, well, not color. The bright pink, shimmery, jelly like Shatter they released two years ago. One coat of that over 2 coats of Zoya Purity, topped with Seche.

Texture Friday

Good evening!

Whew, what a busy week it's been! Season has started here in FL, and that means thing are picking up at work :) Which means more hours for me, yay! I don't mind really, I'd much rather be busy than sitting on my ass like I do all summer when it's slow xD

So, today is Texture Friday, and also a pink mani day. Keeping with that, I did up my nails in Zoya Miranda, which actually happens to be the only pink textured polish I own, surprisingly lol. Miranda is a lovely, medium rose pink base with matching glitters. The formula for this Pixie Dust is the same as the first collection Zoya released earlier in the year. Two coats was all that was needed for opacity and application was easy, just like all my other Zoyas :)

Witches and bats!

Good evening!

Boy, I'm on a roll this week! I'm trying to stay on top of my posting, especially since tomorrow marks my fourth day of work this week, and also the fifth day in a row I've changed up my mani x.x That's some kind of record for me, considering I don't normally work that much lol. Here's to staying busy!

Today was supposed to be Halloween themed, and I kinda pulled this one outta my ass as far as ideas. Purple and green are two colors that get used alot for Halloween, in addition to black and orange, so those first two became my base in the form of a Saran Wrap mani. Colors used were both OPI, Your Palapa or Mine? and Funky Dunkey.

Don't ask me why I chose to do witches and bats, I just did :P Maybe it's because they both fly, I don't know lol. The images I used came from Winstonia W116 and Bundle Monster BM13, all stamped in Sinful Colors Black on Black. I almost matte this mani but decided against it.

I don't have a pic of what I stamped on my thumb, since mine unknowingly came out blurry -.- But, yeah, it was different from the other fingers.

It's a quickie!

Good evening!

I'm gonna keep tonight's post short and sweet, since it's getting late and I need still need to wash up and get to bed :P

Up for today's theme was something pink for BCA month. I chose to use last year's set from OPI, which consisted of You Glitter be Good to Me! and I Pink I Love You. Three coats of IPILY, one coat of YGBGTM, one coat of Seche, and one coat of OPI's Matte Coat.

Black kitties!

Good evening!

I have today's Halloween mani to share with you :) It's not anything scary, but I think it's kinda cute.

The mani started with 2 coats of China Glaze's Riveting for the base color, followed by a coat of Seche. The stamped images all came from Handy plate 47 from Mundo de Unas, stamped in Sinful Colors Black on Black, followed by another coat of Seche.

I don't have a pic of the image I stamped on my thumbs because I kinda jacked it up, and waited too long to try and get it off >.<

Stamping Sunday

Good evening!

So, today is Stamping Sunday, and the challenge called for a plate that ended in 2. I have plenty of those, but I wanted to keep in with my alternating BCA and Halloween themed manis. Today was for the BCA, which meaned pink of some sort.

My pink base was Zoya Reagan in 2 coats with a coat of Seche. My plate ending in 2 was Sugar Bubble 002, the tiger stripes, stamped in Color Club's Hot Like Lava with another coat of Seche. Pink, subtle, and pretty :)

Shattered Halloween

Good evening!

I'm gonna make this a quick little post, since I'm PSM-y tonight and therefore tired earlier than usual.

This was yesterday's mani, and was my day to do something Halloween themed. I kept it simple, and it still had a textured look to it. My base colors were Zoya Carly on thumbs and ring fingers, and Zoya Amy on the others at two coats each, topped with Seche. Once dry, I applied a coat of OPI's Black Shatter followed by a last coat Seche.
