Gradient stamped butterflies

Hello Everyone,

For one of the facebook groups the challenge was gradient stamping and also the theme was butterflies, so I thought why not combine those 2.

Base Essie Coat Azure stamped with Mundo 5,24 and 42 using FUN-WON for the big butterflies and FUN15 for the smaller ones.

And a swatch of this pretty blue polish.

I also used it on my toes with will share that in me pedi blog post.

Thanks for reading have a nice weekend!

Peace with matte black and Stampaholics ST04

 Hi Everyone,

Today another mani with the new Stampaholics ST04 (I still haven't showed my 2nd mani with that plate here either, but this is my 3rd one) I love this plate. Nail friend Dimpal from Crazy Polishes did a black mani with matte stamping earlier this week, and she gave me the idea to do a matte with shiny mani again. Only she stamped with matte and I stamped with shiny over a matte ;)

Catrice Carnival of Colours C07 Black For Gold made matte with Essie Matte about you. And stamped with Konad SN black full nails from Stampaholics ST04 over it (ring finger is the sort of reversed image from that plate). Later stamped the peace signs and bird over it with Konad SN white and also ST04.

Here also a picture of just the tone on tone full nail stamp.

I was really happy with this mani loved the subtle full nail stamp.

Thanks for reading :)

Bad Hair Day

Hi Everyone,

Today something fun, I did this last week. As you all know I love being challenged and get creative, I was invited for a "Bad Hair Day" contest over at Upload And Share Your Own Nail Art Creations and felt so honored (she is amazing). I was challenged to think outside the box and use unusual things for nail art. So I used my own hair haha :)

"The moment you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror (pinkie)
Trying to brush and comb your hair (ring finger) 

But nothing works you are having a bad hair day (middle finger) 

Blow drying, combing, brushing...you even consider cutting because nothing works (index finger) 

But then you make the cutest braid with bows (thumb) 

And you bad hair day is saved"

We had to include a paper with a smiley face on it so she could see it was new and made for her contest :)

Gradient with Essence Show your feet Flamingo rose, Konad SN pastel violet and Essie Full Steam Ahead. Stamped the mirror from Moyou Princess 07 and colored it with a mini silver from Color Club, stamped the comb, brush, sciccors, blowdryer, hand mirror from parts of Cheeky CH40. Stamped and colored the girl on Moyou Suki 10 and used a little freehand coloring, adjusting her hair and eyes.  And added my own real hair on my middle finger and made a little braid in my own hair cut it off and paste it on my thumb haha LOL Also added one silver and one pink fabric bow.

Also a picture without the smiley face.

And this what it look liked without my own hair.

And some swatches of just the pink and lilac gradient base.

I had so much fun doing this :)

Thanks for reading.

Playing with holo's and tape :)

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a non stamping mani for you, I know that is really rare for me ;) Cause I always stamp or combine things with stamping ;) But this one really is without any stamping...LOL.I did them earlier this week .

The base are 4 holo colors from Catherine Arley (purple 673, yellow 801, red 800 and orange 806) placed in a different pattern of stripes /dots on each finger, added parts of striping tape in different patterns too, then added a layer of a black holo Catherine Arley 805 and removed the striping tape again :)

And some more pictures of it.

 I really like playing with striping tape, this is only my 2nd time using it, but I love it :)

Later I've made them matte with Essie matte about you topcoat. 

And both shiny and matte together.

Shiny vs matte? Which do you like better?

Have a nice weekend!

Orange snowflakes for the World Cup speed ice skating

Hi Everyone,

 

Saturday I went to the World Cup speed ice skating in the Thialf stadion. And of course I wanted to support our country. So that means doing something orange...since orange is our national color. And red white and blue are the colors of the flag. So I chose do make orange snowflakes/ ice crystals on my nails.

 

 In the back ground you see the stadion. Base is a white from a LE from Essence and on top Orly Gogo (white with fine silver glitter). Stamped with one of Konad's newer stamping polishes SN orange pearl (pretty orange with lots of shimmer and part of the full nail image of BM323. I did not want it to fill my entire nail, because that was too orange ;) Added some red, white and blue dots on my ring finger.

 

 You can really see the shimmer in the stamping polish.

 

 

Sunday's challenge on AIS was an aspect of matte so I made them matte with my Essie matte about you topcoat.

 I am not a big matte fan, but I kinda liked this matte :)

 

Also some picture of our fun day at the World Cup speed ice skating.

 

 Warming up.
