Scary Halloween

Trick or Treat!!!

Halloween is coming, and so I thought I would get one more nail art in there before it's too late.  I have this stamping plate that I never knew what to do with it, partly because I never took the film off to find out what the images were.  Well I saw on the born pretty website that it was Halloween based, or at least can be taken that way.  The images are quite scary in my opinion.

Upon seeing the plate on the born pretty website I took out the plate and stamped each image just to see for myself.  What do you think?  Halloween material?

Here is what you'll need:

Anyway on to the tutorial.  As always base coat, then base color.  in this case it's two coats of  essence dream on, followed by Sally Hansen Red Carpet, but I did the dry brush technique with the red to make it look like blood.

Well is this Halloween worthy?  Let me know.  

To all those going out for Halloween, or taking a little one out, stay safe and be careful, but above all have FUN.

Well that's all from me for now, as always have a great day!

Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast Cancer Awareness.....

I only realized today that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I have known people who have fought and won their battle with breast cancer, it is to them and everyone else battling the disease that this is for.  

I used Sally Hansen in Twisted Pink for the base color.  Originally I was just going to stamp with I Pink I Can from Sally Hansen but when I tried it on my thumb it didn't show up on camera, you could barely see it in person unless you were right on top.

To try and make the stamping better I did the double stamping.  First up is Mundo de Unas white, then directly over top of that is Sally Hansen I Pink I Can.  Finish off with a topcoat.

After I was done the manicure I thought it would look better with a matte base color and a glossy stamp but I guess that is going to have to wait until next time.  I also realized that some of the stamps are upside down.  I think because whenever I go to stamp I always forget that it's not to me that they are supposed to face.  I always think that I am supposed to be the one that the design is the right way for.  That being said I am sorry for any backwards stamping that happened or is going to happen, because I can guarantee that it is going to happen again.

I hope you enjoyed this post and remember to support your dearest charities.  As always have a great day!!!!!

Nail Mail

NAIL MAIL!!!!!

Ahhhh!! so excited, my parcel finally came in, have been waiting for a month for delivery.  Today the mail lady came with my stuff super excited to try it all.

I ordered the UNT peel-off base coat, and it came with a free matte nail polish.

It came in really weird wrap, I have never seen bubble wrap like this.  I told the kids that I got a parcel and they got super excited because they always steal the bubble wrap.  Who doesn't love popping the bubble wrap?  They were so disappointed when I showed them the wrap it was in.  Totally isn't bubble wrap by the way.

Weird right??

Anyway I couldn't wait and jumped right in with swatches.  First of all I'm not sure how the peel-off basecoat is going to peel given all the damage to my nails but I tried anyway.  I had to use two coats of base just to cover the nail because of dents and scratches.  I did two coats of the blue which has no name just a number.  I did Sally Hansen Ice Queen for the accent nail. 

I bought the Ice Queen when I ordered the base coat, but never tried it, I generally hate glitter becuase of the difficulty of taking it off.  I will keep you guys posted as I take off the polish.  Cross your fingers and hope it works for me the same way I've seen online.

That is the final product of tonight's swatches.  There is no topcoat on the blue just to show how well it covered.  It was very easy to apply as well.  There is top coat on the glitter just to smooth out the surface.

Well that's all for tonight, I have done wayyyy to much walking today so I'm off to relax as always Have a great day and happy painting.

ThanksGiving

Thanksgiving!!!!!

I'll make this quick being its the thanksgiving weekend.  I just wanted to make some nail art inspired from the holiday season.  Again all stamping was done with Aliexpress plates.

Yes I colored in a turkey for the thumb.  I know how cool right.  I wanted to have a stamp represent thanksgiving because I felt that the colors just didnt do  it any justice.  For this mani, I used orange, green, and yellow.  They did not do gradient very well but it looks all rigt.  It took almost 5 coats for the gradient to look somewhat opaque.  

Well I'm off to enjoy the holiday.  As always have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.

Last rays of Summer

A change in seasons....

Fall is here and summer gone.  Oh how I already miss summer.  Inspiration hits....

I CAUGHT THE LAST RAYS OF SUMMER!!!!!!

I had bought these polishes a while ago and never used them.  Well let me just say they were perfect together, it truly is like looking at a sunset in the summer.  All the polishes I used were from the essence gel line.

Wild White Ways
Play with my Mint
Indian Summer
va-va-voom

Wow I feel a little violated with the names of polishes nowadays.   When I was done with the gradient, I stamped on a starfish on the ring finger, even though it is hardly visible it is there.  I stamped a silhouette of birds on the middle finger, and palm trees on the thumb.  All of my plates used today are from Aliexpress.

Well I hope this reminds you of summer too.  Well until next time...

Have a great day and happy painting!
