Nails Inc and leopard print nail art

Hi guys
Today I have a simple mani I made for a wedding I went to on Friday night. I love this mani because I got to use many elements from expensive (Nails Inc) to bargain ( Sally Hansen)

Pin It
The wear of Nails Inc Noho is amazing! These pictures are of day three and as you can see no chips and slight wear on the edges.For the print I used Sally Hansen Get money as my base and used my konad plate for the leopard print.


I wore this with a bright coral/pink dress and I loved it. What do you think? Is this party perfect?
Thanks for reading!

Crumpet 31 Day Challenge Day 30 Your Favorite Technique

Hi All! Today I am using my favorite technique. I don't know if it's my favorite technique, I think it's my favorite fast go to technique, which I always use. I do a lot of sponging. It's easy, you cant't mess up, and the color combinations are endless. I also added a little stamp because I am so happy my stamping skills have improved.
Pin It
For this I used a nude OPI, Im sorry the little tag came off. With a sponge I did a gradient using OPI Suzi loves Cowboys. On my ring finger I sponged in any place with both colors. I used my konad stamp kit and stamped some leopard on my ring finger.
Closeup!
Here is what the nude looked on its own. This color was really sheer, 3 coats where applied and opacity was not reached but that okay.
I love this look, it's natural and work friendly.

 On a side note I am doing a series of tutorials in March, feel free to look up some looks you would like me to cover.

Thanks Please check out the other ladies!

Crumpets 31 Day Challenge Day 6 Color groups

Hi all
As I looked through my stash of polishes I realized " wow I have a lot of reds in here" its funny what you notice when you stop and look around. Since day 6 is color groups I decided to use my reds. It so happens that all my reds are from Essie and they are all beautiful. So I hope you enjoy the look , it was inspired by my lovely hunny who was bugging me the whole time. He insisted I make a flower design on my ring finger.

For this I used Essie in order: Fishnet stockings, forever yummy, russian roulette, and really red.
For the accent nail I used Zoya Purity. I the stamped with my Konad plate and special Konad nail polish in red. 





Hope you guys like it. Which is your favorite color group ? Or colors you've been meaning to use?
Enjoy.
Please check out the other ladies.

China Glaze Cheers Zebra Stamp

Hi
I recently bought China Glaze Cheers a set that comes with two polishes "Glistening Snow" and "Angel wings" These are not your ordinary silver and gold, on the contrary, they are both infused with light reflecting sparkles that look like there is an explosion of fireworks on your hands. Although these are great for the holidays, I decided to use it for a great easy everyday kind of mani. I've been doing a lot of holiday creations so this was a relief from it.
Pin It

I tried many lightings so you can see how much this color sparkles. I added and accent nail using Angle wings. All  others were made using two coats of Glistening snow. I applied one coat of top coat before I stamped because it was a bit bumpy and I didn't think the stamp would stick. As you can see the stamp worked. I used Konad plate M57. I finished it with two coats of Seche Vite. 



I took many pictures because the sparkle in this is so intense I wanted to capture it. I think I did my best. Enjoy!

A KB Shimmer sky!

Hey
So today I decided to use my some one of my new polishes from KB shimmer. I have many polishes KB shimmer but this has to be my favorite one. I decided on this look because lately is been raining a lot and I miss the summer nights when I would look up and see the bright stars. Now all I see is dark clouds. This polish helps me remember that in six more months, baseball season starts and more starry night will come.
Polishes can be found at their store KB shimmer and find some other great hand made polishes.
Alright so here it is!
 I used two coats of the polish followed by stars that I stamped with Konad plate M84. I like how it came out . The silver hexes in the polish make the stars pop out more and make it look like your looking at a bright blue night with shooting stars :)
For this look I used  KB shimmers "HEX APPEAL" as the base polish and used my stamping plate with Essie "nothing else matters" a metallic light lavender with a lot of shine. I topped the whole look with two layers of Seche Vite. Enjoy!
