Layering and Stamping!

Hello Lovely Ninjas!

Today is a glorious day :) I got to sleep in and it's the first day in two weeks that I've been off from work. Not that I don't love my job but I need a little recuperative me time at least once a week. Right now I'm listening to some fantastic music, surfing the web and sharing this neat manicure with you!

This is a continuation of the last manicure I posted. On top of the two coats of Chic Reloaded by Essence, I added a super pretty iridescent polish by Pure Ice called Oh Baby! This polish is a really awesome purple/pink/blue glass fleck multichrome. THEN on top of that, I stamped a full coverage flower design from MASH plate m61 with Sally Hansen Delphinium. This was not the easiest manicure to photograph and I actually had better stamping on my right hand but here are the pictures!

Fauxnad-icure! Or Mashnad-icure?

My first full stamping mani! This is such a pretty combination I think. I started off with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Grey Are which is a great very dark greige that leans a little purple. Then, I added a flower to each nail with MASH plate m21. I had to rush off to work so before work I just did the ring fingers but when I got home I finished them off! And, because I was feeling Springy, I also added a butterfly from the same plate to each thumb.

Two coats Grey Area, one Sech QD, flower stamp in Ulta Tutu Cute, butterfly stamp in Sinful Snow Me White, then topped off with another coat of seche QD!

101st Post! Essie Smooth Sailing

I told you I would have Smooth Sailing from the Summer 2011 collection for you next time i posted and here it is. It's a somewhat dusty grey based blue with a looot of glitter. The micro glitter is silver, pink, and blue but man was it hard to get a good picture of. Two coats was all it took for opacity though the formula felt a little weird and not like the normal super smooth/watery usual Essie formula. This was still super easy to work with though and you might want to use two coats of topcoat because it sort of eats the first one.

And my stamper came in the mail today! Soo I did a quick white flower with my striping polish and a quick blue butterfly with Wet n Wild's Saved by the Blue.
