4TH of July

Good Morning.....It is HOTTTTTT here, so why not a 4TH of July mani today!!!
Of course , I used a clear base coat and then 2 coats of SH Insta-Dri in Rapid Red....FYI...this is also good for stamping  :)
Konad White and Cheeky CH5 for the stamping.  Then I wanted to get some blue on there, and realized that I really don't have a "good " dark blue  :(  Note to  self....fix that!!!!
So I pulled out a glitter blue that I have and the name is rubbed off on it...so I can't tell you what it is called!!  :(
Anyway, I used a dotting tool and dotted over some of the small stars .  Oh, prior to stamping I used a coat of Jordana Crystal Glitter......now for the pics.....

Does anyone know what this blue is called???

The final product.....

Thanks for stopping in....be sure to check in tomorrow...late....I am doing the Color Run/Walk for the Ronald McDonald House...and doing my nails for the event  :)   Have a safe and blessed day...drink lots of water if you are out in the heat!!!

Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All....It is Wednesday :)  The Cast of Character is small tonite...

I used CG Trendsetter as the base....

BM312 stamped with Konad Black was used next....I am not sure what this image is...but I like it!!

 Then I used BM 313 with Konad White for the stamping.....

And here is how it looks matte......

I liked it...it would look good with just the right animal print top!!!
Soooo....what do you think???  Which way or no way....

Thanks for coming by   :)  Have a blessed evening  !!!

Positive and Negative

Good Evening All....today's mani  has a base of Pure Ice Kiss Me Here....very soft grey, nice application, only 2 coats necessary.....

I used the new BM 316 image plate, with the random lines, in a positive and negative.....

Konad black was used for stamping and the negative, at least I think it is the negative image...was used as an accent nail...

I like it , even with the smearage  :(  It isn't noticeable unless it is under a macro camera!!!
Thanks for stopping in....going to go chill out for awhile...have a blessed evening   :)

Sinful Puzzle

Good Afternoon All....today I am using one of my new BM IP.....I have been wanting the puzzle piece for soooo long.....and I love this one!!!

I started with a base coat of Milani White on the Spot , to make the following colors stand out more vibrantly...

This is what it looks like before stamping...

And after...

Sorry about the little bit of tip wear....this was after work today, and I wasn't very careful  :(
I LOVE this mani...alittle bright , but I still like it!!!
I want to try it with other colors, like black, grey and white....
Thanks so much for coming by today!! Have a blessed and fun evening.

AIS....Goth...For Emily :)

Good Morning All!!  Today's challenge in Adventures in Stamping is to do a "Goth" mani ....for Emily, a fellow member who LOVES goth!!!
I started with a base coat of SH  Diamond Strength in Deeply Violet, next a coat of Jordana Crystal Glitter.

It was sooo shiny that I ended up adding a matte top coat...

Image plate used was one of the new Bundle Monster plates....BM323, the roses and the barbed wire... I used Julep Leighton for the stamping polish.....

Love these plates, no issues with pick up or stamping  :)
I stamped the roses and it appeared that they didn't show up over my dark base  :(   But with the macro on the camera , they did!!  By the time that I realized this , I had added the barbed wire....still like the outcome!!

Now , side by side.....

I like it, I hope Emily does!!!  Have a blessed Sunday......

Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge...Picnic

Hello All....how is your saturday going???  I have gotten alot accomplished in anticipation of my new Bundle Monster plates arriving in about an hour!!!!
Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge for today is  picnic....there are just so few options for a picnic mani...for me anyway!
My base coat is  one of my favorite reds....LA Colors Festive. Ip used was Mash 50...the tablecoth looking one...

Konad Special White was used to stamp...the final product....

Oh, and I did add some white striping tape along the lines of the Chevron tip...now if my mail would just hurry and get here I could do another mani today  :)   Have a great and blessed day!!!!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge...Jungle Mani

Good Morning All!!!  Today's challenge in the Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge is a jungle or parrot mani......I chose jungle.  :)
My base coat is SH Insta-Dri in Chartreuse Chase, a nice shimmery green. I decided to sponge to get the effect of a jungle.  The Cast of Characters is big.....

I visited the Mayan Ruins in the jungles of Guatemala while on a mission trip, I was trying to recreate what I saw there!  The Ip's used were BM15 and SH22....

I remember seeing the little lizards scurrying all over the place while walking in the jungle.....
The finished product.....

I am pleased with it, but I don't know that I would wear it for very long!!   LOL
Have a wonderfully blessed day  :)

Which Way Wednesday....A Day Late :(

Good Evening All, no it is not wednesday, but thursday....and my Which Way  Mani is late  :(
So sorry......My base coat was Milani Dark Coffee, I LOVE this shade, looks good enough to eat!!

I used Milani White on the Spot to stamp with IP BM201...

Here is how it looked.... a little "busy" for me... I don't like it this way :(

I found some of the scrapbooking scissors on clearance for $1.50...decided to try them....

It needed something.....
Dots!!!

There it is.....I would say this week is a fail....there is always next week.....have a blessed evening!!!!!

Adventures in Stamping Challenge-Stamping over Glitter

Good Evening, or good night...it is late I know.  Busy day, I hope everyone had a good one  :)
Todays challenge in Adventures in Stamping was to stamp over glitter.
I used one of my new Jordana's for the base....Mardis Gras, I will have to use this again so you can see how pretty it is alone. I added a coat of NYC Starry Silver Glitter, and finally a light coat of WnW Fast Dry FushciaRama...

Here is how it looked before the stamping...

Kinda pretty huh???
I used IP CH16  with Konad Pink....

Now the final product....

I like how it turned out  :)  Have a great Monday tomorrow, God Bless  :)

Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge...Retro...60's

Hello All...well it was a rough start with all the problems on Blogspot effecting all us bloggers...but all is good now  :)
Todays challenge on PCFSC was to do summer love, retro, or hippie.  I chose to do retro, although it could be hippie too!
A friend of my daughter, AKA, the Queen ...and my friend too... is living in Canada , working for a few months. She sent me some nail mail!! Six bottles of Jordana ....I didn't have any of this brand until today :)
I used one of them as my base today, Mellow Yellow.

I did a sponge on top ...imagine that !!I chose to use SC Neons in Irish Green, Big Daddy, and Creme Pink. This time I used a regular makeup sponge...

The base turned out pretty I think...

Now to make it look "retro" , I used  my arch enemy Ip XL Cheeky B....I have sooo many problems with that IP  :(   Konad Black was used for the stamping.....

I believe that I achieved a "retro" look!!!  Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed evening :)
