Which Way Wednesday....Black Roses

Hello All!!!   I know, it is late, but at least it is still Wednesday!!!
Cast Of Characters....

Today I started with 2 coats of Maybelline Color Show  "Denim Dash".....I have had this for quite awhile and never used it, and I love it!!!  I can remember a time when I thought I would NEVER wear blue polish...LOL!!!

 I was shocked,and pleased to see that it was matte when it dried!!!

This is how it looks with SV top coat...

 Pretty this way too....

Then I used IP Pueen 22 and Konad Black for stamping...

 I really  like this image...I think this image will be on my nails to match my sweater for Easter!!

Last I used Orly Matte Top Coat.....now I really can't decide..........

So, what do you think??? Which Way do you like it???

I think I like #4, thanks for stopping by tonight........blessings...................Jackie

Monday's Matte Gradient

Hello All....It is sooo good to get back to something that resembles "normal"!!! I realized that I hadn't done a gradient mani in quite awhile.......

Cast Of Characters....

 This is one of my favorite images...the lower left one.....

Here is the gradient that I did with a dampened makeup sponge.....

I kinda hated to cover it up with stamping!!!
Now for the final product......

I got soooo many compliments on this today!!!  Hope you like it too  :)
Hope everyone has a great, blessed evening, thank you for stopping by!!!

AIS Challenge.....Spring Flowers

Hello All....long time no see.....sorry.  My father , thank goodness, is doing ALOT better!!!   We got a big spring storm here last night, so I am stuck inside and decided to try to do a mani   :)
Today's challenge in AIS is to do a mani based on "spring flowers"......kinda hard to get inspiration when there are inches of snow outside!!!

I did a base coat of SC" Mauve"...

Then I sponged using some "springy" colored SC's........made me think of a watercolor!!

 I decided to use IP Gals GA29 and an Essence polish..."Walk on the Wild Side" to stamp with....and it did excellent at stamping, this is the only one that I have , I think I will check out some of the other shades and see how they do!!

I liked it,  it seemed soft, springy and feminine!! Hope you enjoy it also.  And thanks for bearing with me....I am a "daddy's" girl and it took soooo much out of me to see him that ill...he still has a way to go but it much better. Blessings to all...............................................Jackie

Hello All.....I didn't realize that it had been an entire week since I posted.......:(
Soooo much going on, but on a good note....you know my computer died and I have been using my daughters old "dinosaur"....which takes forever to load anything???!!!   Well, my nephew brought me a new computer this weekend!!!  I am sooo blessed to have such wonderful family  !!!  So, hopefully I can get back into blogging....Yeah!!!
Today in AIS, the challenge was to do a mani using an IP ending in 6...........

I used the NYC "High Line Green" as my base coat....

I wanted a little sparkle,so I added a coat of Dare to Wear  "Fashion Fever"....

 There was no top coat in these pics.....

 Then finally, I stamped with SC "Snow Me White" and IP Gals GA26.....

 The "Princess" said that it looked like crackle!!!

Thanks for stopping by tonight.....have a blessed week!!!                            Jackie

Dot, Dot, Dot...

Hello All.....today's challenge in AIS was to do a manicure that included both stamping and using a dotting  instrument!
Cast Of Characters.....

I started with a base coat of  one of the new Sinful Colors "Mauve", which is gorgeous! It took 2 coats for full coverage, but not streaky at all!!

Next, I stamped an image from Bundle Monster BM03 using Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" and a no name Color Club, for the dotting,  in an absolutely gorgeous purple!!!

Pretty isn't it!!!????  Thanks for stopping in, have a blessed week!!!                          Jackie
