Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All....It is Wednesday  :)
I started tonights Which Way with a base coat of China Glaze Crimson....I am not real sure what color to call this one, it is beautiful, very vampy.  But I am not sure if you would call it a red or a purple????
Anyway, here is the entire Cast of Characters....

I just love this paisley image  :)
Here is #1.... It almost looks black, but it's not!!!

#2 Stamped with two of the China Glaze Bohemian Collection and IP BM-315, regular TC applied...

#3 It was hard to do something "different" to this one, so I opted to use a matte tc.....

You can see the image much better with the matte, I don't know which one that I like the best...I like them ALL  !!!  What do you think???

Thank you all sooo much for stopping by tonight, I know how life can get in the way....it has a hold on me right now, so it seems like I can only comment and "lurk " around everyone's blog on the weekends :(
Have a blessed evening........Jackie

Glitterrrrrr!!!

Hello All, I know this is a late post...I just took a lazy day today!!!
I decided to try out some CG glitter that the "Queen " gave me many months ago....Lorelei's Tiara....wow, it is glittery....I am not much on glitter , so I had to figure out a way to "tone"it down  :(

Cast of Characters....

 I started with a coat of Confetti, Lonesome Dove , and then 2 coats of the China Glaze, it also needed 2 coats of topcoat to tame down the glitter.

 Glitter is sooo hard for me to get a good pic of....

I finished up using the chain link looking image on Mash 41 IP and Konad Black.

 The finished product....my decision is out on this...it doesn't look tooo bad IRF.....I went to pick up the "Princess" and it reminded me of a nail sticker in the light coming through the car window!

Well, have a fantastic blessed evening!!         Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Hello All...It is Wednesday :)
Tonight's mani is also for a new FB group called Llama Nails, in which we do nails based on the  letter of the alphabet for the week.  Today is the first one, Letter A. I chose to do "animal".
The Cast of Characters for this mani...

 I started with a base of the lightest Cg pink and then did a gradient, ending with the darkest at the tip. I also put a top coat of Northern Lights over the entire nail....

Next I stamped with Konad Special Black and Konad M57 IP.....

And laste, I used Matte-ly  In Love.......

I can't decide......I like them all!!!  Which way do you like it????

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to stop by, I realllllyyyyy appreciate all of you  :)  Have a blessed evening.......Jackie

Cheeky CH-52

Good Afternoon All, hope everyone is having a fabulous saturday....beautiful here  :)
I decided to do another gradient as a base for this mani....
Cast Of Characters.....these chromey polishes are very hard for me to photograph.....sorry :(

I love this type of image, I am just not a "flower" type of girl!!!
The gradient....

Now for the finished product....

Hope you liked it!!  Have a blessed and fun saturday  :)          Jackie

Adventures in Stamping Challenge-Something I "Learnt" From AIS

Hello All.....gorgeous Sunday here, time for the challenge in AIS.  Today's mani is based on something that I "learnt" from the members of AIS.......there is soooo much that it is hard to  tell them all!!!
I learned from the basics up, I joined shortly after my "addiction" started  :)    I learned about base/top coats, cleaning up, cuticle care, different polishes , the polish addicts terminology,  sooooo much.
The thing that I love the most that I "learnt" was how to do a gradient mani, the member  most responsible for this was Laurie of Dressed Up Digits ,  she does the most Awesome gradients, check her out if you haven't already!!
Now down to business....The Cast of Characters....

 The base....

 Now the gradient....

 And the final product, which I LOVE........

Hope you like it, thanks for letting me ramble today, have a blessed day......Jackie

LeaLac-B

Good Morning All!!  I received my LeaLac-B plate on Thursday!!!   I love this IP, BUT.... the images are HUGE!!!!  I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use them, but I played around a bit and came up with a mani  :)   This plate is perfect for those of you with large, wide nails.....unfortunately, I don't have either.....I could just put polish on half of the image and cover my nail!!! You can get the IP's here....

Cast of Characters.....

I started with a base coat of CG Liquid Leather, I hadn't used this in awhile, forgot how much I love it!!!

I decided to try to make the colors "pop" more by doing something that I had seen mentioned on AIS.  Start with a layer of white on your IP, scrape it off, and then add your color and scrape again and stamp.   I think it made a difference!!

Here is the finished product...I also used PicMonkey to edit the ugly areas of my cuticles, they are mad at me again   :(

I am sold on the PicMonkey for those little areas that you don't see when taking your pics!!!  Hope you like this.....have a blessed day  :)           Jackie

                                                                                          

Mermaid

Good Morning All!!  Today in Purple Crumpet Fairy/Crumpet's Nail Tarts the challenge was to do "mermaids".
I went with the tried and true mani , using the image plate Mash -39

The Cast of Characaters for the base...

I used the CG as a matte mani yesterday, and then did sort of a gradient last night....the colors that I chose didn't show up too well  :(   A top coat of WnW Fastdry  Blue wants to be a Millionarire was placed...

It was after this that the gradient was not noticable because the shades were soooo close to the same....

Stamping was done with SH Diamond Strength Deeply Violet.

Well, here is my Mermaid....hope it passes inspection!!
My new  LeaLac plate came yesterday...those images are HUGE...really overpowers my small nails :(
I am going to make them work today...be back later....have a blessed day......Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Good Morning All...It is Wednesday!!!!
I wore just color yesterday, LAC Festive and decided to turn it into my WWWednesday mani....
Cast Of Characters....sorry about the blurriness of some of the pics.....don't know why, crazy camera  :(

 Festive ...

Some one in AIS said that the magnetic polishes were good for stamping, so I decided to try it....worked like a charm......

Then I had this "bright" idea to try to do a diagonal french tip........not a good idea.....

Tooo shiny for me :(   Sooo I used a matte to coat....alittle better now, especially since I have to wear this to work today :(

  Soooo, which way do you prefer this mani....if any way at all!!!   LOL

Have a blessed Wednesday, I am keeping my fingers crossed that my new IP's from Llarowe arrive in time for my next mani..........Jackie

Adventures in Stamping Challenge-Pulsating Pink and Purple

Hello All, I know I have been MIA...again :(   Still dealing with the swelling in my face, but I could not pass up today's AIS challenge, being that I  LOVE  purple, and kinda like pink!!!
I chose to do a gradient as my base.....
Cast Of Characters....

The base, I liked this sooo much that I didn't want to stamp over it :(  I sat there forever trying to decide what to stamp....

Finally, I decided on  IP SH20 and Maybelline Color Show  Amethyst Ablaze.....

I am so pleased with this, that I think I am going to wear it for a couple of days......very unusual for me!!!

Hope you like it as much as I do!!!  Have a very blessed Sunday.......Jackie
