AIS...The Sky's the Limit

Good Morning All!!! Today's challenge in the FB group Adventures in Stamping is The Sky's the Limit.  Since I like the night sky, that is the route that I took for this mani.
I did a sponge mani with the base coat being Pure Ice Kiss Me Here, which I found on clearance and I love the shade  :)

I used a number of polishes for the sponging and a very "fine" sponge.

I liked the way the sponging turned out, almost didn't want to stamp it!!
I used an assortment of IP...M11,SH08,Mash32, a Salon Express.
The final product.....

Sorry for all the pics, I was trying to get the ""sparkle" to show  :(  
Thanks for coming by today, have a good Sunday  :)

Happy New Year's Mani

I hope everyone is ready for the "big" night!!  Mine will consist of watching the "Twilight Zone" marathon and eating my black eyed peas at midnight!!!
I wanted a mani  without alot of sparkle , but still said happy new years.
I put on my usual clear base coat and then used  2 coats of  Finger Paints Where Art Renoir?.  I tried to use this polish a long time ago, and HATED  it.  It is thick and hard to apply. So , I decided to take my time and wait awhile between coats.  That worked , and now I like it!!!
I recieved my first Julep Maven box last week and decided to stamp with  one of the polishes that I got, which was Leighton.  It is good for stamping, I am not sure that I , personally, would wear it alone, alittle much for me.
I used  IP Red Angel 110...I love this particular plate.
I placed a dot of Pure Ice Beware in the center of the swirl, and SV and VOILA!! my New Years Eve mani.
Hope you like it.  May everyone be safe tonight, have a good time, and have a blessed 2012.

My First Fall Mani

•  

Well, this is my first attempt at a "Fall" mani, not too sure how I like it, but practice will make perfect...right?!!
It seems like I used alot of different polishes to achieve this look, will have to try to pare this down next time. Sorry about the sloppy cleanup, I was trying to get this posted tonight.  Thank you for taking a look, I would appreciate any input, and very grateful for constructive criticism. Have a great saturday night.
