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  :)

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 :)

Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge...Ladybirds.....in Black

Good Afternoon All.....todays challenge in th Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge is LadyBirds/LadyBugs. I decided to take mine another whole direction....and do it in black.  Yes I know there are no black lady bugs with black spots, but in my world they do exist....here's proof   :)
Cast Of Characters....

 I painted a base coat of CG Near Dark, one coat of Northern Lights,  black french tips with SC Black on Black.  The lines and dots were also with the SC.  Then I used Matte-ly in Love to matte the tips and the dots.  Milani White in the Spot and Orly Sweet Peacock for the eyes.  The pinkie bug has an eye "issue" today  :)


There's my proof of black spotted black lady bugs!!!  Have a great afternoon.......Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All...It's Wednesday :)
Tonight I have a base of Orly Swizzle Stick, yes... I DO remember that I don't like pink!   But this is sooo pretty that I can't resist it  :)

I used Mash IP 39 with Konad White and Pink for the stamping....

This is how it turned out... I wore it to work this way today!


So , tonight I added a Chevron shaped french tip using a guide and SH Black Heart and a tiny pink gem....


So what do you think????Which way do you like it, I like the end result. It is amazing that a few months ago, pink was my least favorite shade of polish....kinda like it now !!!!

Thanks for stopping in for Which Way Wednesday...have a great evening  :)
