2014 Catch Up Post Five

I am a massive fan of all things kind of spooky but not actually scary. Halloween is so much fun! You can go all out with your nails and even my work didnt comment!

2014 Catch Up Post Two

Hello!!!

So this is continuing on with 2014 nails. By now you will have noticed that I am getting into Stamping in a BIG way. So very cool and so very very pretty!!!

Shellac Serene Green stamped with Pueen plate 26

Shellac Cerulean Sea with Bundle Monster Stamping. Done as a decal transfer so I stamped it onto the stamper and then colored the triangles in and then painted a coat of clear and peeled off and applied to the tacky layer of the Shellac. Top coated and DONE. Its the only way to use opaque colors and keep those clean lines!!! Thanks Pinterest for another amazing idea!!!

This is a coat of Gellie Beans Purple Popsicle and a foil I purchased form Shardee Nail Shimmers on eBay.

Shellac Black Pool and Hollywood with Orly Gel FX Shine.

Gellie Beans Emerald City with Messy Mansion Stamping

Lillies for a Lady

Ok so I am so clearly NOT a ladylike person at all. I swear like a sailor and I have a mean mean temper. I have got the shits on with working so badly I am totally scaring people. I got walked home simply because they needed to get me out of the office before I killed someone. Admittedly that someone was a stupid ass but murderers aren't allowed to paint their nails so probably not the best decision :)

Anyway in a bid to become slightly more ladylike and less of a murdering cow I decided that this lilly design from the Bundle Monster plates was a good start. Now I can just stare at my pretty nails and picture them wrapped around someones neck instead of just plotting with bad nails :)

This is Gelish Tiger Blossom and its lovely. 

Red Red Red

 There is just something so classy about red nails. Whats classier you ask? Silver accents to red nails. So pretty. So So Pretty!

Challenge No 25 - Inspired by FASHION

Today I have been inspired by Fashion :) I have been looking at bridesmaid dresses on Pinterest for two of my friends who are due to get married and I can across this dress. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. The purple ombre is just soooooo pretty and very easy to translate :) This is the new Shellac Lilac Longing with a small amount of Spectrum Lenore brushed into the tacky layer. I then decided to add a bit more by stamping on the floral pattern on BM-204.

Challenge No 23 - Inspired by A MOVIE

Wow these challenges are getting really hard. I actually just did this mani because I liked the colors and patterns in my head and then  matched them to a movie. Technically cheating I know but DAMN!!! I used stamping plates BM-215 and BM 208 and stamped with Konad Black. The red base is Shellac Wildfire with Ruby Ritz on top. The foil is just a random shattered effect silver with Shellac Silver Chrome underneath.

This is one of my FAVOURITE manicures EVER! I am absolutely in love and cannot stop staring at my nails!!! Hope you like them too :)

Challenge No 21 - Inspired by A COLOR

Challenge No 21 Inspired by a Color was so far the easiest one for me to decide what to do with. 

RED. My most favorite color in the whole world. Looks amazing on anyone's nails and just makes me happy to look at.

For this nail I actually started with a practice nail to make sure that the CND Additive in Pink would show up enough. 

I used Shellac Hollywood as my base color and then dabbed an ombre gradient in two of the CND Additives. I then stamped onto 3 of my nails with BM-305 and left the other two with the gradient. Top coat and done.

What do you think? Do you like the designs? Have any suggestions?

Challenge No 17 - Glitter

Today we are up to Challenge No 17 :)
I decided I wanted a simple design. Some glitter nails are just whacked out and I'm not really in a whacked out Sparklie mood at the moment.








This is Gelish Midnight Caller with a strip of Silver Glitter pushed into it and then Konad Black Stamping Polish stamped with Plate BM - 206. I really really like this pattern and it fits well with the black and glitter.
