BORN PRETTY PLATES STAMPING MANI

Hello

Hoping you are all doing good! I am getting by every day little by little.

I finally completed a mani for a weekly challenge theme. This week was crackle. I HATE crackle so I think I have used it a total of three times in my life of my polish addiction. lol

I got a couple new plates from Born Pretty plates QA91 and QA86. I was completely surprised to see they have made some images bigger and able to better fit my nails. I usually need to double stamp but the stripes fit perfectly. I also ordered some ball barring balls for my MDU stamping polishes. They are amazing but my older polishes are getting really thick. I hesitate to put thinner as I don't want to loose its opacity. I am sure it would not ruin it but still maybe I will be adding some when I get the balls in IDK. 

I stamped using MDU pastel pink, pastel blue, Konad black and a white (don't know name) the base was 2012 Cheimoya crackle polish in pink and purple.

******NEON SKITTLE KOTD*****

Hello Ladies,

Hoping your all having a wonderful day! I got some some nail mail today so it started out awesome!! I have been on a no buy for months now waiting for my camera to be paid on so when my hubby said I could get $50 worth of something I quickly went to WowSoCool.com to get me some more stamping polishes.. That is always a good cheap buy. They offer free shipping for Canada and US locations for orders $20 or more so that usually gets 4 plates or stamping polishes for a little over the $20 mark. I am always on the lookout for new plates so usually that takes up most of my monthly amount for nail stuff but I usually can swing $20 so I can get some extra stamping polishes. I have been doing that for about 2 years and now I have almost every Konad polish and Konad Princess polish that is available from their site. I only wish they would get the neon colors that are listed in some other retailers that won't ship to me in Canada. 

On to my nails!! I am in love with how these turned out. I can't ever seem to just use one color or one stamp so I am always stamping multiple images on each nail. I really loved how this mani turned out. It seemed to just go together. I finally got some of the new CG Sunsational polishes last month for Mother's Day. Love these new colors!! 

Thanks for dropping by.

Animal KOTD

Today's KOTD is an animal mani. I used white base and sponged different colors for the tips. I used Konad for leopard design and new plate by Betina for my tiger stripes.

I really loved how this mani turned out. I always love animal prints for manis.

Thanks for stopping by.

***Happy Valentines Day****KOTD

Today for Valentines Day I wanted something pretty and girly. I used gradient base of peach, pink and light purple. I stamped using Konad and BM. I loved how this mani turned out. 

I am also just loving this light!! My pics are clear and crisp, especially since I got my new camera. I love it too!!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you are having a wonderful day and spending some quality time just for YOU!!!!

Colorful Valentines Day KOTD

Today I have a colourful mish-mash of stamping for Valentines Day. I used sponging for my base color. I used white then sponged the different colors to make them pop. Then I found it hard to pick stamping colours so I used the darkest I could find that stamped well. 

If I had not used so many different images I would have used black for everything but I thought it would be too much black. 

I finally found an awesome light solution to my pics. My mom lent me her OTT light. I had seen a posting about OTT lighting for very cheap at Walmart but my Walmart only had $100 lamps. I was able to locate this particular lamp at Micheal's but it was reg $100 down to $50 so that was too much for me right now. My mom just said "Take mine, I will pick another up this weekend." She found hers at Costco for $20. I am really impressed with it and the pics are clear as a bell now.. Hope you are able to enjoy them better.

Julie G 9 to 5 and Bikini Valentine's Gradient Mani

Today I have my first Valentines Day mani for you. I used Julie G's 9 to 5 and Bikini for the gradient base. For my stamping I used Bundle Monster BM-317,  Konad 63 with colours white and my go to pastel green from my fav Facebook friend MyOnline Shop.

I loved how this turned out. I am trying so hard to keep busy so I am doing my nails and taking tons of pics so I can finally get posting again. I got a new camera for my bday but never used it till two days ago so I am learning how to adjust for best pics.. Please be patient.. 

Thank you for dropping by today.

Halloween KOTD Inspired by Kerrie Wine Johnson

Hello Ladies,

I hope you all had a great day!

I seen an awesome Halloween mani posted by Kerrie Wine Johnson the other day. I totally fell in love. Kerrie is truly one of those talented nail artist that the rest of us keep wishing or hoping we may some day become. I am ok when it comes to stamping BUT there are many others who are truly Awesome!! Diana, Kerrie are just a couple of ladies that I follow and have been lucky enough to be in contact with. I always look forward to their newest pics to be posted. 
I hope you will take some time to go check out Kerrie Wine Johnson page to see her nails. 

I tried to copy her latest designs. I was not able to use everything the same as hers. My bigger house from BM would not pickup so I was only able to use the one size house.. I was still pretty happy with my outcome. I know not near as beautiful as hers but I will be wearing these with pride. I hope you enjoy these too and make sure to check out Kerrie's page..

Thank you for dropping by.

Neon Gradient KOTD

Hello Again Ladies,
I hope you are still doing good!1 I copied this gradient design from the very best stamping queen I know. Diana. She hasn't posted this mani as of 5pm on Monday afternoon but she had posted it on our facebook group for our weekly challenge. This week was unnatural colored animal stamping. I fell in love right away with hers and told her I was going to be copying this mani as soon as I could get it done. I used all my new polishes from Sally's. 
I am still in love with the colors. These are my go to colors when feeling blue or down cuz it is so bright I just can't help but feel better when I look at them. 
I hope you will take the time to check out Diana's blog. She is really talented as I am sure most of you are familiar with her manis. 

Thank you for dropping by!

Take Care of YOU!
