***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.

Newspaper Nail Art

Today's mani is my version of the popular newspaper nails. I tried my best but I am not sure if I liked it or not. I tried a long time ago to use actual newspaper and the alcohol but they just would not transfer so I gave up on the idea. Then I seen a post using the Bundle Monster plate BM-311. I decided to try it out for myself. 
I used my new Claire's Pastel pink and peach polishes for my base. I then used grey stamping polish for the BM-311, Pink Eyeko polish for flower on peach base, black Konad stamping polish for flower on pink base, my go to pastel green stamping polish from MyOnline shop purchased from here for the vines at top of each nail. 
I think I will be trying this mani again with different colors to see if I like it better.. 

God I hate it when I am thinking my cuticles are clean and get the pics up here and BAM!!!! What the hell????? Sorry about them not being clean enough.. I guess that is another reason I am not satisfied with this mani.. Please look past it. Thanks

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.

Manlgaze KTOD

Hello Ladies,
I hope you are all doing great! 
I wanted to share last nights mani with you..I really liked it. I started with Manglaze Carbon for the base, A England Excalibur for stamping with BM313 and W217. I topped it all off with Essie Matte About You. I know Manglaze is already matte but I just wanted to get rid of the shiny of the stamping and the black stamp too.. I really loved the effect. 
Please tell me what you think.

Thank you for taking the time to drop by!

Bundle Monster 322 & 314 KOTD

Hello Ladies,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I got to do my nails a couple of times so that is always a good weekend. I haven't been posting much due to not having my camera but I don't like not posting anything in case you may forget me.. lol..
I finally got to use my new Manglaze Hot Mess today. I bought it thinking it was something I could just add on any mani but I am not a fan of glittery or shiny polishes so I have not used it till today. I started with a gold base Nina Ultra Pro Big Spender then I used the Hot Mess to add a little extra sparkle. I think I used too much cuz now the gold base is not really noticeable. Anyways, I used BM322 & BM314 for the images using my own special stamping black polish. I always mix Konad Black with CC Where's the Soiree? together and I LOVE how good and clear it stamps. 

Thank you for dropping by.

3D KOTD

Hello Ladies,
I hope you all had a wonderful week!! I wanted to share with you my version of the 3D instructions seen here. I fell in love with this idea. It is so simple yet it turns out so beautiful that I could not wait to try it. I wanted to follow the design exactly so I would be able to see if I liked it and how difficult it was going to be for me. It was Easy!! I was really impressed.. The only problem I have now is trying to figure out my next design.. There are so many options that I am almost too excited to pick.. lol.. I am sure I will choose the right combo.. I hope you like it!!
I used a gradient base instead of the pink seen in the instructions. I then used the new MJll and BM-308( I got my replacement plates today for the three plates that did not work) I was extremely happy to get them so I could finally try out this awesome idea. 
I alternated the colors for the muffins and donuts with pastels. 

 Thank you for dropping by. 
Take Care of You!! Enjoy the weekend!!
