Just Batty

Another Halloween one! Pink and blue skies filled with bats!

Honesty I think bats are adorable with their little turned up noses, but I get how some people find them frightening.

I started the bats using some bundle monster plates but the polish I used refused to transfer well so I ended up just painting them over.

Colours:

"First Mate" by China Glaze
"Va Va Voom" by Orly

Soft Flowers

This isn't an official Valentine's Day design but it is really soft, girly and romantic looking, so it could work well for a Valentine's manicure.

Jan/27/2013

The base used is 3 coats of "Glints and Glam" by Sation, with Konad "White" stamped in plates M26 and BM221 (ring finger). Really simple, really quick and very delicate but still pretty.

More official Valentine's Day nail art will be starting up next week, but in the meant time check out last year's ideas under the Valentines tag in the right side bar.

Have a Happy Monday!

Flashback Friday: Silver Flowers

July/03/2012

Just a simple design for this past summer. Did an ombre using a sponging technique with "Nectar" and "Posh Plum" both by Sally Hansen. Stamped with an image on Bundle Monster plate BM16 using ``Silver Sweep`` by Sally Hansen. Ignore the chip in my Pinky nail, I took these after I finished work.

The reddish-coral is a bit of a Frankenpolish; I added some Wet n`Wild French White Creme to it to make it lighter.

Flashback Friday: Silver Butterflies

May/17/2012

Base colour is "Sex on the Beach" from China Glaze, with some fauna and butterflies stamped on using Sally Hansen's "Silver Sweep" and Bundle Monster plates: BM208 and BM05.

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes

Simple, sort of neutral nails. The base colour used for these is "Gouda Gouda Two Shoes" by OPI, it's from their Holland Collection. I bought this along with "Wooden Shoe Like to Know" and they are currently the only OPI nail polishes in my collection. On top of that I stamped an image from BM plate BM-11 in Color Club's Nail Art Polish in "Bronze" which looks more like a yellowy gold(in my opinion).

I realize that the design is hard to see, but none of the photos I took seemed to capture a whole lot of it.

Changed them, again.... My indecisiveness is getting to be a problem.

"256 Evening Seduction" by China Glaze with "270 Lacey Lilac" by Sally Hansen.

So today (and for however long these last) I tried out a new colour I purchased over the weekend. The base colour is "256 Evening Seduction" by China Glaze. Alone is a very deep rich purple, it's almost black in most lighting. On top I stamped a floral from Bundle Monster's BM21 plate using "270 Lacey Lilac" from Sally Hansen's Extreme Wear line.

Over all, I'm loving the effect I got with it.
