Green Leopard

I entered this design in the Adventures in Stamping group Sunday Challenge on FB. This week was your favorite new stamp. I've been wanting to try this LV inspired look ever since I placed my order with Fab Ur Nails, weeks ago.  I used Jordana Brown, stamped with China Glaze Passion, and topped it with Essie Matte about you.  I used OB39 plate for the LV design and Mash plate 38 for the accent nail.


My LV mani above lasted a whole 24 hours before it was ruined when I took off my daughter's polish for the first day of school.  :(
I saw this design on Instagram and had to give it a try - No stamping involved, but it was pretty quick and easy.  I used China Glaze Gaga for Green, and Essie Sand Tropez.  Wet n Wild Black Creme to finish off the leopard spots, and topped with Seche Vite.

Oh, it's been so long since I posted.  Well Glossy Box has replied to my numerous attempts to let them know about my disappointing June Box.  They are going to send out a replacement Ahava Wash, and a new box.  I was told this on 7-6-12 and I haven't seen anything yet, I'll give em another week..

So I am going to post my last few manicures since my 4th of July nails.  I've also received some awesome nailmail too. So excited to try all this stuff out :)

Here I used some microbeads from Michael's craft store over BundleMonster plate 310

No Stamping here, just wanted a quick and clean (boring :) mani.

I love this look with BM plate 322 - I will definitely be doing this again.

This is my FabUrNails order from Manila - loads of fun images here

I received my awesome July MyGlam bag - I love everything in it this month, including the bag!

Here's a neon gradient base with Bundle Monster plate 320 - I really like how this turned out also, and a top coat of Jordana Crystal Glitter puts it all together :)

I was on a gradient kick - here's a orange-yellow gradient base with Mash plate #40 and a blue rhinestone.

This order came pretty quick all the way from Hong Kong - I ordered these items from the Born Pretty Store. They usually get to me in AZ in about 2 and a half weeks, and they always have Free Shipping too!

Whew, there's a few cards I made and some DIY bracelets too.  I shall post them next time.
Have a great night - thanks for reading :)

4th of July Manicure


I've been trying to decide what I wanted to do for a 4th of July look and ended up casing Nailside's 4th of July mani from her blog post last year which can be found here. Hers are PERFECT, and I just couldn't get that explosion part quite right with the scotch tape, so I just "freehanded that" (as you can see, it's not perfect, lol)  I will be needing some practice....big time!

Ahhh....I want to just play with my nail plates all day!!!

Happy 4th of July!!
