Stamped Accent

Happppy Hump Day!

I did this mani last week I think, and ended up convincing myself that I needed some actual stamping polish because I was having a hard time achieving what I was picturing in my head in terms of stamping.  Every nail that I stamped had a different stamp colour because I was trying to find one that made me happy, ha.


I started off with OPI - Dutch Ya Just Love OPI? and left it plain because I ADORE this purple polish.  I just wish the copper shimmer would better translate onto the nail.  


For the accent nails I started off with Essense Grey-t To Be Here. This polish is gorgeous, a soft grey with TONS of pink shimmer throughout.  Stunning, really.  Then I sponged Essence Oh My Glitter on the tips, which is a soft lilac with the same pink shimmer throughout as Grey-t to be Here.


I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Grape Escape from the Fall 2011 Collection, to stamp the image (from the new BM set) on my ring finger.  This was the polish I was most pleased with to stamp, but I think that's true for most Insta Dri polishes.

PCFSC: My kind of Daffodils!

Hi lovelies!

One day late, again, in posting the challenge mani.  At least it's only one day :P  Yesterday's challenge was to do daffodils on your nails.  I tried, I really did.. then burst out laughing once it was all done with and removed it right away.  I really wish I would have taken a photo to show you guys anyway, but I wasn't thinking!

So, in honour of daffodils, I did yellow (and blue) leopard print nails!



Whoa, the difference sunlight pictures make, the colours really pop!


The blue base & blue leopard print is Essence Colour & Go - Let's Get Lost, and the yellow accent nail and yellow print was done with Color Club - Dress for the Parade.

Not pictured is Wet 'n Wild Black Creme, which I used to surround the spots :)

So, I cheated a bit, but this was too awesome of a mani to not post :)

Hope everyone's weekend was fabulous!  Check out the other girls participating:
