Twinpost: I'll be wearing my Flip Flops

YaY! Its Friday!!

This weeks Cheeky Girl Challenge, we are doing CH37. The image we selected was the Flip Flops.
Shoot me now.
I hated this image.
It didn't stamp well for me, at all.

But after a few hours of banging my head against the wall, I managed to get it to look somewhat decent.


I used Misa - Working hard, hardly working
Makeup Mekka - Strawberry Daiquiri
Makeup Mekka - Green and Tonic
Depend - 124

G is for Green

Here is another festive Christmas-y manicure.

Todays manicure is for the ABC challenge at Llama Nails (FB)  . My G is for Green. Yeah I know, kinda obvious. 

May I just pause for a moment, and say ...wow... I love this.

Indoors

and then I did something I'm not very proud of. I added Barielle - Elle's Spell over the green. Its denser that I thought it was. My bad.

Lets see if we can fix it / make it work, non the less.

What do you think? Maybe Elle's Spell wasn't such a bad idea after all...

F is for Festive

We are getting closer and closer to Christmas, there is no denying it.
And since I'm still determined to play catchup on the ABC Challenge over at Llama Nails, my F will be for Festive, and kinda Christmas-y, without being overly so.

For this manicure I used red rhinestones, and Orly - Flagstone Rush.
Working hard on trying out all the polishes I got from US. This polish is gorgeous. Metallic shimmer, and with the added rhinestones, it would make for a wonderful Christmas manicure.

The rhinestone on my index finger slid a little there.. so will have to redo them...
Be sure to check out what the other girls did with their F-manicures.

D is for Dailies

So I am all in The World Of Warcraft today. And when I was wondering what to do for my ABC challenge next, it sure had to be something related to my game.

Dailies.

For those of you whom are not in the know:
Dailies are different from ordinary quests cause they can be repeated, over and over again, but only once a day, while as quests are a once in a life time event.
This will give you reputation with the faction/clan of the person you do the quests for.
This can give you mounts/gear/ or other fun/useful stuff in-game.

Me and one mount I acquired from doing dailies.

For this manicure I used Cheeky plate CH48.

Orly - Viridian Vinyl

Makeup Mekka - Remember 79'

Look! It matches my teapot!

Heavily cloudy that day, but at least this get the color right. 

Everywhere I see, I see dailies!!

Barielle - Katalicious

I wanted to try out Katalicious from Barielle.
It looks so gorgeous in the bottle, and I was just dying to try it out.
The coppery red goes perfect for autumn.

Then I decided to stamp with my new MASH plates. I decided to go for swirlies, and picked out MASH 45. I wanted a subtle stamp, and used Barielle - Blackened Bleu.

It reminds me of a pattern I found in a book about "Designs through history".

Isn't it gorgeous?

C is for Capitalism

So I wanted to play catch-up on one of the groups I am in. And one of them is an ABC challenge.
So if A is for Anchors, and B is for Bubbles, next up is C.

So why not Capitalism?

(this will also be my E for Economy-manicure)

For this manicure I used Bundlemonster plate BM319. Cheekyplate CH54, and CH55.

Polishes:

Misa - Working Hard, Hardly Working
Misa - Office Polish-tics
ESSIE - Mojito Madness
Savina - Coral
Wet n Wild - Black Creme (stamping)

Misa - Working hard, Hardly working

How you enjoyed this manicure, and if you are wondering where my inspiration comes from.

In the Speed Of Life

So life here in Leominster is good. I like the area, and have been going on long Sunday trips with my Landlord. He is showing me all these fantastic places around here. I'm working on getting a job, and a work desk for my nail art, but for now, its all in boxes.

Lets be a bit crazy shall we?

Today's mani is made using 4 different polishes, a dotting tool, some stamping. I used Bundlemonster plate BM214.

If you ever consider layering/stamping anything over Orange-a-peel from KBShimmer. I would recommend using a topcoat between that, and what-ever goes over. Every time I have tried I have ended up smudging everything, even thou the layer seems dry (30 m - 1 h). Topcoat seems to hold it in place.

This manicure was inspired by my dear friend Mishka. She created this cute manicure stamping over a indie.
Using the same idea with orange, I created this.

Stamped with BM214 ( had to redo two of my nails here, so i kept them in Speed of Life.

Misa - Chocolate Icing and a dotting tool

And that's it. What do you think?

Twinpost: Anchor Away!

It was about time I did a manicure with rhinestones again, and I have been dying to mix different stamps.
So when it was time for my next twinpost with mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her! I decided to do just that.

We used Cheeky plate CH36 this week, and I also added BM 224, and I added a manicure with just the BM224 and the rhinestones so you get two manicures today.

Two coats of Sweet Peacock, and it glided on like a dream.

Be sure to check out what Mishka did with CH36, over here.

Makeup Mekka - Remember 79'

It was about time I got into the habit of doing my nails again. I have been missing out a lot, cause of the moving to UK and all, but the worse parts are over.
Last night I tried Makeup Mekka - Remember 79'.

I am so happy that my nubs are starting to grow out, and I am taking as good care of them as I can. I have been trimming my little finger-nail a lot, cause it grows like crazy, while the rest of them don't. 

I really like this color here, it was easy to apply, worked well with the brush it came with. Doesn't have a terrible smell to it, quite ordinary as nail polish goes. Covered in two coats. 

I couldn't leave it like this, and I debated with myself for a long time, before I decided to get my stickers out to play. 

I found a tripod in the computer room, and my landlord let me borrow it to take some pictures. I had a lot of fun testing the tripod out. Felt so pro.
