Stamping & Rhinestones: 2 Firsts

Hi guys. What is everyone doing for the SuperBowl this evening. I'm staying in and watching Lifetime. I've never been much of a sports watcher. 

So I recently purchased my burst set of stamping plates. I got the Bundle Monster CYO set. I must say I love the images this set offers. I was just playing around with it and wanted to see if I was any good. I used BM-402 and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. I only did an accent nail and then I placed clear studs from Shany that I got in Amazon for the rest. 

I don't think it came out great but it's not terrible either. I don't know. My base color is Bauhaus Burgundy by Finger Paints. 

As you can see u also changed my nail shape. I'm still on the fence about them. I'm thinking of going back to my squares or maybe going squoval. Have a good night everyone. 

MmmmNails: I Love Boyz

Hey! Today I have another MmmmNails polish to show you. I originally was going to post the polishes I got from my January Julep It Girl box BUT blogger is a dork and I can't get to my pics sooo...here is I Love Boyz. I really love how this polish looks over this purple base. I thinks it Finger Paints Gumball Grape or something like that. The formula on this one was amazing as was the glitter payoff. Can you see the square glitter!!! *SQUEEEEE*** I love square glitter for some reason. This one has blue hex and sqaure glitter as well as white square and small holographic bits of glitter too, all in a clear base.

**This product was sent to me for an honest review.

Oopsie Daisies Apple Picking

Hi! I'm so excited it'sOctober. Its one of my favorite months of the year. My daughter was also born in October, that makes it even better. I can't believe she will be 2 on the 15th. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess. Today's manicure is Apple Picking over Finger Paints It Baroque. Apple Picking is a mix of red, orange, brown, yellow & green glitter in a clear base with very small red glitter. I chose a brown base for this glitter to make it a true fall/harvest mani. I absolutely love it. It reminds me of Thanksgiving and warm apple cider.

 

I used 2 coats of Apple Picking over 2 coats of It Baroque and topped it off with a quick dry top coat. I did have to do a bit of dabbing but you can expect that with this kind of glitter. I really do love this combo. You can also do a jelly sandwich with this one like I've seen on hot.pink.aurora which is Cathryn, the creator of this polish's blog. She is really awesome at making polish. I'm not saying this because she sent them to me either. I buy all my polish.

 

We made a family trip over the weekend to Lyman Orchards and actually did some apple picking.

Delish!!!!

She got to pick most of the apples.

NOTD: Pure Ice Oh Baby!

For today's manicure (that I did last night) is of Pure Ice Oh Baby! Its a duochromatic microglitter topcoat. I used it over Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow which is a deep forest green. Tough Art To Follow was a bit thick and streaky so my mani took forever to dry even with a coat of Seche Vite. The sun was in and out today but everytime I went to take pics it hid behind the clouds. Oh Baby really is a gorgeous topcoat. It flashes teal, blue and purple. As hard as I tried I just capture the purple in my pics. I didn't get to take my pictures until I got out of work today. As you can see below, I have some considerable tipwear.

Haul Pics

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post and I promise to have some mani pics soon. I do have for you today some pics of my most recent haul. I was so excited to get pics of these when I got them that the quality is terrible. I'm still excited for it though. Well I'm cutting it short today. I'm going to see Shontelle sing on the Green tonight :) Hope it doesn't rain!

Finger Paints: Warhol Wannabe

Last night I couldnt figure out what color I wanted to paint my nails so I just closed my eyes and picked up a polish from my untrieds. Out came Finger Paints Warhol Wannabe. I have no idea what the name means but it's a hot pink creme. I don't really know what to say. I hated putting this one on. The formula was so thick and hard to work with, it was like trying to paint my nails with glue. Not only was it thick, it was streaky and dragged and was a total mess. When I was finally done painting my nails, I hated to color. OhmyGosh!!!! Did I just say I hated a polish?! Yes! I did. The color does something with my skintone and makes my fingers look...I don't know, dirty or something.

I used 3 coats with topcoat.

Finger Paints are available only at Sally's Beauty Supply. I think they're $4.99
