China Glaze Holly-Day & Bundle Monster 04

Merry Christmas loves! Here's what I wore for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. I used China Glaze Holly-Day and stamped using BM 04 in China Glaze Passion. My accent nail is China Glaze Angel Wings. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and got lots of nail polish!

China Glaze Winter Berry & Bundle Monster 314

Happy Friday everyone! Today I decided to use an image I've wanted to use for a long time, but I guess I've kind of been "saving it." Do any of you ladies ever do that when you like an image so much, but don't want to just use it for a random mani and "waste" it? Maybe I'm just a little crazy. For this mani I used China Glaze Winter Berry and stamped using BM 314 in Essie Good as Gold. My accent nail is OPI DS Indulgence, it's such a beauty!

China Glaze For Audrey & Bundle Monster SE1

Hi beauties! I'm totally enjoying the beginning of my break so far because I have so much time to do my nails now. I got the special edition Bundle Monster plate last week and have been dying to use it. Here's my first mani with it. I used China Glaze Glistening Snow and China Glaze For Audrey and stamped using BM SE1 in Konad White. It's so girly and sparkly!

Christmas Sweater Nails

Happy Friday! The holidays are just around the corner so I did some festive nails for today. I saw a Christmas sweater inspired mani by The Nail Network and I just had to re-create it because it's brilliant. Here's China Glaze With Love stamped using BM 14, BM 214, and Konad M57 in Konad White. I did a full mani so I ended up stamping 30 times! A little time consuming, but the end result is so worth it. My final is on Monday so you won't hear from me until after it's over. Wish me luck!

Snowflakes

Happy Sunday! Today I have a mani to go along with this cold weather! I used a base of China Glaze White Out and then did a white to baby blue gradient using acrylic paints. I stamped using BM 323 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep. I added a rhinestone on one of the snowflakes and some round silver studs to jazz it up a bit. I originally had all my nails the same, but I flubbed up 2 of my nails while washing the acrylic paint off of the sides of my nails =[ Don't you hate it when that happens before photos lol?

I also entered this mani in Nail Polish Canada's Holiday Nail Art Challenge. If you like my mani, please vote for me here. Thank you!

OPI DS Classic and Bundle Monster 318

Hi loves. I'm so sorry I haven't been posting much lately. This month has definitely been the toughest month of the nursing program so far and it's still not over. I promise lots of posts when finals are over mid December. Until then, here is a mani I had to find time to squeeze in. I used OPI DS Classic and stamped using BM 318 in Konad Black. My birthday is in a week on the 24th so at least I will make time for some birthday nails!

 

Here's a swatch of OPI DS Classic on its own. Such a beautiful tan holo! 

Zoya Maisie and Bundle Monster 301

Happy Friday! I finally did my nails today after having them naked for an entire 2 weeks. I'm going through withdrawals over here! It feels so wonderful right now to have polish on my nails lol. For this mani I used a base of OPI Black Onyx and added a coat of Zoya Maisie on top. I stamped using BM 301 in Konad Princess Apple Green.

Candy on Candy

Happy Friday! I'm trying to get my Halloween manis in before the end of the month, so here's something sweet for you, candy! I stamped some candy over candy corn nails. For the candy corn base, I used Zoya Purity, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed, and China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. Then I stamped over that using BM 306 in Konad Black. Too sweet or just sweet enough?

Pirate Hello Kitty, Argh!

Hey loves! Halloween is less than a week away and I'm finally getting around to doing some Halloween nails. I hoped to get around to doing some sooner, but now will have to do. Here's a Hello Kitty Pirate themed mani. She's cute as a pirate, or probably anything for that matter! Here's what I used:

Base colors: OPI Black Onyx, Zoya Arizona
Stamping Colors: Konad Black, Konad White
Image plates: FUN 2, BM 317, CH 49, CH 36

Breast Cancer Awareness Nails

Happy Friday! I haven't stamped my nails in almost 2 weeks and I feel so incomplete. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I decided to do some stamping to honor it. I used OPI Pink Friday and stamped using BM 321 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink. Have you ladies had a breast exam lately or at least performed a breast self-examination? Don't forget!

If Nautical Nonsense Be Something You Wish...

...SpongeBob SquarePants! Okay either you sang along or you think I'm a weirdo. I have some nautical nails for you lovelies today. I used Cheeky, Bundle Monster, and MASH plates to create it so I'll just get straight to it. 

Index: China Glaze Man Hunt stamped using MASH 46 in Konad White and then stamped using BM 206 in China Glaze Passion

Middle: China Glaze Hey Sailor stamped using CH 49 in China Glaze Passion

Ring: Zoya Purity stamped using CH 36 in Konad Red

China Glaze Summer Neons and BM 319

Good morning! Today I have something very bright to show you, so get out your sunglasses! I was playing around with my China Glaze Summer Neons and I came up with this. I used a base of Zoya Purity and then randomly sponged on China Glaze Orange You Hot?, Pink Plumeria, I'm with the Lifeguard, and Sun-Kissed and then stamped using BM 319 in Konad Black. Kind of funky, but I love these kinds of colorful manis =]

China Glaze Peachy Keen and Bundle Monster 305

Happy Saturday ladies! Do any of you ever have a lack of nail inspiration? I do sometimes, but no need to fear, Pinterest is here! I love getting ideas from the stuff I see on there. I saw a beautiful mani from Pshiiit and I immediately had to recreate it. She used tape to create this look, but lucky me, I found a stamp that reminded me of it. I used China Glaze Peachy Keen and stamped using BM 305 in Essie Good As Gold. I'm kind of loving these =]

Pink to Purple Gradient Cupcake Nails

Good morning! Today I have an adorable cupcake mani to show you. I can't believe I waited awhile before using this image, it's so cute. I first did a base of China Glaze Something Sweet and then did a gradient using China Glaze Something Sweet, China Glaze Dance Baby, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lively Lilac. Lastly, I stamped using BM 307 in Konad White. I just love how the stars and dots around the cupcake make it look so whimsical.

Zoya Purity and BM 322

Happy Friday lacquerheads! I just used this same stamping plate in my last post, but I love all the big patterns on it that I wanted to use it again. I decided to do a pink and white houndstooth design. I used Zoya Purity and stamped using BM 322 in Konad Psyche Pink. Can you see the pretty shimmer in Psyche Pink? The contrast of the pink and the white is much more noticeable in person and it looks so cute if I do say so myself! Mr. Heartnat even told me my nails look cool on his way out this morning. That must mean they're pretty awesome lol.

OPI Your Royal Shine-ness and BM 322

Hey loves! Do any of you ladies ever have a day where your nails are just not photographing right?! I'm having one of those days. I give up! Here's OPI Your Royal Shine-ness stamped using BM 322 in Konad Black. This polish was literally so shiny it was a pain to take pics of haha. I hope you all believe me when I say it looks much better in person! Enjoy!

OPI Did It On 'Em and Bundle Monster 319

Good morning beauties! Short post today because I'm in a rush to head to my parents house and pick up my nail mail lol. I used OPI Did It On 'Em and stamped using BM 319 in Konad Sky Pearl. I never realized the shimmer in the stamping polish before because I have only used it to stamp thin images, but the shimmer stands out and looks so pretty using this image with a thicker pattern!

Cinderella Inspired Nails

Good afternoon lacquerheads! I didn't want to take my rasta stripe mani off yet, but I don't have anything in the vault to post. When I took it off, I had no inspiration LOL. I decided to do something from my "to try list". One of them was a Cinderella inspired mani by The Nail Network. At least I got to use one of my manyyy untrieds for today. I used Sinful Colors Cinderella and stamped using BM 213 and RA 119 in Konad White.

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 31: Re-create Your Favorite Challenge

The day has finally came--the last day of the challenge! I loved being able to try out so many different styles throughout the past 31 days that I would normally avoid or be to scared to try. Today's theme is pretty open ended: re-create your favorite challenge. I wanted to do a watermarble or do another one inspired by a tutorial, but being the super honest person I am, I wanted to actually do my personal favorite. I always love to stamp flowers and I enjoy how stamps look over gradients, so I just did both (gradient and flowers). I did a gradient using Essie Orange It's Obvious, Essie Ole Caliente, and China Glaze Fuchsia Fanatic. I stamped using BM 318 in Konad Yellow. I hope everyone enjoyed my nail art for this challenge and thanks for all of the lovely comments!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 29: Inspired by the Supernatural

Good morning pretties! Today's theme is inspired by the supernatural. This challenge is one of my least favorites, both with the theme and how my mani turned out. Maybe I'm just being critical of myself, but it's my first time wearing gray polish ever and I'm not sure how I like it on me. I have stamps with haunted houses and stuff, but I didn't want it to turn into a Halloween mani so I didn't use much for this mani. I decided to stamp on top of a water marble so it wouldn't look plain either. I used a base of China Glaze Recycle and did a quick water marble using China Glaze Recycle and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out. I stamped using BM 223 in Konad White.
