Teal Tuesdays - Stars

Ok, sorry I lied...I didn't come back with a gradient mani like I promised for last Friday and I actually ended up taking a couple of days off from doing my nails, but I've been working overtime and feeling just too tired to do my nails, but you're in luck I have a great lineup for the rest of the week. But for now it's Teal Tuesdays and we voted on stars. Here's what I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Rise and Shine for my base, 1 coat of Zoya Ivanka over the Rise and Shine, and Sinful Colors Black on Black for my stamping polish. For my ring finger and thumb I used Cheeky Plate CH26, and for the other fingers I used Bundle Monster Plate BM05. I top coated each nail with Seche Vite, Enjoy the photos! BTW In realy life you could see the teal shinging through but in these pictures all you can see is the green in Ivanka.

My Homage to Wacky Laki

As you all know I posted last week that I will be participating in Homage Month for the month of April. You can find out what it is by clicking here. This is my homage to Wacky Laki, she was one of the first people I started following when I first got into blogging. Her designs and pictures are always perfect and I really enjoy reading her blogs. I decided to choose her mani Under the Sea because I loved the title and loved how it looked. Unfortunately I do not have a stamp plate with a image of a mermaid so I couldn't complete the mani. I did my best to recreate her wonderful mani and hope she will get to see this homage post for her. She is a real inspiration not to only me but to many others as well. Thank you Anutka for taking the time to write and share with us your great posts!

I started off with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Rise and Shine for my base.

I then sponged on Ulta Wild Night and Sally Hansen The Real Teal. After I stamped using Red Angel image plate RA-111 and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep. Added the black tips by taping my nail and using Wet N Wild Black Creme. Here was the outcome.

Can't wait to pay homage to more of the ladies who inspire me!
