Challenge Day 14 - Flowers

 My absolute favorite flower are Stargazer Lillies. In fact my birth month flower (May) are Lillies. I saw this tutorial from Chalkboard Nails and just knew I had to do it. The base is China Glaze White on White, the pink is sponged on Sinful Colors Boom Boom (don't you just love the name?), the dark pink dots are Petites Pink Crush using a dotting tool and the green is Sally Hansen Ivy League.

Adventures in Stamping - A Plate Ending in 9

I haven't had a chance to do a Stamping Sunday challenge in such a long time, I'm happy I was able to do a mani for this challenge beacuse it's Debbie (The Crumpet's) daughters birthday. So we were able to choose either a celebration mani, a plate ending in 9, or a birthday mani. I decided to choose a plate ending in 9. I used Cheeky Plate CH29 and used every image that was on that plate. I used Color Club Pardon My French for my base, stamped with Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and Sally Hansen Red Chrome. For the tips I taped them off and used, Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and KleanColor Chunky Holo Fuchsia.

Here's a swatch of Color Club Pardon My French:

Red Carpet

Happy Valentines Day!!! Yes it is the day of love and I'm bummed I wasn't able to do something sweet for my boyfriend. I went to the mall last night in a rush to buy him the shoes he keeps talking about but they were sold out of his size so I had to order them and now they won't be here for another week. Yes I know I waited and should have went earlier but I had this whole surprise planned out for him. Oh well just going to keep my surprise to myself in case I end up doing it for another occasion. On to the mani...Since we celebrated V-day on Sunday and went out to dinner at Pier 70 Aqua by El Gaucho which was AHH-mazing!! The service was good, the food was delicious and the view was fantastic, I highly recoommend the place if you are looking to impress anyone. For the mani I started with Sally Hansen Red Carpet, which is a beautiful red which reminds me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's glittery shoes.


As you can see it sparkles just right

Then decided to do something fun and funky so using scotch tape I take off my nails and used Sinful Color Black on Black to get a fun effect. Also added some hearts to my ring fingers and also my thumbs but I forgot to take a picture of those, sorry. For the hearts I used my Konad stamper and Bundle Monster plate, the polish was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep.



When I was all finished I showed my nails to Allan (my boyfriend) and asked him what he thought. He looked at them and said they look like chocolate covered strawberries and it makes me want to eat them. I then had to look at them one more time and laughed my ass off. But it turned out perfect to me.
