Graffiti Lace in Lincoln Park

Hi there!

I wanted to use some of my metallics, so I chose 3 to stamp over yesterday's manicure...


My nails painted with OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Suede.
Stamped with Konad image plate M70.


I used...

From left to right: OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Suede,
China Glaze - Passion, Sally Hansen - Ruby Chrome,
Nicole by OPI - Positive Energy, Seche Vite, double sided
stamper, scraper, and Konad plate M70.

All of the polishes are fairly new except Ruby Chrome. It's suuuper old, so I'm not sure you'll be able to find it in a store. Each of the colors I stamped with were very easy to work with, but I think any brand of metallic gold, pink, or silver would work for stamping this image.

Until next time...

Yellowy Goodness

Hi there!

I was messing around with my file today and I decided to play with a new nail shape. Then I wanted to make my nails pop with a bright color. Yellow works...


My nails painted with China Glaze - Happy Go Lucky,
from the Up & Away collection.


I wasn't done playing, so I broke out the Konad image plates. I chose plate M70.

The yellow went on quite streakily. You'll need a steady hand if you want to use this color. 1 coat would not suffice and 2 coats were iffy - so I used 3.

I really enjoy the color. So, yay for that.

Yuck for my new nail shape, though. It was fun to try, but since my nails grow inward at the tips it doesn't make sense for a square shape. Tomorrow, I'll start easing my way back into rounded tips :-)

When was the last time you tried a new nail shape?

Until next time...
