Delicate Flowers...Days 14 & 15

Ok here it goes! I am rushing through this post to try and beat midnight! O_O I've been slacking off a bit lately and I need to get ahead of the game here! I apologize.

Today is day15 of the 31 day challenge but, since I missed day 14, I decided to combine the 2!

I started off with 2 coats of L'Oreal VIP Status...

VIP Status is a lovely charcoal color with a kind of blue undertone.

The formula is awesome, 2 coats gave full opacity and it is very forgiving if spots are missed, which I tend to do, you can go back over those spots and it blends well.

Then using Bundle Monster stamp plate BM-318 I stamped hibiscus flowers with Essie No Place Like Chrome.

I'm still working on perfecting my stamping skills but I LOVE stamping with the Essie Mirror Metallics. They are thick enough to make stamping so much easier for someone who gets the process but hasn't got it down pat yet.

I felt it was lacking something, and it was still a bit to severe in contrast to be "delicate" so I wanted to add something and decided on Finger Paints Flecked.

This is my first time using a flakie. I have to say I am in Love! I love the texture it brings to the mani without being overpowering like normal glitter can be. This particular bottle was a prize in a giveaway that I recently won.

I decided I wanted to make this a matte mani to make it even more subtle so I used my new butterLondon Matte Finish.

Unfortunately in my excitement over using 2 new polishes I forgot to take pictures before I mattified it! Sorry! It was just as lovely all shinny as it is matte, at least I thought so.

Sorry about all the pictures I just couldn't get enough! LOL

31 Day Challenge: Day 10 "Gradient"

Sorry this is so late but I had a busy and emotional weekend with my stepdaughter. It's very hard on her living so far away, so we had a rough couple of days. :(

Left to Right:

Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet

Sinful Colors Exotic Green

Sinful Colors Last Chance

Orly Mermaid Tale

I decided that since the Weeds finale is tonight I would make my gradient nails into Weeds nails! I am sad I wont get to watch the Botwins get into any more trouble until next season.

So without further ado here is my day 10 mani!

I have to say I wasn't sure about Mermaid Tale, I only bought it because it was on sale at Sally's, but I am so happy I did. It's much prettier once applied than it looks in the bottle.

I stamped my "weeds" with stamp plate BM-07

I hope you like my gradient nails! Don't forget to check out all the other gradients done by the lovely ladies listed below!

Also, don't forget to be a GFC/Twitter follower or like my Facebook fan page! Once we reach 100 on one of them I will have my first giveaway, and I've been collecting a lot of goodies for the occasion!

Now I'm off to go see the other mani's and to watch my Weeds! Thank goodness for DVR!

31 Day Challenge...Day 3 "Yellow"

Yellow is not really my favorite color. Maybe that's why I wasn't too into this assignment in the challenge. I had no ideas but I knew I wanted to use a yellow I haven't used yet.

I settled on Sinful Colors Lets Meet and Orly After Party

That's 3 coats, it's still a tad sheer but covered well enough that I didn't want to add a 4th.

Then I used my BM - 304 with After Party to make my smiley faces and scotch tape for the tips.

After doing this I have come to the realization I need to invest in stamping polish.

Yes my polish worked but it just isn't dark enough for my taste. The difference in opacity between the stamp and the tips is too drastic

So this is my yellow for day 3. I hope I can get more creative after this one. I was just stumped.

And as always, please go visit the other ladies participating in this challenge to see their creations!

2 Challenges 1 Post, Cheater, Cheater, Orange Eater!

Well hello all! I decided, after much debate, to do just one post for both of the challenges that I have homework due for today...My Favorite Food for the My Favorite Things Challenge by Ooh La La Polish and the Color Orange for the 31 Day Challenge by Kimber's Lacquer Korner. I was going to go with Sushi but lets face it I just didn't feel up to drawing/painting all those little rolls and sashimi pieces...I know, I suck! So I went with one of my favorite fruits. I know I went easy, but who really doesn't like oranges???? They ARE amazing! Hello!

For this post I used an array of orange hues.

D&R Apothecary Clownin Around

and Sinful Colors Pull Over, Clementine and Citrine.

I started off with 2 coats of Pull Over. (Don't mind the oops on my middle finger, it disappears once I get to the next step) Now I am fairly sure this color is a dupe for China Glaze Sun Worshiper which I used fairly recently. I may need to do a comparison post soon because application was completely different on these 2 brands. Anyway...

I decided on a sponged gradient look. Don't mind my polish encrusted water glass there, I use it for my water marbling and for sponging so it gets a bit gookie.

See, no more oops on my middle finger! =)

This was 2 sponged applications. ^^^

I then used Sinful Colors Snow Me White with BM-308 to stamp on my oranges.

I had a horrible stamping night with this look. It took me like a million and one tries before I finally just said foooook it and just left them all jacked up! I was fed up, I don't care!

And applied a coat of D&R Apothecary Clownin Around.

I have used a few of D&R's polishes now and this one is probably my least favorite. It has a nice shimmery orange base and a TON of multi colored, sized and shaped glitters but it was almost impossible to get the glitter out of the bottle. No matter how hard and how long I shook it they mostly stuck to the side and bottom of the bottle.

So here is my orange orange challenge mani....thank god this one was finished!

Make sure to check out the other girls in both of these challenges!

31 Day Challenge - Day 1 "Red"

So I must be a little bit crazy, because I decided to join a second challenge. This one is brought to us by Kimber at Kimber's Lacquer Korner. She has a whole bunch of cool things on our challenge. I must say I am a bit nervous too, there are a few things I haven't tried out yet and I'm so afraid I'm going to fail! I'll be the first to admit, If I'm afraid to fail I usually wont even try! But i vow to try and even if it is a miserable failure I will still show all of you my horrendous work of art! ;)
