Gamer Girl

Hi all today I have for you Born Pretty's #7 holographic. #7 is a sea foam green that is really pretty but not great for one to two coats without visible nail lines...I did use nude as a base color for that very reason. 

Here is how I stamped it. I used KleanColor Mettalic Black and Mettalic Green.

I loved this! I'm a gamer chick...I play many games and as soon as I saw this plate I knew it was perfect for me. 

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi everyone and happy thanksgiving. Today I'm showing you Born Pretty's orange holo (born pretty has these numbered) # 5 . I started with one coat of a nude and then added two coats of #5 . I know I have said this already but adding the nude under the color does change the color but I just want you to be aware.  Here is this lovely orange holographic by born pretty. 

I really like the stamp I added to this it made it feel very fall. I stamped this with KleanColor Metallic Orange and Metallic Green. The stamped I used was Bundle Monster BM- H11.

I wanted to thank you our readers for taking the time and reading on our blog. 

I hope everyone that is celebrating Thanksgiving and all of you that aren't have a wonderful day. 

13 Days of Halloween 2013...Day 4 Dancing Bones

Hi all today I have for you is day four of the thirteen days of Halloween. I used Sally Hansen Loves Me Not as my base which is a lovely purple glitter polish. I stamped first with KleanColor Metallic Green and the line stamp from Bundle Monster's Create Your Own (2013) stamping set. I then used a white for the skeleton stamp also from Create Your Own stamping set. Here it is....

I couldn't fit the whole skeleton on my nails so I figured I would stamp them different ways...I see these as dancing. I hope you like these I was really happy with how they turned out. 

Floam tip

Hi all today I have for you FLOAM tips :) I got floam from a contest I won. I actually thought I wouldn't like it but boy was I wrong! I have worn floam by it self but it was a tad thick so I decided to change it up...so today I put on KleanColor Metallic Green (one coat). I then did a gradient with floam I really liked how this turned out!

I really like how KC Metallic Green gives floam a nice background..so it blends with floam instead of having to pack it on so it has full coverage.

Do you own something like floam that reminds you of a childhood toy that you just loved?

A diamond in the snow?!

Hello! Recently I found Sally Hansen Prisms Diamond at ROSS! I first wore it to see Breaking Dawn with my sister! The polish just fits for the movie so I had to wear it! It's a beautiful holographic! This is 3 thin coats of Diamond.

 I then wanted to try out some nail art.. Snowman time!!! I used Ruby Kisses French White for snow and snowman, KleanColor Metallic Black for the buttons and eyes, KC Metallic Blue-Red-Green-Pink-Purple for scarfs, and Barielle Cashmere or Leave Me for arms...I topped off the snow on the ground (tip of my nail) with Nubar 2010 to make it look like reflective!

I think it turned out really cute and was happy with it!

Are you a snow person? Or would you rather be on a beach sipping a cold beverage?

Gobble Gobble!

Hi everyone.... I don't put away my Halloween colors just because Halloween is over oh no! I use them for Fall....actually depending on the color I might just use them year-round... So a little while back I was thinking since Thanksgiving is coming up I wanted to try to make something that I remember making (and seeing from my niece and nephew) while I was in school...ya know the really colorful Turkeys that have different color feathers! Ok so with that in mind I just wanted a children like turkey and I know I'm not great at free-hand nail art but I had to try!

So I started with Wet 'N Wild Creepy Pumpkin 3 thin coats! I wanted to background to just sparkle and this was a great choice!

I then picked out my stamp BM15, and of course going for little kid turkey I picked very colorful colors for my turkey in KleanColor Metallic- Green, Purple, and Red.

I then borrowed a brown and red from my sister and got to work! I had my dotting tools so I started with making a head for my ring finger I wanted a full body turkey. I made some eyes (using a white and black) then a beak...

My turkeys are on the look out for people!

I hope those that are celebrating Thanksgiving this week will spend it with family or friends and have a wonderful day.

I hope you all have a wonderful day today!

Do you have a favorite dish at Thanksgiving/Holiday time? 

Here Lizard Lizard!

Zoya Harlow-I sit here and think of what I could say about her and all I want you to do is look at the pictures so today will be nice and quick! Zoya Harlow is a magenta matte that has silver shimmer to it!

 I needed something to compete with Harlow's color and not be drowned out by it so I picked KleanColor Metallic Green and stamped it with a lizard.

Even though the Lizard didn't fit all the way across my nail I liked how this turned out! I hope you enjoyed today! 

Edyta multiplied by 2!

Hello so for day 2 of Zoya week I picked out Zoya's Edyta...So if you are wondering about the multiplied by 2 well there are 2 days I was doing swatching for Zoya Week and I wasn't sure of the first pictures because the konading didn't turn out the way I wanted! Both sets of pictures are 3 thin coats. Edyta is described (from Zoya's site) as a complex mixture of gold, olive, blue-green and smoky grey with a sparkling metallic finish. 

Set one begins

So this was the first swatch set.  I used BM21 to stamp with KleanColor Metallic Yellow and although I could see it fine in person the camera could not capture the way the stamping blended in well with Edyta! It finished it off nicely.

Set 2 ....

 Now I wasn't going to cover  Edyta with a stamp but while looking through my plates BM221 stood out to me.  After looking through the pictures I knew the metallic yellow wouldn't stand out enough to be noticeable in pictures so I tried the Metallic Green from KleanColor and was very happy with the way it turned out....

Now I know I didn't line up the stamp into the middle of my finger or anything but I like that it's a little off...

I hope you enjoyed Edyta today and I hope you come back tomorrow to see what Zoya we have planned next! 

Do you tend not to wear bright colors in the fall and winter time? 

I don't mind bright colors myself but tend to gravitate towards darker colors!

Success!

Today  is a fabulous day! So today I have my first successful water marble manicure! I say success because it wasn't gloppy mess! I used 3 colors only (and shhh no base except a regular base coat- which I think was LA Colors base coat).. I used all KleanColor -Metallic Fuschia, Metallic Green, and Metallic Black. Now the reason I tried it with no base coat was because I wasn't really going to keep it on...because of my last failure with water marbling. These turned out wonderful (I think at least) Now being a follower of My Simple Little Pleasures I fell in love with water marbling but it never turned out ok when I have tried it...I love my ring and index finger the most! So lets take a look ^_^

 A bit Blurry but I had to show it off anyway!

Now on my Index finger I was trying for a star she did last year for Christmas time  I know I will keep trying water marbling now that I have found some polish that works and feel a little bit more confident! I love these colors...but boy was this messy even with tape I had a big clean up job!

Tell me have you tried water marbling? What are your favorite colors to mix and match (even for a regular manicure) I would love to know!
Until next time Ladies!

The Cat's meow!

Hiya! Today is a quickie.... I have  China Glaze Cross Iron 360 (3 thin coats pictures taken inside...first and third picture with flash second picture no flash)

I took this baby out for a spin the other day and I thought I needed a little Holiday MEOW! to it! So I took out my KleanColor Metallic's (they stamp so awesome!)...picked up Metallic black and Green...picked out my stamps and went to work! (stamps M57 and BM13) Now I wanted something a little different and in real life the spider from BM13 showed up great but went to take pictures (btw it's the green shimmery stuff you see on the nails is the spider) it just didn't turn out right.

 I like the Meow this manicure has and to me. It had just enough meow you could wear it with your cat costume this year or even just cat ears!

Halloween cutie!

Hello! Today I have the winner for our contest and the guy that helped me pick that lucky lady!

 This is Elvis and he helped me pick our winner who is Debby L. Congrats to Debby!!!

I also have a quick Monster update for everyone! I thought I could give him another try with a twist. I started out with KleanColor Metallic Green (2 coats). I then cut up a sticker so I could cover the face with my silver crackle (Cherimoya 2012 Apocalypse) and not the hair area.

 I then painted the hair line with China Glaze Black Mesh (crackle) .

 I added eyeballs and a mouth (I don't like the mouth so much)....the eyes I did dots of black, white, then black again!

I think this turned out really well and it was easy to do!

What are you doing on your nails for Halloween?

Until next time! Enjoy your day!
