YELLOW FISHNET

This was a mani that I did over the weekend and I liked it so much I actually kept it on for a few days. I liked how bright and sunny it looked. I usually don't like the way that yellows look on me, but I really liked this one. Using the white for the fishnet konad stamp really toned down the brightness of the yellow and the Golden Enchantment really made it sparkle in the sunshine.

I didn't get around to taking this pictures until this morning, so as you will see, my mani is chipped in a couple of places.

LICKETY-SPLIT LIME JELLY

For my nails last night, I went for something BRIGHT! For the base coat I used LA Colors in teal (no name on the polish) and I stamped with Sally Hansen - Lickety-Split Lime. It doesn't get much brighter, does it? I was going to stamp skulls and cross bones but I decided on the animal print instead.

HEY! YOU PICKED IT!

Today I have for you all the mani that you picked out for my mom. You all chose:

Purple Nail Color
Creme Finish
Konad Plate M57

I painted my mom's nails with one of my beloved TiNS nail polishes last week and she has been wearing the heck out of it, so that's what took so long on this mani. The TiNS are really so pretty you MUST wear it until the wheels fall off - so to speak :)

Anyway, on to this mani. I spared my mom the animal print - but I was really tempted to use it! I decided to paint the base color using the LA Colors Purple I swatched the other day. I then used the fishnet pattern and NYC - Royal Foil - a purple, foil polish. Then I used the flower pattern from the same plate and China Glaze - Passion and stamped on the flowers. For the final touch, a little clear jewel was added to the center of each flower. I wasn't real impressed with this mani as I got started on it, but the little jewels really added a nice cherry on the top!


Thanks again to all who helped select My Mom's Next Mani!

BLUE HAWAII

This is my nail of the day. For the base I used two coats of China Glaze - Sky High-Top. Then I stamped the fishnet pattern using Konad plate #M57 and used Sally Hansen - Brisk Blue for the stamp polish. Last I used China Glaze - Passion and Konad plate #M29 to stamp the images. I really like the look of the two blues together, they make such a nice pattern that stands out yet isn't so bold you can't stamp another image over the top.
