'MURICA! HECK YEAH!!

This didn't start out as a red. white & blue mani, but it kinda turned in to one.  What's crazy is the "red" part was actually done using pinks.  I guess the pinks next to the blue had more of a red shade to them or something, because I just instantly thought patriotic mani.

For the speckle nails I used Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots in Blue Marks the Spot and Pretty in Polka.  For the texture nails I used China Glaze Texture in Of Coarse and Itty, Bitty & Gritty.  I did a sponge gradient using the same two colors on my thumbs.

I then stamped my nails using konad special polish in white and two Mo-You London plates.  One from the Time Travellers Back to the 70's plate #03 and Pro XL plate # 01.

PINK LEMONADE

Hello!  First off, sorry for no posts this week so far, my little girl has been sick and that has left literally no time for nail stuff.  She got hand, foot, mouth disease and we have been dealing with that all weekend and up through yesterday.  It's been painful for her, but it's finally run it's course and she is well on her way to feeling like her old self again.

When I painted my base colors I was getting a pink lemonade vibe with this.  I really liked it.  Once I added the stamp though I was getting a cheap leopard print costume vibe, lol.  It's still cute and summery, and I love pink and yellow together.  Yellow isn't one of the colors I use very much, but this shade looked pretty good with my skin tone.  I did use a white base under neath both of these colors in hopes of really getting them to POP!

I used OPI - Hotter Than You Pink from the new summer neons collection.  The yellow is Loreal - Bananarama Love.  Then I used J brand nail polish in Snow Red.  Lastly, I stamped a leopard print design (my go to black Kleancolor #05 black) using Mo-You London Time Traveller 80's Collection plate # 04.

DRUNK DIALING?? IN THIS CASE, YES!!

Today I'm showing off a fabulous polish by Super Black Lacquers.  This one is called Drunk Dial.  I love this color!  It's a super pretty violet purple jelly base with orange, red and holo yellow glitters.  A color combo I wouldn't think would work, but man does it WERK!  I wanted to stamp it, but I didn't want to completely cover the polish up, so I went for a more open all over stamp and used black that just kind of blended in without taking away from Drunk Dial.  I used one of my new stamping obsessions Mo-You London to stamp the design with.  I used a plate from the Time Travellers set, the 70's #02 plate.

EDIT: I forgot to add - I used Kleancolor nail polish in black to stamp with, bought for $1.00 - look how wonderful it stamped!!  Just as good as konad.
