Two for One Sunday

So this is my second mani, I really messed up the first one which was for AIS.  Since I removed it I decided to go with a Mother's Day mani instead.

 Started off with Tom Ford's Fever Pink

 It's a dream of an application, no bubbles or streaks, almost a one coater.  This is another polish I found at the Orlando CCO while I was vacationing there earlier this year.

 Broke out the Konad polishes, and the MJ plate II to stamp all the baby images.

 Here is the first mani I had on, it was for Sunday's challenge for the facebook group, Adventure in Stamping.  This weeks challenge was to be inspired from your favorite Fairytale, my choice was the Little Mermaid.  It did not come out like I expected it to.

 So what better  color to use for a Little Mermaid mani than Sinful Colors Neptune.

 It's a nice shimmery blue and for $1, can't beat that.

 I used the MJ Special Edition plate to make the Little Mermaid decals, Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian.  They were a pain, the details are so small I was going cross eyed trying to fill them in.  The Seahorse is from Cheeky plate 38.

Nail Mail 4/25/13

Snoopy Dance!!

There's nothing like going to the mail box and finding boxes in there.  It's like Christmas in April.  I only have two packages to show you today, but I'm still excited.

The first are nail stamping plates from My Online Shop.  Which you can purchase from Ninja Polish (here), for $18.75.

This is the Special Edition plate.  It is full of different cartoon characters like piglet, barney, Disney Princess's and I think this will be my favorite plate.

This is the Hello Kitty Plate.  I love the Hello Kitty as Darth Vador.

Plate Xll has the Mario's I've been looking for.

Plate X, I picked this one for the full nail designs.

So I'll be testing the images tomorrow, and I'll get back to you with the results:)

The second package is my mothers day gift from my girls, and it's from Chanel.  They have good taste. Living in a small town means any high end product needs to be ordered.  So I'll usually order from Chanel or my favorite Nordstrom.  The Le Vernis are now $27.

I got two of the Le Vernis from the new summer collection.   

Since I can't have enough blues or teals I picked Azure, and Bel-Argus.  

Just a quick swatch, they are so bright in real life.  I tried a butterfly mani, which was horrible but the colors looked great next to the black.  Will definitely be trying that again. 

 They are both metallic finishes which does make the application a little streaky.  You can still see the brush strokes; but I could just sponge on a third layer to get rid of the brush strokes.

Well that's all for today, TTFN!
