Burberry - Oxblood No. 303

I finally got around to using Burberry Oxblood.  I love vampy colors and this one is going down as one of my favorites.    

Oxblood is a beautiful red wine color.  I used two coats with no top coat and they are still so shiny.

 Burberry polish is formulated with patent-pending technology,  a long-lasting high gloss finish with accelerated drying and hardening times.  

 The brush has been an issue with a few people, they didn't like how the hard  bristles made the application difficult around the edges.  I didn't have any problems with it, I thought it spread the polish nicely.  

 I didn't add any stamping to it, but I went ahead and added some gold detail that I'd bought from Aliexpress.

Chanel Sky Line

I don't know what happened, I got into a reading kick and that's all I wanted to do.  I finally came up for air and needed to do my nails.  I went with Chanel Sky Line.

 This is a silvery, periwinkle blue with issues.  The formula borders on being a metallic finish so be prepared for visible brush strokes.  I went ahead and dabbed on a third layer with a make up sponge to get rid of the brush strokes.

I added some designs using Red Angel plate RA-114 and KC Black

 The images are a bit small so I had to stretch them out with the squishy stamper.

Dance Legend - Thermo No. 177

I finally got around to using a thermo polish.  I went with Dance Legend Thermo No. 177 for my first.  I got this from Llarowe, it retails for $13.

 This is such a pretty almost pearly pink.

 I used three thin coats and the application was great.  

 Looks like a little pink tie dye when they get wet.

 This is such a bright pink in the sun.

 It changes from an almost white when hot to a pink when cold.

 Really quickly I played around and added designs using HD -B from Bunny nails and dark brown from Mundo de Uñas.

AIS - Sunday Challenge Green Base

Today's challenge over in the Facebook group Adventures in Stamping is to use a green base.

 I started off with a base of Dance Legend's Wazowski.  This is a multi chrome polish that shifts from blue, green, to gold.  I only see shades of green, but I still liked how it looks.

This is from the Chameleon collection, it retails for $8 at Llarowe.

 I stamped using the Emily de Molly plate EDM01 and the gold polish from Mundo de Uñas.

 I like how the gold works with the green.  I was also very happy with how well the stamping polish picked up all the fine little lines of the designs.

Black and White Feather Mani + Giveaway

  I have so many color combos running thru my head that I want to try and what do I do first?  A black and white mani.
I've always like the look of black and white nails.

I started off with a white base of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu!

 I didn't want a wham in your face white, so I went with a subtle softer white.  This took five coats to get it somewhat opaque.

 I used black feather accents that I bought from Aliexpress.

I need to work on the placement but overall I like the look of them.

Today is date night and we are going to see the new Captain America movie.  Which is great because I love breaking out the Hello Kitty as the Avengers water decals.

Oops I forgot to take a picture of just the base.

 For the base I used Zoya Song, SH Insta-dri Red-io Active and Paper Mache for FP.

These are the Hello Kitty as the Avengers water decals I picked from RLR Creations.

I used a couple of Sugar Bubbles plates to add the stars and stripes.

My First Hare polish and Nail Mail from Messy Mansion

As part of my last Llarowe haul I went ahead and purchased my first Hare polish.  

This is a quick swatch of Peepshow Magique, please excuse my cuticles.   This is a light sheer pink with gold flecks.

 This is pretty sheer, I used three coats and I still have visible nail lines.  I'm really happy with my first Hare, it has a nice formula, no smell and a good brush.  Plus it has a cute bunny on the bottle.

Now for the fun part,  I was part of a group buy for Messy Mansion plates and they came in today.  I added a few to my collection.   I got MM07, MM16, MM19, MM20, MM24, and newly released MM33, MM37, and MM38.  Group buys are a great way to save money on not only plates but on the shipping as well.

 I went ahead and tested plate MM20.
