Silver Scribbles

I've had my eye on this crazy scribbly design from Pueen plate #47 for a while. Playing off my previous mani, I stamped in Stripe Rite silver (sorry, I don't see an actual color name on the bottle) on top of OPI for Sephora "Just a Little Dangerous," and used OPI for Sephora "It's Bouquet with Me" on my ring fingers.

My husband asked me the other day what's up with doing something different on your ring fingers. I don't know, it's just a thing...

Party Pink

I don't have any kind of special event coming up, I just thought this would look fun, and it does! I used OPI for Sephora "Henna-Thing is Possible," stamped with the swirly/vine design from Bundle Monster plate BM-406 in Pure Ice "Black Out." Then on my ring fingers, I have Finger Paints "Van Gogh's Violet" (which looks more glittery in the bottle than it is on your fingers - this was three coats).

Fun fun fun!

Also wanted to mention, I've been using Seche Vite top coat because I heard it doesn't make stamping streak so much, and so far, so good!

Pinned it and Did it: Gray Feather

I find a lot of inspiration photos on Pinterest and Instagram, but I've never tried to really duplicate one before. I really liked the look of this one, though, and I just got these Bundle Monster plates, so I decided to try it. It was easy enough, and I think it turned out well, except at first glance the pink nails look like I forgot to paint them...

I don't know what colors were used in the original, but I used OPI for Sephora "Dance Til Fawn" for the gray and Nina Ultra Pro "Spun Sugar" for the pink (just picked this up at Sally and I love the color!), and the feather is from plate BM-419. Here's the original next to my version:

Silver Damask

I spent the last week wearing novelty Sally Hansen nail strips: black and white music notes, for my concert band performance last weekend. I got more comments and compliments on that manicure than anything I've ever done, but I was ready to do some stamping again.

I love this color combination! This is Revlon "Black with Envy" stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in "Silver Sweep" (possibly my favorite polish for stamping now). I used the damask/fleur-de-lis design on Pueen plate #14. I haven't had much luck with this type of design in the past because I'm not too good at getting the design on my nail straight, but actually I did ok on 9 out of 10 nails this time.

Swirly Silver Flowers

I haven't had time to do any nail art or stamping recently! For the last couple weeks, I've needed to just get my nails done and go. But I'm back. I actually wasn't planning on stamping when I painted my nails a couple nights ago with OPI for Sephora "Just a Little Dangerous," but tonight I picked up Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in "Silver Sweep" and decided to jazz things up a little.

Originally I intended to do something more straight-lined, but then I noticed this swirly, flowery design on Pueen plate #13 and decided to use it. I like the way it turned out!
