Gray Butterflies

I have a busy week coming up at work, so I wanted to do something that wouldn't look bad when it starts to chip, haha! So I went with my much-loved Nina Ultra Pro "Spun Sugar," and stamped my ring fingers and thumbs with the butterfly design on Konad plate m20 using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Grey Area."

I bought this and a couple other Konad plates when I first started stamping, and have barely touched them since, so it was nice to pull this one back out.

Vine Buffet

I wanted to do something a little lighter today, so I did a nude base of Nina Ultra Pro in "Spun Sugar," and stamped with Wet n Wild in "White Creme." I used the vine design on Pueen plate #55 from the new Stamping Buffet.

I'm totally digging the larger designs! Once again, no two nails are alike, but they all match.

Winter Wonderland

Well, it's been a while! For the last couple weeks, I've been so busy with holiday stuff, I've barely had time to sleep, let alone touch up my nails or do a design that wouldn't last more than a few days. So I just did a solid silver and then a solid nude color. But I wanted to do something a little different for Christmas day.

This is Nina Ultra Pro in "Spun Sugar" with stamped designs from BM-416 in Pure Ice "Superstar!" Originally I wanted to do that snowflake/sweater design on both ring fingers, but after two attempts, I still couldn't get it straight on my left hand, so I said, "Ok, forget it," and went for the penguin design on the same plate, instead.

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:
