Pinky-Purple with Newsprint

Holy newspaper! To get this effect, paint your nails with a medium to light shade of polish. For optimum visibility of the newsprint, use white. Next, dip a piece of newsprint in rubbing alcohol. Press onto the (VERY dry) nail for 20 seconds. Remove newsprint, and follow with a topcoat!

Black Roses on Petal Pink

This week I stayed simple...Not sure if I like this rose design- it's a bit crude, kinda lumpy...But, in other news...
I'M ENGAGED!!! WHOOHOO! Man, what kind of wedding nails should I do?

Plate Organizer

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT: Konad plates are a pain in the butt to organize. What the crap Konad? you want us to collect these things or not? Where's the cute pink plate organizer in my brain? MAKE IT NOW. I did a little digging around, and found that this organizer for I think Magic: The Gathering cards works perfectly. I just ordered one...I'll let you all know how it goes! you can purchase your own here.

Stamp Layering Part II- The Reckoning

I liked the mani I did yesterday so much that I decided to try out a couple different color combinations on my toesies. I think they're pretty cute, but I like my fingernails better.

Layered Stamps

Holy cRAAAAAp I'm in love with this polish!On top of a yellow base, I layered a pink Bundle Monster flower stamp in pink, then in black. EEEEEEE! I made sure to tun the stamps opposing directions to create a more layered effect. The accent ring-finger nail I'm not as jazzed about. But hell, the rest look kick-ass, so I'm happy. Maybe this mani will last more than a day...The top-coat I'm holding, Rush 60-Second High Speed Top Coat, is the BEST for sealing in nail stamps. Slower-drying topcoats can smear the design, but this stuff is, how do you say?...Effin' awesome.
