Happy Friday Eve!! Today’s nail art starts with two coats of Zoya Tina which was originally sent to me as a press sample. Then, I used It Girl Marina stamping polish for this faux watermarble design from a Bundle Monster plate.

Today I have a swatch and nail art for you today! I used GlitterDaze I Need Kelp which is from the February 2016 subscription box. This beauty is a mint crelly with gold glitters in it. I think it’s very pretty.

Today’s nail art look is subtle, but I really like it. I started with two coats of Zoya Eastyn which was sent to me as a press sample. I used this filigree design from It Girl Nail Art Plate IG106 which was also sent as a press sample. I used my Bundle Monster silver stamping polish which I have seriously been neglecting. I usually reach for Konad or Mundo de Unas but I really wanted to stamp with silver. Turns out, my only silver stamping polish is Bundle Monster…and I forgot how good it is! It stamped just as well as the others so I don’t know why I’m always ignoring it.

Today’s post is for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts Challenge. This week’s prompt is “Things that Fly”. I was racking my brain to think of what I should do. I really want to break out of my go-to method of stamping something. I can’t freehand at all and I didn’t even know what I’d draw if I could. I was at a total loss. Then, I realized that the TARDIS flies! Duh! I suddenly got very excited to do this prompt. I did a galaxy mani first (thusly breaking out of my stamping rut). To make the TARDIS, I made a decal using the Bliss Kiss Simply Neat Miracle Mat. (I did a full review on this awesome mat earlier this week.) The TARDIS can be found on My Online Shop Stamping plate Plate XII.
A lot of polishes went into the making of this mani.
Mango Bunny Polish Snow Cold
Pretty Serious Type 40
Bundle Monster Black
Seven Heartless
Morgan Taylor All White Now
Orly Hot Tropics

For this black flowers nail art, I started with two coats of Seven Cosmetics Cherry on Top. Then, I used Mundo de Unas Black and a design from Bundle Monster plate BM-XL206.
I really like the partial design this stamping design gives. It makes the flowers a bit of an accent rather than the focus of the nail.

Today’s mani starts with an impulse buy at the counter of Sally Beauty Supply. I saw this adorable little polish called Sally Girl Peppermint and just couldn’t help myself! I’m also pretty sure that it’s scented as peppermint but maybe my mind was playing tricks on me? I did a little stamping on top using the Bundle Monster and Lucy’s Stash collaboration plate. The stamping polish was Konad Black.
Here is a plain swatch of Sally Girl Peppermint. I did need to do three coats for full opacity. This polish perfectly captures peppermint!

I let myself get a little rusty with my stamping! I couldn’t believe how crooked these turned out! I guess if you don’t do something for a while, the skill does atrophy! This was the first nail art I’d done in at least a week because I’d been feeling ill. I was still painting my nails, but didn’t have the energy for art. My swan dive back into nail art was a bit more of a belly flop! LOL! But at least I’m back in the pool, right??
