I’ve been back from Florida (which has been great to me, by the way) since Saturday and have gone a bit crazy switching my manis out. So I bring to you a spam of pictures and manicures that I’ve done.

 Base: Rimmel Night Before

Stamped: Pure Ice Outrageous
Bundle Monster plate

 Base: Milani 3D (holographic collection)

Checkers: Zoya Savita

I wasn’t nuts about this one. You Just Wait would make a nice base for a muted down french, but I couldn’t get the french tip stamp to cooperate with me.. See how they all kind of lopside?

 Base: Sinful Colors You Just Wait
Stamped: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Bundle Monster plate

 Base: Essie Nice is Nice (From their Spring 2011 collection)

Stamped: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade
Konad

I bring to you my official favorite yellow as of now. Needs about three coats as it is streaky, but evens out and builds up nicely. Also looked great on me.

Avon Sunshine

What I have on now. Nummy. 

Avon Powerful Pink with Nfu Oh 48 layered over.

Cherish Matte

 Began with OPI Thanks So Muchness! then layered Nfu Oh 52 over it…

 It actually had a strong green tinted shimmer, but the camera insisted on picking up blue. Pretty though 😀

Stamped China Glaze Cherish, a green chrome, with a Konad m64 plate. Then mattified the whole thing down with China Glaze Matte Magic.

Lessons learned? While painting Seche Vite over the flakies so it would dry faster for the stamping, that particular layer has shrunk over time and last night it was verging on just plain gross. It was pulling up so we would see red-orange around the cuticles, and it looked downright grotesque, even with a shimmer so it looked legit! Eww.

Skully!

 Nfu Oh 64, Wet N Wild Black Creme stamped over accent nail.

 Purty pink holo ahh

This marks the end of my Valentine themed manicure week, and good thing too. I was getting very very tired of all the pinks and reds!! So this is my way of going out with a bang 🙂
