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.

This mani didn’t really see the light of the day.. literally 😛 (Check out that stamping smudge/hole in my thumb!) I applied it over night, in a total rush to get to bed, then when I woke I realized I was NOT in a red mood. So I swiped it off, and it stained my pinky red.
Base: OPI Off With Her Red! Stamping color: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep.

Started off with OPI Ski Teal We Drop (which stained my hands horribly btw this is why I rarely wear teals/blues!!)
A layer of OPI Paris Couture For Sure glitter topcoat, which I LOVE. It doesn’t behave like an actual glitter and by that I mean it doesn’t stick on like barnacles to your nail bed, and then get in everywhere– your face, your hair, your hands, arms, bra… It comes right off 😀
Taped off the sections for the blue stripes.
I like this a lot, so shiny 😀

My friend Robert (the matron of our friend circle) decided that he’d like his nails done, and I came up with a blue scheme for him, and he picked the star stamp out of the Bundle Monster collection.
This shows the colors slightly better…
We were trying to figure out the best “hand pose” to show all of the nails as the stars are each in different places, and we tried this one– lol, cthulhu much? 😀
Colors used: OPI What’s With the Cattitude? for base, and OPI Who the Shrek Are You? for the darker blue star.
