School of Fish!

I played with OPI Sheer Tints once before here. I haven't had much chance then but here is another look I created for this week!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Floaties (peach), OPI Alcatraz Rock (dark purple liquid sand), and OPI My Vampire Is Buff (creamy white). I stamped over white nails with fish design from MoYou London Sailor Collection 04. I used Konad Black Pearl stamping polish. Then I used OPI Sheer Tints to swipe little colors on fish for colorful look!

I really like how it came out. The fish in various colors are so cute! 

I also like the combination of Alcatraz Rock and Floaties together. I should use them togheter again sometime. 

Have you experimented with OPI Sheer Tints?

Dragonflies with Lily Anna 03!

I am still excited about my Lily Anna plates! This time I used dragonfly design from plate 03.

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Mint Candy Apple (light blue), Essie Bobbing For Baubles (navy) and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pearl Up (white jelly). I stamped the dragonfly image from Lily Anna plate 03 with Color Club Harp On It (holographic) on navy nails and used Essie Bobbing For Baubles on white nails. I also wanted to try jelly sandwich method, so I painted light coat of jelly polish on top of stamping for white nails. It gives softer grey on white look instead of stark black and white. 

The holographic stamping is so pretty but it's very hard to picture it. It gives rainbows of colors! 

I wish I can capture the holo effect better...

Do you like holographic stamping? Have you tried jelly sandwich method?

Lily Anna Plates Review!

I finally got my first Lily Anna plates! I was eyeing on these plates for some time now but getting them all the way from Australia prevented me from ordering for a while. 

I bought Lily Anna 03 & 08. 

I actually bought these from Nail Polish Canada as they had great sale price recently for Bundle Monster and Pueen plates, which I posted here. It was a pleasant surprise to find out Nail Polish Canada carries Lily Anna and Messy Mansion plates! No more waiting for weeks and no shipping cost!

For this look, I first painted my nails with OPI My Vampire Is Buff, Ceramic Glaze Skinny Jeans, and Essie Sunday Funday. I stamped a couple of designs from Lily Anna plate 08 using Ceramic Glaze Skinny Jeans as stamping polish. 

My right hand with slight variation. 

Lily Anna plates are well etched and I can get great transfers of images everytime. The designs are beautiful and I think they are a little more grown up!

Do you have any Lily Anna plates? What is your opinion on them?

Love,

Red Flowers

I bought quite a few image plates recently from Nail Polish Canada. They had this awesome sale of $1.49 (Canadian dollars!) for Bundle Monster and Pueen single plates!

I used this flower design for this look. When I look at this design, I get Asian feel from it somehow... Is it just me? 

For this look, I first painted my nails with OPI My Vampire Is Buff (creamy white) and OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow (red). I used BM-224 for the flowers and BM-225 for the Chinese character (it means "love") for stamping. I used OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow and Color Club Harp On It as stamping polish. 

I usually buy plates by sets because the price is better bundled that way. But I haven't bought some of older sets because I didn't think I would use a lot of designs in the sets (specially the ones contain a lot of French tip designs, which I hardly use...)  So this was the great opportunity for me to purchase the only plates I love! 

I was also very impressed by the customer service of Nail Polish Canada. A few plates I received didn't work well. I emailed them and they sent me the replacement right away! Very prompt service!

Do you get Asian feel from this look? Have you bought products from Nail Polish Canada?

Cute As A Button

I am trying to enjoy summerly colors while we can. Our summer is too short!! 

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Resort Fling (coral orange), Essie Find Me An Oasis (pale blue), and Essie Cocktails & Coconuts (beige). I stamped button design from MoYou London Princess Collection 09, using Mundo de Unas stamping polish 53, 12, and 6.

I stamped the alphabet design on one of my right hand nails but the color was a bit too pale... Oh well...

I wanted to try these colors from Essie Resort Collection for a while. But maybe I should have used just two colors and not three... It looks a bit too busy, don't you think?

Have you tried these colors? Which one is your favorite from this collection?

Nautical Nails!

Here is the nautical look I created this week!

I quite like how it came out!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Ivory Skull (white), Ceramic Glaze My Skinny Jeans (navy blue), and Essie Style Hunter (red). I used Bundle Monster image plates BM-401. BM-407, and BM-414 for various nautical theme designs. I used Ceramic Glaze My Skinny Jeans and Mundo de Unas 1 as stamping polish. 

My right hand with an octopus!!

It is a fun look I think you can only wear during the summer, so take the advantage!

Have you done any nautical theme nails this summer?

Yellow and Grey... and a Cat!

I picked up a few shades of new Sally Hansen pastel collection the other day. I particularly liked this pastel yellow!

I paired the yellow with grey and silver. And just for fun, I stamped cat paw prints!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Teeny Bikini (pastel yellow), Joe Fresh Fog (grey), and OPI It's Frosty Outside (silver liquid sand). I used my new Mundo de Unas stamping polish 1 (white) to stamp the pattern design from MoYou London Princess Collection 08. I also stamped a little cat and paw prints from Konad plate M91 using Joe Fresh Fog as stamping polish. 

You met one of my kitties before here. This look is inspired by my other kitty!

She is quite mischievous... Walking on my nails to leave her paw prints is exactly a kind of things she does...

Does your pet inspire you?
