Sunday Stamping: Bold Gold over Zuza

Hello everyone!

Today's post is for a Facebook group I am in call Adventures in Stamping.

Every Sunday we have a themed stamping challenge this weeks theme was gold.

You could stamp on a gold base, stamp with a gold polish, or add gold glitter. Pretty much however you interpret Gold. So for my mani I started with Zoya Zuza as my base and I stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold for the stamping. Bold Gold is an awesome stamper and it is the gold that I always reach for.

If you see this polish, buy it!

1 coat OPI Nail Envy
2 coats Zoya Zuza
stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold and GA47
topped with Seche Vite

I wanted to see what it would look like matte so I used Julep Matte Top Coat

What do you think? Do you prefer matte or shiney?

31 Day Challenge, Day 18: Half Moon Nails and some bad news...

Hello ladies!
So last night I was at work and I injured my middle finger on my right hand...
and I'm right handed.
It's not broken but I crushed it really well. So my finger is in a splint and hurts like h-e double hockey sticks. On the plus side the ER doctors really liked my nails as they were checking out my finger :)

I'm not sure yet but some of my 31 day challenges might have to be postponed. I haven't tried polishing yet but I can't write so I don't know how well I'll be able to hold a brush. Good news is my finger nail was not harmed in this whole ordeal

Luckily I already did today's! I was still wearing it when I smashed my hand...
 Nail polish time!

1 coat OPI Nail Envy
2 coats Sation Jock Juggler 
stamped with CH6 and Maybelline Navy Narcissist
also used paper reinforcement stickers for the half moons

The Maybelline Color Show Metallics are awesome for stamping!

Had a little smudging but hey, nobody is perfect.

What do you guys think? Typing this whole thing took forever!

31 Day Challenge Day 10, Gradient Nails

Wow today has flown by!

I had to work a longer shift today then I thought, then dinner with the hubby for our anniversary.

Before I knew it its 9:30 and I'm already a day late on this post but I personally think this mani is worth the wait. Now I have done gradient nails before and I have done a gradient stamp before as well. This is the first time I have mixed the two, and I love it!

1 coat OPI Nail Envy

2 coats Maybelline Bold Gold

I've got Fuchsia Fever!

Hey ladies! this is a new polish by Maybelline, it's from their new Color Show Collection. It's called Fuchsia Fever. It's a medium pink, that is kind of a jelly, but then it dries almost matte. It is a very confusing polish... any who, I then stamped it with Cheeky jumbo plate C and Funky Fingers Down to Earth. At first I didn't really like this color, but after stamping on it I loved this mani and got so many compliments, it made my hands feel pretty!

I love how crisp and clean these plates stamp!

On a side note I ordered the new Bundle Monster plates! Should be here in a few days!
