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 14: Flower Nails

Hello ladies! 

Today's theme is flowers! I love flowers and I love flower nails. 

So today should have been easy, except I ran out of time. 

It's fall and the days of direct sunlight are going to be few and far between so I spent my free time swatching my holos, something that I've been meaning to do for a while.

Tonight is my old high school's alumni game and I wanted to have some purple on my nails to represent :)

So I multitasked, I slapped on one of my favorite holos Nfu-Oh 61 and added some purple and flowers.

1 coat Nfu-Oh Aqua Base

2 coats Nfu-Oh 61

2 coats Sation Tardy Tart on the ring and thumb fingers

stamped with BM-306 and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes

topped with SV

I love holos and I am counting down the days to Color Club's Halo Hues 7 days!

31 Day Challenge Day 9, Rainbow Nails

Hey guys!

I can't believe how fast this challenge is going! I am having a lot of fun coming up with all these designs. 

Today's nails are Rainbow Nails. For these I didn't want to go the traditional rainbow route. I wanted something a little different so I picked some close to- rainbow colors.

My stamp didn't turn out as well as I would have liked but I still really like this mani!

1coat OPI Nail Envy Original

2 coats OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

I sponged on in this order: 

OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips

Sally Hansen Sun Kissed

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Mint Sprint

OPI No Room for the Blues

Sation Tardy Tart

Stamped with Konad Special White and Cheeky XL plate A

dotting with a dotting tool and Konad Special White

My work space and bottle shot

Pre-clean up and stamp

I love puzzles so I knew this stamp was for me! I've been waiting to use it.

What do you guys think?

Tardy Tart

Hello!

So I have been seeing the brand Sation a lot. 

Then I saw a fellow blogger use the color Tardy Tart and I knew I had to have it.

I tracked down an e-tailer who sold this brand and I bought it :)

Polishes

OPI- Nail Envy Base Coat

Sation- Tardy Tart

Konad- Black Pearl

Seche Vite Top Coat

Stamping Plate- BM-314

This stamp is wonderful. The image is nice and deep and all the little lines stamped so crisp and clear.

I love this color! It is so bright it's almost neon. This polish is so opaque it is almost a one coater and it applied like a dream. Since it is so pigmented I think it might me able to stamp...
