Zippers!!!

I don't know why but I think zippers are pretty cool. I absolutely love the bundle monster zipper stamp. I've seen some cool designs done with this stamp but haven't really tried any yet...but I will!!

I also came across zipper bracelets. I found some on Etsy that you can buy for $8-$12, but then came across a tutorial to make your own, which is much cheaper! If you'd like to try to make your own zipper bracelet, here is where I learned! (Acutally my mom pretty much made them :x ) You can find zippers at pretty much any craft store!

These are the two that I have.




I didn't have much time for a mani when I did my nails this time again, so I just did one nail. Still pretty cool! This blue is also one of my favorite colors.







The blue is O.P.I No Room For The Blues






















Stamp: Bundle Monster BM 202

Red&Gold

Creative title right? Hehe

Today I really just wanted to paint my nails red, and realized that I only own 2 red nail polishes! How can someone be so into nail polish and only own 2 red?!

I think I've gotten better at stamping too. It's becoming so much faster and easier, and less messy!! Very happy about that, Sometimes I wind up making a HUGE mess. I messed up big time on my thumb, which is the last nail I stamped, thank goodness!!

Well here's my mani for today, My camera battery died so There's only 2 pictures. :(

First taped mani!

Other than using tape for french mani's, I've never used it for any other design. Today is my first try! I've been so inspired to try a taped mani from reading nailside's posts. So here's my first attempt!

It was actually pretty hard peeling the little pieces of tape off. I tried to peel it off one piece at a time, but with the blue painted over it I couldn't tell which one I had put down first and they all wound up coming off at the same time, which caused some messiness, but that's okay, I'll get more practice!!






For the gold I used Orlys Luxe


For the blue I used Wet n Wilds Saved by the Blue





















I'm a lefty, so usually my right hand comes out the best. Not bad for my first try I have to say!



















My left hand on the other story...ouch haha I tried to touch it up but my right hand wasn't too steady! Still not too bad though, I think? ;)

Feelin' Wild

So today as I was going through my plates, I noticed that I have 5 different animal print designs...So that's what I decided to do today!

I don't know how long this is gonna stay on because I don't know if it's a bit too much for me, but we'll see. :)

What do you guys think?

I guess I didn't wait long enough for the stamping to dry :( Hate when it smudges!

Success!

I don't think I've ever been totally happy with any of my full nail stamped mani's. Seriously SOMETHING always goes on crooked or doesn't transfer. In this mani some flowers missed out, but I actually don't think it's noticeable at all!

I am so happy with how this mani came out, and I was completely rushed doing it because I had a party to attend. Woo!! Success :)


For the base I used China Glaze For Audrey























For stamping I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue























The image plate used was Bundle Monster BM221

Lost for a name...

I need to start getting more creative, It's hard for me trying to figure out what to call my posts!

Today I felt like using darker colors, since I'm actually excited for Fall to come! Well I don't really have to say much about this mani so I figured I'll just show ya

Also, I don't know what my problem is lately but stamping is not working out properly for me!! I can never get the full image on the stamp! I used to, I don't know what happened! Any tips??

I'm also still trying to figure out this camera thing trying to get the pics more clear, so bear with me!


For the base I used Pure Ice in Taupe Drawer.
The tips I used O.P.I in She's Golden
And for the stamp I used Bundle Monster plate BM-225 with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White on

Love my Polka Dots

Well the majority of today was a pretty frustrating day, where everything went wrong! But it all turned up just fine in the end.

One thing that kept going wrong for sure was my mani. Started painting my nails around 2:30, but didn't have them done until 7pm! I wasn't doing my nails the entire time in between but still!

I can't even tell you how many cotton balls, q-tips, and nail polish remover I went through today. I tried about 3 or 4 different things and they ALL kept going wrong!

One thing I tried was doing a tape mani with a crackle polish. Well when I took the tape off of my nail, wherever the crackle was on the tape, stuck to my nail! Sooooo that had to come off. :/

Well this is what I wound up with. I definitely am a sucker for polka dots. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this mani just yet, but I do think it's pretty cute.

For the white I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On.





















For the Polka Dots I use

Chine Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le

China Glaze For Audrey

and

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

I am in love with the color Flip Flop Fantasy. However, I painted all my nails this color once before, and 3 nails chipped within a few hours. Maybe it was because it took 3 or 4 coats, plus my Seche Vite Top Coat. :( But it was beautiful for the few hours!
