The Digit-al Dozen does Textured - Mermaid Sea Glass

Hey there!  Today brings us to the end of another Digit-al Dozen themed week.  I double posted a bunch this week so I feel like it's been a long week of blogging for me so I'll be happy to take tomorrow off and hopefully start on next month's nails.  If I don't get them done this weekend, I'm not sure when I'll have time.  I've never skipped a DD month yet and I'm not planning on starting now!  Anyway, for today's 5th and final textured look, I'm not entirely sure what I was going for.  I've called them sea glass nails but I don't think that's entirely accurate thanks to the flakies, hence I've called them mermaid sea glass. ..

The Digit-al Dozen does Recreating Your First Blog Posts - Fall Leaves Jelly Stampwich

Hey there!  Today we have a last minute addition to the lineup for the week of "first blog post" re-creations.  I had some done a marbled mani for today but it was rubbish compared to the original so I found a different old design to redo.  This is a jelly stampwich, which is the nail world means that it's stamping images sandwiched between layers of jelly polish.  I think they give great depth to the nails.  I hope you agree!

UberChic Beauty Furry Best Friends and Luxe Stamper Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I'm reviewing two exciting products from UberChic Beauty - the new Furry Best Friends plate and the Luxe stamper.  Furry Best Friends is one of UberChic's single plates (ie. not in a collection) that so many UberChic fans were crying out for.  People definitely love their fur babies so it's not surprising that they want to wear their love on their nails.  The other product, the Luxe stamper,  I couldn't wait to try because I had seen that it can be used to shrink images.  So today you get to see my results from that as well.  

Sunday Stamping - Plate No. 27

Hey there!  This week's Sunday Stamping challenge should've been easy - it was just a plate number. BUT most my plate collections don't go past 25 so I was pretty limited in my selections.  But I do have high numbered Born Pretty Store plates (thank you BPS) so I picked BPL-027 for my stamping over a flakie base.  Hope you enjoy!

Smoky Nail Art

Hey there!  I decided to go out on limb a bit for this week's 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge.  The themes for this week are "green and yellow" and/or fire.  I thought I'd go with the old saying of "where there's smoke, there's fire" and do this green and yellow smoky nail art.  Kind of look like the beginning of Breaking Bad, don't you think?

Candy Cane Jelly Stampwich

Hey there!  The theme of week 3 of Nail Polish Canada's Holiday Nail Art Challenge is Holiday Memories.  I went with a candy cane jelly stampwich because we always had candy canes on our Christmas tree and I still love candy canes today.  Even the old ones that get kind of chewy...

Fall Leaves Jelly Stampwich

Hey there!  Since tonight was my last night of ultimate frisbee fall league, I thought I would show you the manicure I'm wearing right now which I've oh-so-creatively called "Fall Leaves".  Behold, my first jelly stampwich!
