Sunday Stamping - Whatever The Weather

Hey there!  Hope you're having a good weekend.  I'm finishing out the weekend with this weather-related stamping.  Today's Sunday challenge theme is "whatever the weather" and until this weekend, this is pretty much how Edmonton's skies have been looking for the last couple of weeks.  In all other seasons, we have big blue skies but spring tends to bring some cloudier weather with just bits of blue sky so that's what I've tried to show here with this double stamping.  Luckily the weather this weekend has been phenomenal so I got to see the sun.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Fashion

Hey there!  This week 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is doing Fashion nails.  I seriously pay zero attention to the fashion world.  If I had my way, all clothes would be black or grey and maybe have some stripes, if I was feeling super fancy.  In other words I had to spend ages googling fashion photos to find some inspiration.  And I did some nails that I really like but that weren't super unique.  THEN I was watching Project Runway All Stars with my sister last weekend and I saw a dress that caught my eye because the color immediately made me think of a polish I had.  Those are what I'm posting today.

UberChic Beauty Collection 7 Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have the pleasure of presenting you with UberChic Beauty's 7th collection of nail stamping plates.  I've proudly been reviewing Brittany's plates since she first started at the end of 2014 and I have never once been disappointed with UberChic Beauty's plates and Collection 7 is no exception.  As usual, the quality of these plates and the designs that she has thought of are second to none.  There's a reason why her plates are always the first ones I go for when I'm doing a new stamping mani.

Simple Christmas Nails

Hey there!  In reality this post should be titled "What I've been wearing on my nails lately".  I've been so lazy when it comes to cropping photos and actually writing up posts that I've worn a ton of holiday manis lately that haven't made it to the blog.  I've worn each of these as full manis for at least a day over the last couple of weeks - one of them is even what I'm wearing right now so I guess they'll be my Christmas nails. I finally edited a couple of photos for each and thought I'd share them on this Christmas Eve.

Sunday Stamping - Red and Black Nails

Hey there!  Now that Halloween is over, it's onto some non-holiday challenges.  This week's Sunday stamping theme is "red & black", my personal favourite color combination.  So much so that just last week I did red and black nails for last week's Sunday stamping challenge.  I'm more than okay with wearing the same color combination again so I did these for this week, inspired by this awesome mani done by @constantlypolished.  Hers is way prettier with the gold stamping but I didn't mind mine at all.  

 

More Fall Leaves

Hey there!  Last week was The Digit-al Dozen's Autumn week but I did sooooo many Fall-themed mani's that I have a bunch leftover.  I thought I'd post a couple more of them today before winter shows up and they become super non-seasonal.  I'm all for wearing any color at any time of year but I bet you guys would think I was crazy if I was posting fall leaf nails in January!  So here's a couple of my extras...

HPB Presents Summer Night Sky Nail Art

Hey there!  I'm in quite a few nail polish Facebook groups (in case you can't tell from the number of challenges I try to do).  There's one called Hobby Polish Bloggers full of other nail bloggers that are always a wealth of information.  Every month they do a themed link up for swatches/nail art but I always forget to make note of what it is and end up skipping it.  But this month I remembered!  The theme for July is Starry Night Sky so I chose to do a swatch with some stamping.  Keep reading to see all the details.

Hawaiian Flowers Over Blue Glitter

Hey there!  For this week's Sunday Stamping theme, we have a pretty open theme of "stamping over blue glitter".  Well I had just received my order with some of the new Bundle Monster Polynesia plates and I had this mani in mind from the second I ordered them so the timing was perfect for this prompt.

The Digit-al Dozen does Nature: Day 2 Butterfly Nail Stamping

Hey there!  For the second day of The Digit-al Dozen's Nature week, I couldn't resist doing one of my favorite nail inspirations...butterflies!  I think I like butterfly mani's so much because you can make butterflies any color and they always look pretty, just like real butterflies in nature!

Torn Flesh Nail Art and Pretty Serious Love Bite

Hey there!  To celebrate the season premiere of The Walking Dead this weekend, I've done some torn flesh nails (I'm even wearing them at work today) inspired by Pack-a-Punch Polish.  So if you only like pretty nails, I suggest you look away right now.  They're kind of disgusting.

Sunday Stamping - Tiger Nails

Hey there!  This week's Sunday stamping challenge is honouring World Tiger Day which is celebrated on July 29th (this Tuesday) to raise awareness of the danger of extinction that tigers face.  Honestly, I didn't even know there was a World Tiger Day but I'm the perfect example of someone who knows very little about these majestic creatures.  Until recently, I thought lions and tigers were best buds, chilling in Africa together.  Did you know Africa doesn't have tigers?  I didn't!

Lucky for me, I didn't need to be a tiger expert to wear some tiger nails.

Pretty Serious Haddonfield & Crystal Lake

Hey there!  Happy Halloween!!!  As promised, today I have a cool Halloween polish to show you.  Actually I have two.  Both Crystal Lake and Haddonfield are from Pretty Serious' Halloween collection, Killer Fangirls.  There's also a third polish in the collection called Elm Street but I didn't purchase that one.   I'll let the pictures do the talking.  They explain things better than I do.

Thanksgiving Nails (Stamper Decals)

Hey there!  Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!  My family had their dinner on Saturday and here is the manicure I wore for it.

If you want to read how I did them, read on.  But be warned, it's not a short description...
