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.

Sunday Stamping - Inspired by the Night Sky

Hey there!  This week's Sunday Stamping theme was Inspired by the Night Sky.  I truly believe that no polish or nail art could ever compete with the beauty of the night sky (is there anything better than a good sky??) BUT it gave me the perfect excuse to try out my new KBShimmer, Carpe Denim, as a base color that I hadn't gotten to wear yet.

Sunday Stamping - Over A White Base

Hey there!  I know, I know, I'm late as always but I do have a Sunday stamping post for today/tonight.  This week "over a white base" was picked as our theme.  I could do anything!  And what do I do?  Simple black over white.  Not only that but I used a stamping plate that I've used so many times before (though I'm not sure I've ever posted a mani with it).  But you know what?  I LOVE these!  I don't know if it's because I used the new Crystal Clear Stamper that I was sent to check out from Clear Jelly Stamper which made placement and stamping easy peasy or because sometimes black and white is just nice but it doesn't matter.  I just like these.

Sunday Stamping - Valentine's Day

Hey there!  Happy Valentine's Day friends!  I hope your day is filled with love, even for those of you who might be uncoupled up today (like me).  I have saved my favourite Valentine's Day mani of the year for today, since it's actually V-Day today.  I used a mix of vinyls and stamping but this totally still counts for Sunday stamping's theme, right?  

Sunday Stamping - Bling It Up

Hey there!  I know it's late to be blogging but I've been busy all day playing with nail polish - working on this month's Digit-al Dozen manis AND playing with the newest UberChic plates so you can expect to see those soon.  So I'm finding time now to post this week's Sunday Stamping theme - Bling It Up!  How fun is that?!  I took that to mean that I should see how many sparkles I could get onto my nails, while still including stamping.  Here's what I came up with...

Sunday Stamping - Chevrons and Zig Zags

Hey there!  This week the Adventures in Stamping Sunday challenge that was voted in is Chevrons and Zig Zags.  I used it as an opportunity to do another untried technique for the base (to stay with my theme of the last couple of weeks) - Sharpie nails!  I'm officially in love with this technique and want to use it every time I do my nail now.  Keep reading to see how the base looked on its own.

Sunday Stamping - Feeling Fruity

Hey there!  Sunday stamping is back!  This week "Feeling Fruity" was picked for the theme.  Unfortunately I haven't had time to do my nails in the last few days but luckily I had a fruit mani in the vault that was leftover from The Digit-al Dozen's Inspired by Pinterest week.  Proof that it sometimes comes in handy that I tend to do too many manis for the DD weeks!

HPB/Sunday Stamping Presents Merry Christmas Nails

Hey there!  Today I have another combo theme.  At this time of year, there's so many holiday themes out there that I decided to combine a few of them since I loved wearing this mani this past week.  First, it's time for the joining together of a great group of nail polish bloggers, the Hobby Polish Bloggers, for this month's link up theme of Holiday/Winter.  Second, it's Sunday which means this week's Adventures in Stamping Sunday challenge of Merry Christmas Nails.  I thought this sparkly Santa/Rudolph mani was fitting for both the themes.

Sunday Stamping - Ugly Christmas Sweater Nails

Hey there!  I hope everyone's Sunday (or whatever day it is when you read this) is going well.  My day has been fantastic so far.  I just got home from my friend's where we had a beer in his outdoor hot tub...hot tubbing in the snow is a blast!  But now I'm back home on my couch and thought it'd be a good time to write up today's blog post.  Since it is Sunday, I have this week's Sunday stamping theme...ugly Christmas sweaters.  These are always a fun nail design at this time of year.

Sunday Stamping - Something Cute or Fluffy

Hey there!  Wow I've been nail-lazy this week.  So much so that I didn't even do a new mani for this week's Sunday stamping theme.  So I'm cheating today and posting something that I did a couple weeks ago that happens to fit with today's theme.  Today our challenge is "something fluffy or cute nails".  I thought this owl stamping was pretty darn cute so I think it's theme-worthy.

Sunday Stamping - Abstract

Hey there!  So this week for the Adventures In Stamping Sunday challenge we were told to "unleash our inner Picasso's" and show it on our nails with some abstract art.   I scoured all my stamping plates looking for images I thought would work well for abstract nail art and I think I found the perfect one!  Keep reading to find out all the details...

Sunday Stamping - Snow & Ice

Hey there!  This week for the Adventures in Stamping we were given the option of two themes - Snow & Ice and Remembrance Day.  I did mani's for both themes this weekend but I think I'll save the Remembrance Day one to post on Wednesday.  So for today I have these snow & ice nails that I wore today.  As it turns out, these were very appropriate today since we ended up while a whole lot of snow...and rain (which hopefully doesn't turn to ice tonight).

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.  

 

Sunday Stamping - Holo-ween

Hey there!  This week's Sunday challenge theme is a fun one...holo-ween (as in using a holographic base or images).  I opted for a holo base for this vampire-themed stamped and I absolutely love how it turned out.  It has red, sparkle and vampires...three of my favourite things!

Sunday Stamping - Snakeskin

Hey there!  This week's Sunday stamping challenge theme is Snakeskin & Other Reptiles.  I feel like we've had this prompt before so I challenged myself to try to do something reptilian and Halloween-like.  I found this image of toy snakes that had Halloween colors, and thought I could do snakeskin skittles like the toys.

Sunday Stamping - Disco Nails

Hey there!  This week's Sunday Stamping votes were soooooo close - it was a nail biter!  But the theme that won for today was Disco Nails.  I personally voted for it because I knew I had one disco plate that doesn't get much love from me so I wanted to use it.  And I did for these colorful throwback -to-the-70's nails.

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!

Sunday Stamping - Lacy Lace

Hey there!  I know it's very late for a Sunday stamping post but it is still Sunday and I was busy babysitting today (and then gawking at the super moon eclipse) but I'm down on the couch now thinking about how much I miss you guys.

This week's Sunday Stamping theme was Lacy Lace.  Mine didn't stamp oh-so-great but the base polish almost makes up for it.  I used a new Girly Bits polish, Stardust, and double stamped some lacy patterns on to wear what you see here.

Sunday Stamping - Over A Gold Base

Hey there!  For this week's Sunday Stamping theme, we're doing gold base or gold stamping images in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness.  I recently did a cancer awareness mani so, instead of doing awareness ribbons again, I thought I'd do something that might appeal to the kids.  So this is me sending the children and their families some love.

Sunday Stamping - Fall Nails 2015

Hey there!  Wow, it feels like ages since I've done a Sunday Stamping post!  The Sunday themes went on hiatus for a bit of the summer and then I couldn't participate in last week's but I'm back doing as many Sunday stamping themes as I can.  This week "Fall Nails" was picked as the theme so, even though I just posted a fall leaf mani on Monday, it's always the changing colour of the leaves that I think of when I think of fall...
