Whats Up Nails Halloween Nail Stencils

Press  Sample

Hey there!  I have a bit of extra time this afternoon so I thought I should take advantage of it by showing you guys some of Whats Up Nails Halloween-themed stencils.  I do love the Halloween season so it was fun to get a jump on it this year by playing with these in September.  Plus that gives anybody that is interested enough time to get them in their hands before the big day!  Here I have the Pumpkin Topiary, Fire, Kitty Scratch, Frankenstein's Monster, Boo and Gothic Stencils.  As usual, I was really impressed with the quality of Whats Up Nails stencils.  I think using them has ruined me for some of the older ones I have!  I especially love that they come in different sizes since we don't all have the same sized nails.


26 Great Nail Art Ideas - My Signature Style

Hey there!  It's a sad, sad day.  It appears to be the final 26 Great Nail Art post, possibly ever.  I've been a part of Crumpet's Nail Tarts for years and, since I joined, I haven't missed a theme.  I might be late on some but I always got them done.  But at least we're finishing with a fun prompt - we've been tasked with doing our signature styles.  I don't think I have a signature style, personally, but awhile back Lady Maid Nails mentioned that I do enjoy the full mani "scenes" so that's what I did for today.

Nail Challenge Collaborative - Inspired by my PJs

Hey there!  I just realized it's almost the end of September so I better post my second "inspired by a garment" mani that I did for the Nail Challenge Collaborative prompt this month.  I said in my last one that my closet is mighty boring so there's not many patterns there.  So I decided to use an article of clothing that I spend far too much time in as my inspiration, a pair of pajama pants.  These things are so comfy I actually have at least 3 pairs in the same pattern!



Whats Up Nails Ocean Powder

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Here we have my next instalment in the series of fun things Whats Up Nails recently sent me to try out.  Yesterday I raved yet again about how much I adore their Magic Shifting Powders when I posted about Suntan.  Today I have another one.  This is Ocean, another summer-y name with a color that is gorgeous year round!  I also did a bit of stamping, pairing it with Rainforest since I can never leave my nails alone.

Whats Up Nails A011 and B021 Fall Stamping Plates

Press  Sample

Hey there!  I have so many fun Whats Up Nails goodies to show you in the next couple weeks.  They have lots and lots of fall and halloween themed stencils and stamping plates so I thought I better get them all posted ASAP so you guys have time to play with them while it is the season.  I'm starting with a couple of their autumnal stamping plates because, let's be honest, stamping is my true nail love!  Here I have A011 and B021 stamping plates.  I promise there's a lot more to these plates than just leafy images but I was in a real fall leaves mood when I was playing with these.  I also used the Suntan Magic Shifting Powder as a base for my first mani here so I have some pictures of that on its own as well (and a comparison to Sunset) for anyone who's been wondering how it looks.  Be sure to keep reading to see the other fall images they have!

Nail Crazies Unite - Chevrons

Hey there!  Today's Nail Crazies Unite prompt is chevrons.  And who doesn't like a good chevron nail design?  They're pretty common around me since they're the only thing my sister is usually willing to stamp on her nails.  Usually I would do the zig zag style of chevrons but I felt like switching it up so I went more with one big chevron for this look.

Mundo de Unas Cancun Stamping Polish Collection Swatches & Comparisons

Press  Sample

Hey there!  The weather here has certainly turned chilly (it even snowed this week!) which makes it the perfect time to warm up with the most recent stamping polish collection from Mundo de Unas, the Cancun Collection.  If you've read my blog at all, you might notice I use A LOT of Mundo de Unas stamping polish.  I have purchased almost every one of them, many more than once.  Therefore I was pretty excited to see they had a new collection.  Today I have swatches of the 8 new stamping polishes and some comparisons with other Mundo de Unas stamping polishes so you can see which might best fit your stamping needs.
