Messy Mansion Lace Nail Stamping

Hey there!  Lace stamping images seem to be all the rage lately and I, for one, am a-okay with that.  I love them.  So the second I received my Messy Mansion order with the new lace plate (MM44) in it, I used it right away.  Here's what I came up with.

Inspired by Shoes...

Hey there!  I've mentioned that I'm not the most creative person on earth so I have to look around for nail inspiration.  Well the other weekend I decided I wanted to try to replicate the pattern on a pair of my sister's shoes.  Strange but not too strange since I've already been inspired by her towel.  And yes, I touched a pair of my sister's dirty shoes just to take pictures.  See how much I love you guys...

Sunday Stamping - Butterflies, Ladybugs & Fireflies

Hey there!  How's everyone's weekend going?  I hear it's Memorial Day down in the US so I hope you guys are having a great long weekend!  This week's Sunday stamping challenge theme is Butterflies, Ladybugs & Fireflies.  I chose butterflies and came up with this after seeing Enamel Girl's post about using the OPI sheer tints over white stamping.  Genius!

Blingy Textured Beach Nails

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have what is probably going to turn into a photo heavy post to show you some nail art I did using a few items I was sent for review from Born Pretty Store that I will link at the end. I saw this awesome tutorial for beach nails from Elleandish on youtube and wanted to try something similar with textured polishes and here's what I came up with.

Blue & White Porcelain Nail Stamping & Mentality Brute

Hey there!  Have you ever seen that blue and white porcelain/china?  I grew up thinking it was part of the Dutch culture since my grandparents on one side of my family are Dutch.  Well when I wore these, a coworker of mine from Latvia said that this type of pottery is from Russia.  And then my Iranian coworker said they have it in Iran.  And when I google it, it says it's Chinese.  I guess many parts of the world have their own version of blue and white wares so I'm generically going to refer to it as just "blue and white porcelain".  Check out after the jump to see what products I used for this.

Picture Polish Columbia and some water decals

Hey there!  Does anyone else feel super sluggish coming off a long weekend?  I should feel all refreshed and ready to go but all I want to do at the moment is have a long nap on the couch.  Unfortunately between work and ultimate, a nap is not in my future.  So to try to revive myself a bit I thought I could write up a quick post.  

This here is Picture Polish Columbia.  When I saw that Picture Polish was releasing some Rocky Horror-exlusive shades that the rest of weren't going to be able to get our hands on, my heart broke a little because I wanted the red glitter polish.  But luckily they were allowed to distribute these worldwide so I made sure I picked up Columbia as soon as I could.  When I wore it I added some wavy water decals just because.

Sunday Stamping - Over a pink base

Hey there!  It's the Sunday of the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada so I got to enjoy the first lake weekend of the year - but I came back early so I could drive back with my family who has to work tomorrow.  No swimming in our giant lake anytime soon though.  There was ice on it that had blown in so even dipping a toe in it was icy cold!  The good thing about coming home on Sunday was that I got the chance to do the Sunday stamping challenge!  This week's theme is "over a pink base"...sounds easy right?  Not so much.  This was my third and final attempt at doing some cool stamping over a pink base.
