40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Kids TV

Hey there!  This week's theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is Kid's TV.  This one was tough for me since I don't have kids and it's been a long time since I was a kid myself.  I believe it was my sister who suggested I try doing Care Bears nails so that's what I tried to do here.  Care Bears (linked for those of you who might not know what they are) was one of the few cartoons I was able watch growing up since we lived in the country and couldn't receive anything other than three basic TV channels (that would kill me now!).  Every weekday at 7 or 7:30 am Care Bears was on while I was getting ready for school so they're definitely a childhood memory.

Bundle Monster Festival Stamping Plate Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  How's everyone doing today?  Today I have another stamping plate review for you guys to have a look at.  This is one of Bundle Monster's newest stamping plate sets, Festival, just in time for a summer of music festivals.  I have to say that this is my favourite set that Bundle Monster has come up with in quite awhile.  Even though I haven't gone to a music festival in years and I'm old enough to not "get" some of the images on these plates, I love this set anyway...that's saying a lot!  I guess is appeals to the hippy, nature nut in me.  

UberChic Beauty The Far East -02 Stamping Plate Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have one of UberChic Beauty's awesome single plates to review, The Far East -02.  While I do LOVE UberChic's collections, these individual plates are always fun.  Brittany manages to come up with images that fit a cohesive theme while not necessarily constraining the user to it.  While this plate is certainly Asian-themed, I think that only one of the three manis I'm posting today entirely fits the theme.  Keep reading to see how I've done these...

Delush Polish DP03 Swirls & Twirls Stamping Plate Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have a review of the last Delush Polish stamping plate that is currently available.  There were three initial plates released so this is DP03, also known as Swirls & Twirls, a very suitable name for this plate (review of DP01 and DP02 can be found here and here, respectively).  As well I have swatches of two gorgeous Delush Polish shades that you might be interested in.  Keep reading to see all the details...

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 - Violet

Hey there!  This week's 40 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt is violet, which I taught me yesterday that I don't actually know what color violet is.  I had thought violet was anything between red and blue on the color spectrum but, according to a discussion in the group, it turns out that violet is more of a neon purple.  Unfortunately I didn't have time to do a new mani after learning of my mistake so, instead of violet roses (as roses was my personal prompt), today I have purple roses.  At least I hope they look like roses since I freehanded them!

Bundle Monster Paisley Flow Stamping Plate Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the brand new Bundle Monster stamping plate collection, Paisley Flow.  These plates are meant to be a continuation of last year's Shangri-La collection with lots of new fine paisleys, swirls, floral and tribal buffet-style images.  I spent a lot of the last week or so playing with this set and I found that it has the same great quality that Bundle Monster has come to be known for.  Keep reading to see all the details.
