26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Blobbicure

Hey there!  I'm just popping in quickly today to share the mani I did for this week's 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt of blobbicure.  Since I'm really feeling fall colors lately, I did a autumn-toned blobbicure using slightly sparkly polishes.  I'm pretty sure any blobbicure I've tried in the past has been with all cremes.  The sparkle is kinda nice.

UberChic Beauty Pretty In Plaid Stamping Plate

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have one of the brand new plates from UberChic Beauty and it's an instant favourite for me.  This is the Pretty In Plaid stamping plate.  Right before she had  released this plate, I did a plaid mani for an upcoming challenge but I had to search for a plate (out of about the bazillion plates that I have) that was even decent.  Then this one came and blew the one I had used away.  It's perfect for anyone craving plaid nails of any sort.  Even though I just received this, I've already done four designs with it.  That should give some indication of how much I like it...

My Mani Box May and June 2018 Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have a look at what the nail art subscription box, My Mani Box, has to offer.  The boxes I'm checking out today were from May and June of this year so they've moved on since them but it should give you an idea of what kind of products you could receive.  There's always 2 MoYou London plates (you just let them know if you prefer the regular size or the XL size), indie polish and/or nail art and stamping accessories.  May's theme was Dinosaurs and June's was Passport to Polish.  You can see in the photos below what items came with each box and how much fun I had with them.  The next theme appears to be Fantastic Beasts.  Having just re-read the Harry Potter series this summer, that sounds like a good one to me!

Nail Crazies Unite - Food & Drink

Hey there!  Sorry I disappeared for a week.  I don't even have an excuse other than pure laziness.  But I'm popping in today to post my nails for this week's Nail Crazies Unite prompt of Food/Drink.  I do fruit-themed nail art a lot it seems but I don't usually embrace many other times of food on my nails.  But this week I changed that AND got to use a stamping plate a bought forever ago and never used.  So here's my delicious food nails.  Seriously, reading them is making me hungry.

The Digit-al Dozen does Recreating Your First Blog Posts - Layered Fire Stamping

Hey there!  We've come to the end of The Digit-al Dozen's week of recreating our first blog posts.  Since it's also 26 Great Nail Art Ideas day for Fire and/or Ice nails, I decided to combine them by redoing the first fire nail stamping I tried.  However I made some appropriate modifications as you'll see below...

The Digit-al Dozen does Recreating Your First Blog Posts - Fall Leaves Jelly Stampwich

Hey there!  Today we have a last minute addition to the lineup for the week of "first blog post" re-creations.  I had some done a marbled mani for today but it was rubbish compared to the original so I found a different old design to redo.  This is a jelly stampwich, which is the nail world means that it's stamping images sandwiched between layers of jelly polish.  I think they give great depth to the nails.  I hope you agree!


The Digit-al Dozen does Recreating Your First Blog Posts - Towel Stripes

Hey there!  Continuing with this week's Digit-al Dozen theme of recreating our first blog posts, I decided to re-do a mani with one of the most random inspirations.  It was originally inspired by my sister's towel, of all things.  I loved the color scheme and I love stripes so naturally I wanted to make nail art like this.  I even still have the towel, 5 years later, though it's a bit more faded and well worn than it used to be...
