Double Jaded Flowers

Sorry for the blah title but thats all I could think of. Im officially tired of eating thanksgiving food because everytime I eat I get sleepy as all hell. Im tired of eating mashed potatoes ( never thought that would ever happen). J'adore une pomme de terres *french for I love potatoes* Mrs. Brittingham would be so pleased to know I still remember most of my french.
Anywho today's official NOTD which I just got finish doing is had more technical fouls than a football game. First it was trying to find a suitable dark green to stamp with to the base color smudging and smearing when trying to stamp. Finally everything worked itself out and Im really loving it. The base color is 2 coats of Avon nailwear pro in Jade. Two coats were a must because though the polish is really pigmented the formula is kinda thin. My stamping polishes were SH insta-dri in Jumpin' Jade (flowers) and China Glaze Devotion (chains). I really like how the green on green shading turned out but next time I think Ill use gold for the accent color. The images were stamped from the bundlemonster plates *bm12 to be exact*.

Ruby Kiss Haul

I picked these polishes up at a beauty supply store on Wednesday. I was looking for some brown polishes because

Now this pretty is Sun Tan. She is a bronzy golden color. This color is perfect for fall/winter months but just as appropriate for summer as it gives off that perfect summer glow. This was 2 - 3 coats depending on the nail.

Now this is Reflection. This was my favorite out the bunch. It also gave me quite the headache trying to photograph it because none of these pictures show it how I see it. I picked this up thinking this would be the brown I was looking for. In the bottle its a bronzy plummy brown if that makes sense. That also translates well over to the nail. Yet all the pictures I took it looks garnet with copper shimmer.

And this is Steel Magnolia. *I Love that movie* I admit I got this more for the name than for the color but for 99 cent who cares. This is a steely charcoal grey that almost looks black in some lights. I actually am wearing this right now. As you can see I stamped the fair isles flowers off my bundlemonster plate in white on them and mattified them with E.L.F matte finisher. Ive been wearing this for 3 days and have slight tip wear. Im still on the fence as to whether or not I like this color. So far Im leaning towards not so much.

Ultra Violet

Color Club UltraViolet isnt my usual purple but that blue shimmer is stellar. UltraViolet hails from Electro Candy collection that came out in 2009. These are 2 coats with topcoat.

I stamped a decorative french tips on my left hand but because my nails arent even on that hand and the stamp is narrow. This the left handed #Fail I was left with. I stamped with the white pumkin polish.

Now my right hand wasnt as bad. Just stamped my right finger.

Oh please excuse the ashiness of my hands.bI had just got done taking off my halloween mani. I really like this color so I plan to try it by itself soon.

POLKA DOTS AND STRIPES

Now how original is that title. *Boo for Creativity* Anywho's this mani is brought to you by the polishes Color Club Twiggie and Chelsea Girl. Both of the Poptastic collection. I wore this for about 4 -5 days with no chips and minimal tipwear. Sorry for the short post Im in a hurry today. Have to finish getting ready gotta help my aunt unpack her new house. Enjoy.

Punched in the Kisser

First off Happy Independence Day everybody. Well sorry for not posting sooner Ive been uber busy and quite tired as of lately. Now down to business this is the fauxnadicure that I did on the 1st. Two coats of Maybelline Papaya Punch over a clear basecoat. The design comes from the bundlemonster image plates and it was stamped with N.Y.C. in White tip. Sorry for the short post havent been feeling really inspired as of lately.
