Adventures In Stamping- Spring Flowers

Good Morning my loves and Happy Sunday! Did you notice the blog makeover? I hope you enjoy it, it's still a work in progress but I'm trying! I haven't done a challenge in Adventures in Stamping in quit some time so why not start back up today! As soon as I saw the theme I knew how I wanted to approach it, I just wasn't sure what stamp to use. So off to my plate pile I went.



I started with a base of Sinful Colors- White on White and sponged on colors from the China Glaze Avent Garden Collection- Pink-ie Promise, Fade Into Hue, and Keep Calm, Paint On and also Lemon Fizz. I love how this came out, to me it looks like watercolors. I then Stamped with the original Bundle Monster Plate BM12 in white with Sinful Colors White on White.



To add a little bit more to it I added small pearls to some of the flowers. I got the pearls from bornprettystore, I love that they add a delicate touch to most anything.



I'm really loving gradients lately. This one I painted the polish into "squares" on the sponge. If anyone would like a tutorial I'de be happy to make it! What do you think of my Spring Flowers? I already can't wait to see what everyone else's looks like.

Until Next Time!

Butterflies for Spring Time

Hello & Happy Friday! Wow did this week go by fast again. Today I have for you some more nail art I did, I've been in a nail art mood and I'm really liking this groove. I was in a funk and only did swatches for a while but now I'm back! So here we go!



I started of with a gradient using Sinful Colors- Sugar Rush as a base. Then I used the makeup sponge methd and did a gradient with China Glaze- Grape Pop and Fancy Pants, I followed that with Seche Vite.



After the gradient dried I stamped over it with the butterfly image from BM-307 and Sinful Colors- Snow Me White, then topped again with Seche Vite.



I really love the way these came out, I plan on wearing these for a while! What do you think? Are you liking my nail art kick?

Don't forget 150 likes on facebook gets us a giveaway! I showed a sneakpeek of what the giveaway has in store on instagram;)

Until Next Time!

Guess whos baaaack?

That's right! Hello everyone! I've taken FAR too long of a break from my blog. I've been going through quit a few personal battles and basically pulled away from anything and everything that made me happy. But things have gotten better, not 100% but better and I'm really excited to get back to blogging and I hope you enjoy what I've got coming!

I've been on etsy quit a lot latley and have really built up my Indie collection. I even stalked llarowe to grab some Dollish Polish and CrowsToes in her recent launch. So what better way to start a new on the blog? An Indie of course!

Today for you I chose Pretty & Polished, jawbreaker. I have a love for this polish as it was the first indie I had ever purchased and I stalked her etsy as well. I have the original version before she reformulated so mine has square red glitters stuck to the bottom but it doesn't bother me one bit! This polish is beautiful and the name explains it insanley well. Its a white jelly base with multi colored shaped and sized glitters suspended in it. There is so much depth to it it is incredible!

I did two coats of jawbreaker, then decided to pull out my new bundle monster set. Can I just say that this set blew away my expectations? The images are much larger and a lot easier to transfer. I used plate bm-323 for the rose image and used both a red and blue polish. (I used sinful colors minis from winter 2011 collection but my bottles don't have names on them) followed by a coat of seche vite. I got so many compliments at work and it really boosted my spirits to post! Thank you so much and I hope you stick with me to show you what I've got! Until next time.
