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!

Sunrise.. or sunset?

Good Morning my sweets! Today I have for you a really quick post. I did this gradient on my nails a couple of days ago and I got so many compliments that I thought I'de share.



For the gradient I used all China Glaze, base is Lemon Fizz, the gradient I used Snap My Dragon, and Mimosas Before Manis. I ordered the entire Advent collection, would anyone like to see swatches of any specific color? A couple of people told me this looked like a sunset/sunrise:)



On top of the gradient I used two coats of Northern Lights Top Coat. LOVE that stuff!

What do you think of my gradients? I'de love to see your gradients!

Until Next Time!
