OPI DS Perfection

I have been absent far too long.  I apologize.  Been super busy around here.  We had some new furniture delivered and basically moved everything out and moved all the new stuff in.  I have been putting stuff away, cleaning, re-organizing, donating and tossing stuff out.  I am proud to say that I am done!  I have a new living room and bedroom.  I am so excited!!  

I have such a pretty pink to share with you today.  It's OPI DS Perfection.  It's got a little bit of a gold shimmer.  You can really see it in the bottle, not so much on the nail.  But I still love it.  It's soooo pretty!!

Base Coat:  Seche REBUILD

Adventures in Stamping: Beth's Birthday

I haven't participated in  stamping challenge for a while.  I am as slacker :(  But, seeing as how it is Beth's Birthday (daughter of the AIS founder) I decided I needed to do a cute birthday mani.  I didn't have a lot of time so I went with cute and simple.  Plus, I got to try out a new polish.  I am loving this holo pink, and I don't usually go for pinks.  Aaaaaannnnnnd, I got to use my new MASH plates!  Fun Fun Fun.....Hope you like what I came up with: pink, holo-y and girly :)

OPI DS Magic

Happy Memorial Day!!  This is gonna be a short post, just a quick swatch for you.  I am wearing OPI DS Magic, I LOVE THIS BLUE!  Blue is quickly becoming a favorite color of mine.  This went on super easy and was opaque in 2 coats. Like my Memorial Day mani?

Teal Tuesday: Splatter

It's Tuesday again, time for another challenge.  This week is splatter.  I know, another technique I have never tried.  Still haven't actually.  I waited too long to do this mani and just barely looked up how to's on you tube this morning.  I decided that it was going to take too long and be quit messy.  I have lots of house chores I need to get done today.  So I pulled out my Image Plates and got to hunting.  I have 4 that have some sort of splatter design in them, YES!!  I can stamp my way through this one.  Kind of cheating I guess.  But hey, at least I didn't dismiss this one all together, right?  Besides, I had received some awesome nail mail yesterday and had already painted my nails last night.  I didn't want to take a chance on messing that up.  Here is what I ended up with

Base Coat:  Seche Retain

Base Color:  OPI DS Sapphire

Base Splatter:  Kleancolors Metallic Aqua

Main Splatter:  Konad Special Black

Stamping Plates:  Bundle Monster BM 202 and Cheeky B38
