Lazy Days of Summer: Inspired by your favorite towel

This next challenge is a cute one.  Inspired by your favorite towel.....I have to say, I don't have any favorite or fancy towels.  We just have beige and white towels here.  A couple kids towels but they are by no means a favorite.  I do however have a cute beach towel that is pink and white stripes.  I could call this my favorite towel.  It certainly isn't as boring as beige and white!  Here is my interpretation of said towel

Base Color: Sinful Colors 24/7

Shimmer:  Sally Hansen HD LCD

Stripes:  L.A. Colors in Black and White

Glitter:  L.A. Colors Silver Striper

Top Coat:  Seche Vite

I added the black and glitter for a little pop.  I really like this technique, I used it HERE when I was just getting started.  I didn't look up any striping mani's so I have no idea if this has been done.  But, I will continue to do this, I love the way it tuns out :)

Here are the other gals doing the challenge:

Stamping Sunday: Easter Mani

Yay!  It's Easter!!  Hope everyone has a special day planned.  I know I do :)  This week's challenge over in AIS is Easter.  I don't have any plates with cute little bunnies or eggs.  So I thought I would do a little grass scene on all my nails. It was looking ok, then I decided to start over and do a little layering.  My grass was so cute, green and sparkly....then I started to stamp some flowers, bees and butterflies.  Let me just tell you, this is not the mani you will be seeing today.  It seriously looked I let a 5 year old stamp all over my nails.  It was terrible.  So I decided to go simple and more Spring-y.  I chose to do a pink gradient with a silver full image stamp.  This is by far the best out of the 3 attempts.  Is it Easter-y?  Prob not.  But I WAS going to go with a black mani and call it Easter at night LOL I was sooooo bummed with my first 2 attempts.  What do you think?  Don't the the polish missing on the side of my ring finger.  Got a little carried away with the acetone.
