Luck of the Irish

Howdy yall!

 I know I'm late with posting this but I honestly haven't had the time. But now it's here and that's all that matters...right? :-D

Okay, so I did an Irish theme for St. Patrick's Day, and I thought it came out pretty good.

Tools:

• Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Hardener Clear
• Shades of the Season: Clear
• Shades of the Season: Green Glitter
• Kleancolor Nail to Toe: Popping Green
• NYC: High Line Green
• Rimmel French Manicure Pro: French Lingerie 
• Bundle Monster Plate: BM03

I liked the way this looked on its own but I figured I'd continue with the original idea and do a little more. add some glitter and pizzazz! Hehe (NYC High Line Green for tips)

So I added the design from Bundle Monster Plate design (BM03) (Kleancolor Popping green for design). Wait for everything to dry well and applied the Green Glitter to all green areas.

I Hope you enjoyed this design as much as I did.

See you next time,

Kelly-Ann.

New Polish AGAIN!

Hellooooo,

Seriously, I think I have a problem now, I keep buying nail polish when I honestly don't need it. But as usual I just can't help myself. But anyway went to the supermarket and ended up buying nail polish. My reason for it is that I needed nail polish for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. LOL Best reasons ever.

In order from left to right: Milani Jewel FX: Fuchsia, Milani: Yellow Whiz, Revlon: Sassy, and NYC: High Line Green.

I cannot wait to try them out and do my St Patrick's Day and Easter experiments!

See you soon,

Kelly-Ann.

Silver Has Fun

Howdy yall!

Today I did something simple pattern with a number of colours with the base colour  being the same silver I have on my fingers (I really do love that silver).

Tools:

• Kleancolor: Cobalt
• Kleancolor: Neon Aqua
• Kleancolor: Metallic Pink
• Kleancolor: Silver
• Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Hardener
• Shades of the Season: Clear
• EBay Fauxnad Plates: m63 & m12
• Konad Stamp

As you can see the pattern is pretty, but also my clean-up method is really no method at all besides when I shower it washes off. I give up the whole clean-up thing. HA!

I used the Cobalt and Neon Aqua for the first pattern and the Metallic Pink for the second. I like using the Kleancolor brand to stamp, but the Cobalt colour is very translucent and doesn't show up as bright as I'd like it to. Still like the design though, hope you do too.

Love you lots,

Kelly-Ann.

Every Black Flower has a Silver Lining

Hi everyone!

Today I tried something a little different. I've never used stamping on every finger before because I find it difficult, but it didn't turn out too bad. I am going to attempt again one day soon. But for now here is my first attempt at stamping every finger.

Tools:

• Kleancolor: Black
• Kleancolor: Silver
• Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Hardener
• Shades of The Season: Clear
• Mash double sided stamper
• EBay Fauxnad Plate: m57

Honestly I love this colour, I think it is so beautiful by itself.

Well as you can see i didn't exactly put the pattern on properly, but it came out pretty well. What I did was use the ends of the patterns and placed them in the corners. On some of my fingers I did not line it up well.

All in all it was pretty nice and hasn't started chipping yet. 

Until next time...

Princess Pink Nails

When I first did this I was soooooo proud of them. I just thought they were extremely pretty, after 1 day I began to get tired of them and rubbed them off. But they were still nice. I ended up going almost a week without doing my nails.

Tools:

• Sally Hansen: Tough Chick
• Shades of the Season: Silver Glitter
• Shades of the Season: Clear
• Sally Hansen: Hard As Nails Hardener

This is such a beautiful colour. Lovely pink. Only required 1-2 coats.

This picture was taken with a flash.

This one was taken in natural light, which looks a lot better than with the flash.

Great Review by Canadian Nail Fanatic

I just read a GREAT review by Canadian Nail Fanatic on using alternative brands for nail stamping aside from using the expensive Konad special nail polish (which I have never used as it is too expensive for me).

Surprisingly enough the one she preferred aside from the Konad was the brand I use which is Kleancolor. I love using the Kleancolor brand for any stamping I do, as a result of that I probably have about 18 Kleancolor colors. The Sheer Lilac is a lovely color to use when stamping.

Here is the Kleancolor Sheer Lilac:

She had also mentioned Wet n' Wild brand, which I really do not like for stamping. Whenever I use it it tends to peel and not stick to the nail properly and I end up having to use and orange stick to tap it down. She mentioned as well, how faint it was as a black polish, I also had this issue and using the Kleancolor was amazing to me when I switched.

 Anyway enough of my rambling, I will post the review link below.
