Lacey Nails

I have to say some of my very favorite polishes have been no named one off type brands and this polish is no exception.
This is 2 coats of Haute Nails no name on my thumb, pinky and pointer. It is almost a neon coral-red it applies super smooth. On my ring and middle finger I have 3 coats of Del Sol Candy Cane(which changes from white to dark pink in the sun but sadly I didnt get pic). I then stamped using plate dash24 and the opposite color.

While the nail line is visible in pics it was not in real life. I loved this lacey design even though I messed up the stamp a bit. I do find it irksome that the primary ones I messed up were on the white and the middle finger where it would show the most.

Barry M Swatch Remodel

I was not content with just the swatching so I top coated with 2 coats of Polish Me To Go Summer Lights and stamped with Barry M Silver foil, using a design from plate XXL Shany 2.

I felt like the Summer Lights glitter topper spread really evenly and had a really lovely glow in the dark.  I am super pleased with the stamping I think I got placement ok and the stamps are really crisp for the most part.

Barry M Swatch

These are just Barry M Swatches, 2 coats each of Watermelon (green) and Blackberry(Blue).
I do like Barry M it does just glide on and it ususally doesn't take a billion coats to look nice.

Blackberry on the pinky and pointer and Watermellon on the ring and middle finger.

Simple Chevron

I love some glow in the dark goodness so when I saw some I had to buy it. If I were more talented as a photographer I would show you the glowy goodness as such I am not so no glow for you.

I started with 3 coats of Polish Me to Go Honey My Dew and Pinky Promise alternating nails. I thought while these were fairly true to color. They were a bit gritty and I had some problems with drag but the dragging problem could have been my fault.  I was going to leave it but I was feeling like I had been lazy about doing my nails properly. So I used some cheveron french guides and Ninja Polish Eye Candy to make an accent on my ring finger.

I like the simplicity of this. If I did it again I would probably have the chevron pointing down or maybe two intersecting one pointing up and one pointing down.

Flowers and Stripes

I thought I'd do some roses again and maybe try to do striping. I think this turned out alright but I think I like my first attempt better :)
I started with 3 coats of Chick Cutie Pie. To make the stripes I used a striping brush and Ulta The Jungle Look (green)  and Princessa (pink).  To make the roses I used Princessa (pink) to make some blobs to start then I used a small detail brush and Dashica Stamper(red) Princessa (pink) Mentality Suede to add detail to the roses. I used Ulta The Jungle Look (green) to paint in some leaves.

I showed in both lights, I think the ones at bottom are more true to color. While I am fairly happy with how this turned out I do think my first attempt was better.

Mentality Nail Polish - Siren

Mentality Polish, Siren is described as a burgundy red holographic polish with purple flecks.
For me, even in person, I found purple to be the most prominent color, though I did catch it shift through burgundy to purple to almost grey finally to an almost lilac color.

Again sorry for the swatchy month, I've been a lazy bugger.

A-England ST George

aEngland Saint George is a Dark teal scattered holographic. It is just beautiful, several people have swatched it and better than me, but I just couldn't bring myself to stamp on it.
