Onyx and Gold

I started with 3 coats of Tough as Nails Lacquer Famine: The Black Horse and 3 coats of Femme Fatale Sparkling Sands as an accent.  Stamped with BM 215(accent) and BM 07  using Mash Black and Barry M gold respectively.  I then added some Black and gold rhinestones.

I really do love how this turned out. I do wish I could find an bright yellow Indian gold stamping polish. The stamping turned out OK, I still haven't gotten centering things down quite yet but I do think I am getting better.

Birthday Nails

 I did these nails for my oldest niece's birthday I can hardly believe she is 16, we still call her lizard-breath, well I do, she would kill her siblings for it :p.

I started with 2 coats  of Barry M Grapefruit and added an additional 2 coats of Different Dimension Comfortably Numb. WithStamp BM H19  using Konad White, I added the happy birthday and a cupcake which I then topped with a red pearl from ebay. Because the best cupcakes have cherries on the top. :)

No Stamp Comfortably Numb over Grapefruit

I'm pretty happy with how this came out, my niece loved it.

Plum Lotus

This is 3 coats of Catherine Arley 673 it is a sort of plummy purple with a slight hoographic lean. I used BarryM Plum to stamp the lotus image from Shany XXL 2.  I liked the stamping and I should have stopped there but I decided to add a lavendar teardrop stone to the middle of the lotus. It doesnt look terrible, I just preffered the tone on tone look of the stamping and I think the stone takes away from it more than adds to it.

Seeing Spots

This is 3 coats of  Mentality Nirvana which is described as an orange toned bronze holographic polish with copper accents. I think it leans more to gold but that's just me.
I used Cheeky plate ch11 stamped with Mash Black the  sequins and studs are from eBay

I like this look, I thought it was very cute, as usual Mentality and Mash polish are really great to work with, I liked the extra bit of shine added by the glitters and the studs were sorta cool.

Golden Roses

This is 3 coats of Catrice Steel My Soul and oh my it is so beautiful the pics don't do it justice.
I used plate dash14 stamped with Barry M Gold .

I do realize this is a ton of pics but I did want to show the polish in different light and the stamp because i think the stamp is just gorgeous

Box Inspriration

For this manicure I was inspired by a trinket box my exchange pal sent me.
I used 3 coats of  Purple Pro #50 (which a different swap pal sent)  and using plate ga50, Stamped with Barry M Silver foil and added some pink iridescent glitter from eBay.

I was fairly happy with the way this turned out, some of the glitter I didn't place very well but I think with practice I'll improve. 

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.

Chartreuse Tantalizes

This is 3 coats of Revelon Tantalize look at is so so pretty and sparkly

I thought this would look fantastic as a art deco style striping manicure and I like green and purple together so I put on tape and added 1 thick coat Barry M Bright Purple.

Yes too many Pics I know but I do really love how it turned out. I know all my striping tape manicures look similar but that is only because I am not a creative person :). I am working on it
