Gold and Teal

I am really happy with how this turned out the stamp is crisp and the placement is good. I do wish I had used studs instead I think the stones are a bit yellow.
This is 2 coats of OPI Ski Teal We Drop stamped with Essie Good as Gold, I do not recall the plate name (I will try to be batter about this) the stones are from ebay.

Roses and Diamonds

So I tried out the Migi Nail art pens again, I like them marginally better but I am not sure they are really any easier than a detail brush and as mentioned they take a while to dry.
I started with 2 coats of Yh beja Yellow creme and I used Migi Nail pen in Pink to make some roses and then added stones from ebay for an accent and topped with Poshe.









I found this stupid hard to do and took longer than normal to do and dry. I do wish I had used pink or yellow stones instead of the clear and I sort of wish I had used more than 1 color for the roses.  My left hand is only marginally better than my right so all in all I do not hate this entirely.

So Close but Wrong Base

I had to try this again this time the stones matched but, I wish I had chosen a different base for this I think these 2 colors do not compliment as much as I had hoped.
This is 3 coats of Orly Shine. I then taped off sections of my nails with french nail strips and then added Amy's Nail Boutique Trendsetter and topped off with stones from ebay and a coat of Poshe.





















I wish this had turned out a bit better and I will definitely give it another go in the future the stones are almost a perfect match. I also hate that I couldn't pick up the holo effect from trendsetter.  Amy's Nail Boutique makes some beautiful jewel tone holographic polishes they are beautifully packaged, my only complaint would be that they are a bit shear so Ideally you should layer over a similar color or maybe white to get it very opaque.  As usual I bought this polish and I wasn't compensated in any way.

So Shiny

I took this idea from Rainbow Creativity's Post. I loved how it looked.

I used 3 coats of Jade Supernova, added striping tape and 1 coat of Kleancolor metallic Red, pulled off the tape and added some stones from ebay and topped with Poshe. Unfortunately my stones didnt match I should have used metallic pink instead because I don't have stones this deep of a red :'(

Look at this Shinyness Supernova is gorgeous and I don't even like yellow.






















This was so pretty I so wish the stones would have matched. Also Super nova is a bitch to get off your cuticles so try not to get any on your cuticles.
