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.

Love Birds

I started off with 1 coat of Sally Hansen Jungle Gem and then added 2 coats of Sancion Granito. Granito is a green tinted jelly with copper blue and green flakies, it is very pretty in person.
I stamped BM H22, using Mentality Proper, a set of love birds.

Weirdly enough, even though Proper is drastically different than Granito, because the copper flakies were so strong, it actually made this stamping really subtle in real life.  Granito can be layered to Opacity but it would be 4 coats or at least 3 thick coats and I don't have the patience for that kind of drying time.

Beige-y

This is 3 coats of Top Beauty Amarula which is a pink toned taupe-y sort of color. I added 2 coats of Kleancolor Silver Lining on my ring finger. I have always loved Silver Lining but I just cant find how to use it so it is shown off well it really is very pretty.
Any how I stamped over it with XL plate S using OPI My Private Jet, then added some silver glitters to each of the little flowers, In retrospect probably should have used pink to tie it in better with my accent nail.

See how pretty and long my nails are, yes long out past my finger tips on almost every finger this is an accomplishment for me. :P

Blue Circuits

I used 2 coats of China Glaze Calypso Blue which is a really super pretty dark blue.
I used XL plate L  and Color Club Harp On It to stamp a sorta circuit board looking design and then added some Aqua and Iridescent glitter from eBay.

I just love the CC holos, even more when stamped over dark colors.

Pink and Green Do Not Go Well

Well, normally it does, but in this case I just wasn't feeling it. The stamp even came out OK. I didn't like it much though and as such did not get many pics, well only the one.
I have here 3 coats of Essie Navigate Her with 2 coats of Darling Diva Soap Poisoning  layered over top then stamped it with MOS stamping polish in pink using  BM plate H23

I couldn't really get the Soap Poisoning to show up well you can sorta see it on the pointer and middle finger. meh

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.

Fuzzy Hearts

This is 3 coats of Smitten Pink Goes Good with Green I stamped a heart from Shany XXL 2 using
Kleancolor Metallic Pink. Though I suppose any pink would do, once that dried I when over the heart with some clear polish and a dotting tool then sprinkled some hot pink flocking powder, that I got off ebay, over the top of it.  Leaving me with cutsey fuzzy pink hearts which I could not stop touching :)

Overall, Im super happy with my first steps into the flocking world. I know the hearts arent totally even and there is room for improvement always but I was happy with this look.

Under the Sea

I just have to say these next 2 colors are so so very pretty, sparkley, shimmery goodness.
I used 3 coats for CQ Silver Taupe and Gem Green for the mermaid I used XXL Konad knock off row m34 stamped with Mash Black and for the shells I used Winstonia w108 stamped with Barry M Gold.

The shimmer of the Gem Green  just didn't show well it is so so pretty. Over all I very much liked this look, the stamping came out fairly well for both accent and other nails.

Starry Mess

This is 3 coats of CQ Tahitian Green with 1 coat of Hits Jazz. I cannot for the life of me remember which plate and I really did look. I stamped with  China Glaze Calypso Blue and used some star glitter from eBay.

It really is bit of a mess I like the greens together but I didnt care for the stamping at all.

Americana

The problem with having your posts go in a que is that some times they aren't very timely.
I did this post a few days before Independence Day.

I started with 1 coat of Polish Me To Go White Undies over that I added 2 coats  of Princessa white. On my pointer finger I did 2 coats of  China Glaze Starboard.
I used Vivid Lacquer plate Vl 005 stamped with Starboard for the stars on middle 2 fingers
and plate sh214 stamped using Konad White on my pointer. I used the XXL Konad knockoff row m14 stamped with Starboard and Avon Reviving Red for the USA Star and I did stripes using Avon Reviving Red.

I was fairly happy with how this turned out particularly my thumbs.

Reeds

I saw this look on someone in Adventures in Stamping group but they had done it in red with a gold holo and it was just stunning.
I used 2 coats of Illamasqua Rampage and plate pueen46 stamped using Color Club Kismet.

I think this turned out well, I did receive compliments. I do wish I had been able to center the design better and this is one of those times I wish my nails would grow a bit longer and stay.

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

Quilted Holo

I had seen several people do this look with the beads but I was hesitant to try it being that I lack patience as general rule and also coordination. I thought though what the heck so here we go.
I started with 3 coats of Color Club Cherubic and used my XXL Konad knock off  plate row m72 for thumb and Cheeky ch11 for the rest, stamped with Mash Black Stamper. The beads I got from a swap pal.

Yes there are crap loads of pics because it took me ages to do and neither of my brothers were not even a tiny bit impressed with my skillz.
