Swatchy Post

This is 2 coats CQ Slate with an accent of HM All Hail The Queen.

All in all I love green, so I liked this, the glitter spread smoothly, I don't love it but it is ok.

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.

Stars and Stripes

For this I started with 1 coat of  Polish Me To Go White Undies and 2 coats Princessa white. I used Avon Reviving Red  to make the stripes. On the accent I have 2 coats China Glaze Starboard and some hand placed star glitter from eBay.

I felt like the stripes on my left hand were bit more even but I still think I need more practice. I do wish i had more sparsely spaced the stars but it was a very sparkly look.

Sloppy Stripes

Something that has become apparent to me in the last few manis is that I realy need to work on my stripes. They are uneven and wonky and I'd really like to do better.

I started with an accent of 2 coats of Jindie Nails Talk Nerdy 2 Me, and 3 coats Picture Polish Twinkle which I striped with a dark blue striper and a hot pink striper and topped off with Sally Hansen Deb-u-tint.

As mentioned in the title I feel the stripes are a bit sloppy. I am also not sure of the colors together altogether this look left me blah.

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.
