Ice cream and Candy

As you guys saw in my last post its one of my nephews birthdays this weekend, so I decided to do a "birthday" themed manicure. I finally got to use the ice cream adn cupcake stamp on my MLS301 plate. Ive been wanting to use it for a while and figured this one the perfect time to.

I started out with 4 coats of Orly Glow Stick, a neon yellow cream from Orly's new Feel The Vibe collection. I love this color so much, its so ridiculously bright but it does take quiet a few coat to get opaque, if you layered it over white you'd get to use less. I then stamped over it with Konad blue polish since its for a boys birthday but I then decided to add a few pink polka dots with Orly Beach Cruiser also from the Feel The Vibe collection.

I love the way this turned out its so bright and cheerful, definatly perfect for a 7 year olds birthday.

Now I have to show you a picture of his cake, im sooo happy with it!!! He mentioned to my dad that he wanted a baseball cake he has no idea that I made him one :)

I cant wait to see my niece and nephews tomorrow, sadly my brother has them the weekends I work so I don't get to see them as often as id like but I make the most out of the time when I do therefore you guys wont hear from me again until sunday. So i hope you all have a great weekend.

Also I hit 100 followers today!!! So next week lookout for a giveaway!!! Thank you all again for being so dedicated, I read each and every comment even thou I don't reply right away. However I have caught up on those finally he he. Thanks again thou I greatly appreciate all of your guys support <3!!!

China Glaze Neons Animal Print

I figured id change my manicure for the party tonight and figured what better colors to use then the new China Glaze Neon's!!! I will swatch these all on a hand for you this week to see since you only get a bit of each color on this manicure. I used 6 colors on each hand and then stamped over it with my MLS 301 plate using konad black and then used a white stripe rite for the dots.

For the left hand : (first color is closest to the cuticle, other is on the tip)

Pinkie and Thumb - Love's a beach and I'm with the lifeguard

Ring and Pointer - Sun-kissed and Ride the waves

Middle - Flirty tankini and Under the boardwalk

For the right hand : (first color is closest to the cuticle, other is on the tip)

Pinkie and Thumb - Hang-ten toes and Splish splash

Ring and Pointer - Orange you hot? and Beach cruise-r

Middle - Pink plumeria and Surfin' for boy's

I love how bright these colors are. Since ride the waves is a jelly it altered the color a bit being over the yellow but I love the color is did make. Ill tell you more about each color when I swatch them all for you :)

Now onto the stamping which I think ties it all together :)

What do you guys think? Do you guys need these colors from this little preview???

ASBMF: Chicks and Eggs

Sorry for no posts yesterday, Ive had such a busy past few days Ive been exhausted. I have down half of the crackle swatching thou and done 2 untried manicures and once challenge. Ill do 2 of the blog posts for you lovely readers tonight :) And hopefully on my day off I can go though and read all of your guys lovely comments <3

So today I did the ASBMF Chicks and Eggs challenge. I took a differnt spin on it wanting to try some stamping. Please bare with me on this one, this is the first time I used Sally Hansen Instant Dry polishes to stamp. I used Fushia Flare and Blue-away, as well as Billie Purple. For the bird I used plate MLS 301 and for the dots and lines I used QA3. The base color is 2 coats of Billie French White with 2 coats of Kleancolor Sugar Coat over top :)

I really like the birds I think they are kind of Chick-ish and I like my little spin on the tradition egg. What do you guys think?

Now if you want to see more amazing manicure from these challenge, head on over to the other lovely ladies blogs :)

Orly Glowstick and Beach Cruiser!!!

I am sooo excited for this post today!!!! I am in love with the new Orly Feel the vibe collection, and have been dying to use these bright colors all day long after the craptacular weather we had with the freezing temperatures and snow/freezing rain!!!

As soon as these came into my work today I had to snatch them up and then coming home to my new plate made this day even better!!!

However first well get to swatches of the 2 colors :)

First up is Orly Glow Stick, its a neon yellow jelly. It took 4 coats to get fully opaque however you can probably due less if you layered it over a white. The formula on this was perfect and applied like a dream!!!

Isn't this color incredible!!! Its even brighter in person if you can even imagine that!! I cant wait to do a pedicure with this or even do a funky color blocking manicure with it!!!

Now Beach Cruise is a neon pink cream, I used 3 coats for this manicure but could have gotten away with 2. It also applied like a dream, i think this is my new favorite hot pink. If your a pink fan you need this color!!!

Again this color is brighter in person. And I can tell you now i'm not going to want to take this manicure of tomorrow.

Now I was in love with these before I even stamped my animal print on it. Please be easy on me i'm fairly new at stamping especially full nail designs, but I absolutely love this and think it turned out pretty freaking good :)

A few places didn't transfer completely but that was due to my lack of skill not the plate. The plate was absolutely perfect, it transferred beautifully to the stamper. I used Konad black for the stamping and the plate was MLS 301

So what do you guys think of this? Anyone else ready for summer like I am :) xo

Haul and new stamping plate!!!!

Today at my work we got a whole whack of new colors and collections in, I was in polish heaven!!! We got Orly Feel the vibe, dark shadows, and there new core colors. Finger Paints Summer in the city, and China Glaze Glitter crackles.

I figured id buy some of the Orly's today since Ive been lemming after there neon's for quiet awhile now!!! Here are some bottle shots and swatches for ya :)

After party, Beach cruiser, Glow stick, Melt your Popsicle, Bubbly bombshell, and Buried alive

I am in love with the 4 from the Feel your vibe collection, they are soooo bright and the picture doesn't do the shimmer in the black any justice. Also the Buried alive is an awesome color, ill try and do a manicure with it soon :)

Now as you all know Konad Q1 plate is a very popular one but hard to get, so I got the dupe MLS 301.

Isn't it pretty!!!! I couldn't wait to use it so they manicure I did after this has the ripped animal print stamped on it. The plate worked perfectly!!!!

Now stay tuned for my next post which will be done right now using 2 of the new Orly's and this plate!!!
