Nail Art: Blushing Roses with Polished by KPT Camellia and LilyAnna stamping...

Happy Weekend everyone! I'm having a late start to the day, but I wanted to show you this manicure that I created a few days ago. The idea for this came from nail art created by Amateur Manicure. If you are not already following her, then what are you waiting for? There is nothing amateur about her manicures, they are all incredibly gorgeous! In one of my favorites, she had the brilliant idea to stamp with white over black and then top it off with a sheer polish for color. She shows this off in her OPI Sheer Tinted Stamping manicure that left me speechless at the sheer genius of it. No pun intended! Easy pastels over black?! I'll be trying that with my Sheer Tints soon, but I'm getting side tracked...

Playing off the idea of topping white stamping with a sheer polish, I decided to try it out with a sheer thermal for a blushing effect..

Black Raffian Inspired...

Way back when my blog was just a baby and I was getting my feet wet in the world of nail art, I came across this manicure by Lacquerized and instantly fell in love. It has been on my must try list ever since. When I sat down to play around with the OPI Gwen Stefani collection, one look at the chrome silver and matte black and I knew exactly what I had to do!...

El Corazon Shine of Jewels

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you nail art that I created recently while I was swatching an El Corazon beauty. Although I didn't have anything specific in mind when I started out, I was mesmerized (and I'll show you why) by a dragon featured on the bottle label. I picked a stamping design that reminded me of dragon scales and embellished from there...

Lily Pads with Lili Anna and El Corazon...

Hi Everyone! Today I have a manicure to show you which I really enjoyed wearing for a few days last week. It was inspired by a couple of Lily Anna stamping plates which were sent to me by the lovely Julia of Messy Mansion. I really like this water lily design and it only seemed appropriate to introduce myself to Lily Anna plates with a water lily pattern ;)
