Infinity Snowflake Stamping

This is the first Infinity plate that I have tried. Really happy with it. I ordered a few more at the same time and can't wait to use them.
The base is Barry M Sugar Apple, stamped with Mentality blue opaque and Konad special silver. The plate is Infinity 79. This is one of those mani's that I liked some of nails and some not so much. I even managed to get a picture of my "other" hand to show you.

I know there are a lot of snowflake nails but there are so many options for them. Kind of like an actual snowflake, no two are the same.

Thanksgiving Nail Stamping

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadians!

I did turkey nails last year, so this year I went with leaves and pumpkins.
My base is OPI You're So Vainilla. Stamping done with Mentaliy opaque orange and Prim. Filled in with L'Oreal Creme de Mint and Mango Mamma.
Plates are Bundle Monster H11 and Cici & Sisi plate 03.

I thought it was pretty cute. Lots of fall colours.  The Bundle Monster plate (pumpkins) was fussy to work with, but no issues with the leaf pattern. And I threw in some pics of You're So Vainilla. I love these beige-ish nude shades. Great for nail art!

Thanks for the visit! Hope you enjoyed. Gobble Gobble :)

Butterfly and Dragonfly stamping with Dollarama plates

Good day to everyone!

Today I have some stamping for you. I was testing out a few plates and polishes, so you're getting an odd looking manicure! My base is  Essie Resort Fling which you can see a review of here.  These plates came from a set I found at my local dollar store. The set was $3.00 ( I think ) and came with 5 plates, a stamper, and scraper. The stamper is garbage, but for the price it doesn't really matter! The few designs that I used all worked great.

The plates used are labelled SE18 SE19 and SE21. I couldn't seem to find an actual brand name anywhere.
 Stamping polishes are Konad Deep Jungle, Mundo de Unas # 14 Violet, and Mentality Sly.
I guess we have all learned not to ignore our dollar stores, you never know what treasures you may find. I'll add the links for where you can find the polishes. Have a great day everyone.

Mentality Polish Divergent

Divergent is a newer release from Mentality.

This is a black leaning dark purple holographic polish. Two coats for full coverage. Could be a one coater if I had applied more carefully. This dries to a semi matte finish, so you will need top coat to bring out the full holo effect. Top coat will also help with leveling issues. I did have a few. Overall, I was pretty happy with this one!
First pics are in shade followed by indirect sun. In the shade it appears more of just a black holo then it does in sun.

Mentality polish can be found at their site HERE. International shipping is available, but there are some restrictions. I purchased this from Harlow & Co which also ships worldwide.
Thanks for dropping by! Hope you have a great weekend.

Lead Light Nail Stamping and Glitter oh my!

Hello everyone.  I'm back with more lead light stamping for you today.  Or, as I like to call it, paint by numbers.  I know, I am dating myself ; ) And glitter of course!
I'll list all the polishes used after the photos.

The base colour for all nails is Color Club Look, Don't Tusk. The stamping is Mentality Scoundrel and MoYou London plate pro 08. The glitter accent nails are done with Glam Polish Day Dreamer. The lead lighting is done with L'Oreal jellies in Lilac Coolers, Creme de Mint, Bananarama Love,  Jolly Lolly, and Berry Nice.
For those that have tried this technique using the OPI Sheer Tints, I have to mention that the L'Oreals work much better.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed!
Credit for this technique goes to Messy Mansion.

Mentality Meeny plus stamping

Today I have Mentality Meeny for you to ogle!

Meeny is an olive leaning green holographic. Definite gold flash to this. This is one of Mentality's stamping polishes, but you obviously don't just have to use it for stamping. Photos show two coats of Meeny with top coat. There are some minimal brush strokes visible. The stamping is done with Meeny over Julep Kate using MoYou plate  sailor 04. No issues with the polish being picked up by the stamp. I was using a squishy stamper.

Please visit the Mentality Polish shop HERE. If you live outside the US and would like to purchase they have a list of stockists HERE. Not all polishes are available at these other sites.

Thanks for stopping to check out my post!

OPI Taupeless Beach and Nail Vinyls decals

Good morning folks! Lots to talk about today.

First up we have OPI Taupeless Beach from their new Brazil collection. The colour is pretty self explanatory. I had full coverage in two coats. This is a very nice neutral creme. Work appropriate too!

Next I broke out my Zebra pattern decals from Nail Vinyls. I decided to mix it up a bit and use them vertically on my nail instead of horizontally. The decals are easy to apply and remove. For my stripes I used Mentality Prim, which is a brown holo. I really liked the combination of these colours.

Nail Vinyls can be found HERE and Mentality Polish can be found HERE.  OPI is available at various places. Thanks for stopping by today.

Festive Stamping with MoYou London

Yes, I know this isn't the best stamping ever, but it was a victory of sorts. I finally managed to get a squishy stamper to work! (mostly)

I used MoYou London plate Festive 04. Base colour is Julep Kate and stamped with Mentality Sexy. So, overall this turned out okay. I think the biggest problem is that the designs are too big for my itty, bitty nails! Live and learn, I now know not to order the XL plates. The regular will be fine for my nail size.

As you can see, the patterns were too big for my nails. Still proud of myself for making improvements. Thanks for having a look today!

Stamped Snowflake

Snowflake stamping using MoYou London christmas collection plate 3.

My base colour is Jessica Standing Ovation. Stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold and Mentality Polish in Scalawag.

I feel like my stamping is getting better. I still seem to fight with my squishy stampers though. They just don't like me.
MoYou London plates can be purchased HERE. Mentality Polish can be purchased HERE. The Jessica and Maybelline can be purchased through various places.
