Stamping 101

So, a couple of weeks ago, I tried to stamp my nails. Holy Hell. I tried everything without success. I thought to myself "I can do this!" The first thing I did was buy some Mundo de Unas stamping polish. The second thing I did was check out you tube. Trust me when I say I have looked at a bazillion you tube videos, many on nail stamping. I came across one channel that helped me immensely was a channel with 3140babygirl. I will put her channel link here ---->https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu6v48BvdeLN--6bnnR6yoA. She has a Stamping 101 video that I thought was really awesome. You should check her out. You wont be disappointed. 





 On my thumb, middle and ring finger I used China Glaze For Audrey.
This is a Tiffany box blue/green color with a cream finish. If you don't have it, you should pick it up.  To stamp, I used Mundo De Unas stamping polish in 22 Brown. I can't stress enough, if you are going to stamp your nails, get some of this. I have some Konad and compared to Konad, the Mundo de Unas is much better. For the rose stamp I used the Fab Ur Nails Fun 13 stamping plate. I used Glisten & Glow, HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny Clear Top Coat.





For the index and pinky nails, I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri In Nude-tral. This is a dark buff color with a cream finish. To stamp, I used Mundo de Unas in 24 Aqua. The stamping plate I used was Mash 40. Again I topped it off with Glisten & Glow, HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny Clear Top Coat. (Thank goodness for copy & paste)

I will put the links download for everything I used.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Another sunny Saunday

And hotter then Hell. When it's already 75 degrees at 7:30 in the morning, you know it's going to be hot. Too freaking hot. So, I'm nice and cool indoors, doing my nails...and fighting off a migraine. I saw today's idea on Pinterest. Here's the link. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829801950580/ These are so pretty. It looks like the white is 3-D but I didn't have supplies to do that.  So, per usual, I improvised.  Here we go... Base coat as always. I used French manicure guides to mark where I wanted the polish to end.  Wait for it....Yep, you are so right,! Amazon. I used Essie Loot the Booty for the blue. This polish has just a hit of super fine shimmer in it. For the white, I used Mundo de Unas nail stamping polish. You should find it here. http://www.mundodeunas.com/ For the teeny dots, I used a dotting (Amazon) and L.A. Girl Color Pop White On. I bought mine at Rite-Aid but my store doesn't have it any longer. Top coat - Sa

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For  me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl

Happy Mother's Day.

Greetings:  I hope all of the Mother's have a blessed day. Children are amazing. I have seven of my own and many of my children's friends that I claim as my own. I bought some new polish on Thursday. I bought a dark pink, a nice blue, a sand color and a sparkly fairy dust color. The blue reminded me of my Mom's blue eyes.  I lost her in 2003. It doesn't get any easier. It's just life. I miss her terribly. She was very special. Let's get the show on the road. First, a base coat. Your choice. I used the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer in Light Medium. I used one coat to create a smooth surface. I chose Pure Ice Shine Rain & Shine. Thins is a nice cornflower blue. Two coats.  For the glitter I used Glitter Lambs Million Dollar Gradient. I love this color. It's gold, gold and more gold. It's  a "bam"in your face gold. With glitter polish, the first Coat you need to "place" more then "paint" it on. Th
