Faux Watermarble with KBShimmer In Bare Form

I've been wanting to try a faux watermarble. The design on my Bundle Monster BM-320 gave me the idea, and I've seen other mani's using stamps to give a watermarbled look. (For those of us that are watermarble dunces, haha!)

Rainbow-licious Nails with ILNP Mega!

I've finally attempted stamping with multiple colors... and I am in love! I foresee a lot of different color combinations in my future with this technique. For my first attempt I wanted something bright and summery, and rainbow-licious. Is that a word? Hehehe. :)
 I started with a base of ILNP Mega. I used three coats. I then put a small strip of  Mundo de Unas: Neon Green, Turquoise, Purple, Fuchsia on my stamping plate. I scraped sideways and all the colors blended really nicely. I stamped with Winstonia Store third generation plate: W310, (the upper left image). I sealed everything with Seche Vita topcoat. What do you all think? I honestly can't stop staring at my nails this week. I love them! 
I'm also still crushing over my new work space. I love it! I can confirm the top is acetone resistant... I may have knocked a polish over and had to clean it up. If you haven't read my blog about my new space, check it out here. 
Have you tried stamping with multiple colors?

Have a Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year later tonight! I don't usually do year end posts, or top polish posts, but I did decide to make a collage of my favorite nail art from this year. :) Thanks for reading, and for all of the comments you leave, it is much appreciated. I look forward to sharing more blog posts with you all in 2015!


I also decided to do some New Years Eve Nails. For these nails I used the following: Painted Polish Drunk on Holo, Ellagee Crushed Garnet. Stamping plates used: Bundle Monster BM-H20BM-320, and Winstonia Store W117. Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas Fuchsia, Aqua, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep. They didn't turn out quite like I wanted, I think maybe I should have kept the base darker on all the nails so the stamping showed better. But... they are still cute, and super sparkly in person! :)

Simple Holiday Stamping.

I have been slacking on Holiday nails this year. I've just been feeling a bit "blah" this holiday season. I didn't even put out my Christmas decorations until December 22nd!

Anyhow, to get in the holiday mood, I decided to start off with some simple stamping. I painted my nails with Chaos & Crocodiles: Security Breach, Night Vision, and Orly Mirrorball on my ring finger. Then I used MDU Avocado, Maybelline Metallics Bold Gold, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Redio Active to stamp with. The stamping plates I used are: Winstonia Store W222, and W120.


Oh yeah! I recently picked up some Mundo de Unas stamping polishes. They come from Mexico so it took exactly one month before I received them. I decided to order the minis, since I didn't want any of them to break during shipping. People have complained they have a strong odor, but I didn't find them any stronger than say, Seche Vite or Klean Color nail polish. If you're sensitive to strong scents though, then these probably aren't for you. But... boy do they ever stamp amazing! Now I understand why so many people who stamp, rave about MDU.

My holiday decorations.

I do have at least two more ideas for holiday nails, so hopefully I will get them on the blog sometime this week! I hope everyone has a nice holiday!
