Nuts 4 Nails

Today my design is baby shower nails! I really like this one. The base colors is used were Sally Hansen's Pink A Card and BK #28 from Born Pretty . The stamping plate is XY-P04. Super cute! The letters are stamping plates B52 & B53. All stamping polishes are by Moyou Nails, light blue , pink and white .

This pretty color is called Waterproof by Broadway Nails. It actually does remind me of the color of water and when I think of water I think of beach towels in a chevron pattern. :) I used 2 different stamping plates here both from Bundle Monster. They are BM-423 and BM-401 .

This was just a simple stamping nail art design. I always love the classic look of black and white so I wanted to come up with a funky design. I started with a white base and then stamped on my design. When it was completely dry, I taped off areas and then painted on black. I finished off the look with some silver striping tape!  The stamping plate is hehe 003 (below). 

Hi everyone! Valentine's Day is right around the corner!! I love the hot pink and black color combo, so that is what I chose to start with. The black polish is LA Colors Nail Lacquer,  Blace Lace Creme and the pink on my ring finger is by Sinful Colors,  Boom Boom . I used a few different stamping plates for this one. Two are from Bundle Monster , # 411 and # 412 and the design on my ring finger is BP-32 from Born Pretty Store . The pink stamping polish is Ya Qin An and the black is from Born Pretty's stamping polish collection. I topped all of that off with a matte topcoat by NYC, Matte Me Crazy. You only need a thin coat and it gives any polish a totally cool matte finish.                                         Here are the images of the stamping plates I used.                        

Hi everyone!! I feel like I haven't been on here since last year!(ha,ha)  ;). Now that the madness from the holidays are over, I can get back to having some fun!

From left to right the polish names are  Static Electricty , Aquatic , Sea Foam and Meadow . The stamping plate I used is from bornprettystore.com   BP-25  and thier  black stamping polish  as well.

Have you guys seen any double stamped nails yet? I loved the look so I wanted to give it a try! I just got in a new silver stamping polish from Born Pretty Store . The  Ya Qin An pink stamping polish  I did a review on in my last post, seemed to look really cool next to the silver. They both stamp great over dark colors! It was a little tricky to find a design that would be good for a backround and one to put on top of that background. I first pained my nails pink and black. Both are by LA Colors. The pink is called Electra from the Color Craze collection and the black is from the nail lacquer collection called Black Lace Creme. The stamping plate for the background design is he-he 018 and the plate with the  flower design is   BP-09  from Born Pretty Store as well. I used a dotting tool to put the middles of the flowers and that was it!  Below are the links to the stamping polishes. I am always looking for a good new stamping polish and...

This polish called Meadow by L.A. Colors Color Craze. I used two coats over a white base. Then I  used stamping plate QA-97 from Bornprettystore.com  (bottom photo), with a white stamping polish. I painted french tips and finished it off with striping tape for a little bit of sparkle. I wanted to do something different with my middle finger but lost my creativity. What would you have done with it??  Here's the link to the stamping plate :  http://www.bornprettystore.com/product_info.php?ref=1964&products_id=15613   And as always feel free to use my 10% off code PQL91.

I get a lot of my nail design color inspiration from interior design palettes. I love this color combo of turquoise, grey and fuchsia. I was dying to try it and I just love the results!! For this design, I started with a white base. Let it dry. To do the gradient, I just apply the polish to a make up wedge and then press it onto the nail (as shown it photo below).  Then I stamped it with white stamping polish and stamping plate BP-20 from bornprettystore.com . To finish it off, I used a dotting tool to make the center of the flowers. Then I just did my clean up and put a clear coat on top. :)  I hope you all like it!!  The polishes used here are Sinful Colors-Dream On, Essie-I'm Addicted and  Sweet Color-Gray. The white stamping polish is by MoYou Nails

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a stamping plate that Born Pretty Store  kindly sent me to review!  I am developing a habit that I like to collect different stamping plates like baseball cards or something! Lol. I really appreciate when the maker adds special little touches, like a little envelope or sleeve that holds the plate.  This one did!!  It is by Ya Qin An. Y007 It is about 2 inches by 2 inches big.  Here is an closer look... The designs were etched beautifully!  Here are a few designs I came up with to give you some examples... I highly recommend this stamping plate!
