Nuts 4 Nails

This is my design in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Fight like a girl!!

This is my next Hello Kitty design...      I try to get inspiration from almost anything, but this time I was looking at computer wallpapers and I came across this one and remembered I had a stamping plate with this image on it!! Here's my inspiration:        Here's the plate from My Online Shop I used a dark grey stamping polish from Ya Qin An and stamped the image right onto a plastic baggie. I colored them in with a fine brush and pastel polishes.        I  always make extras.... Just in case  Then I just painted over the whole design when it was all dry with Pink A Card by Sally Hansen.

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 .

Hi everyone! Today I thought I would do a cute, Spring theme with bright colors. I love this stamping plate! It's  BP-52  from Born Pretty Store .

Hi everyone!! Spring is finally here!!  My husband just loves birds! We have like 20 different bird feeders in our yard. I have to admit, we do get some really cool ones out there! We've seen cardinals, red and gold finches, chickadees, sparrows of all kinds and even a woodpecker! Right now we are waiting for the hummingbirds to arrive. So he's been bugging me to do bird nails for weeks! Lol. I used a variety of stamping plates that had bird images on it or branches, All were from MoYou London Mother Nature collection. 

Hi there again!!  Here is my next Valentine's Day look for 2016.   This is just a cute, simple stamping design. I started with a pink and white base. The pink is Sally Hansen, Pink a Card and the white is LA Colors, Snow White . Both the pink and purple stamping polishes are from MoYou Nails .  The stamping plate I used is this cool heart-shaped plate. I got it from STZ. 

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.

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...

Hey all my stamping sisters!! Today I wanted to do a review of Ya Qin An stamping polish. I only purchased one, the pink, to see how it worked before I bought more. Well I am a big fan I must say! In the first picture I wanted to show you how well it stamps over black and light colors. As you can see the answer is beautifully!! :) I love when companies put effort into the details! The bottle is a cool square shape and it comes in a white box. This is a nice size bottle too! It's 18ml!  As you can see it picks up wonderfully on the stamper! I was pleasantly surprised and I honestly can not wait to get some more!! If you want some too, I got this from bornprettystore.com .

I was originally going to color in this flower with neon pink and yellow but I decided to put a matte finish on instead.  I really love this matte topcoat by NYC called Matte Me Crazy. It's cool because you can turn any color you already have into one with a matte finish. The stamping plate I used here is from Born Pretty Store , BP-54 . The stamping polish is MoYou Nails, White.  Link to stamping plate:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/cute-owls-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp54-p-18797.html  .

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

This is my nail art design for St. Patrick's Day.  It's just a green over green, simple stamping done with MoYou London , Princess Collection # 14 . The light green is from the love & beauty neon collection from Forever 21. This shimmery green stamping polish is from Born Pretty Store . I was very happy with the coverage of this polish! I need to get some more! :) 

This is my first Valentine's Day nails of 2015!  I first painted the nails white. I used Wet and Wild Megalast, Whipped Topping.  Then when that was completely dry, I used scotch tape to tape off half the nail and painted half Neon Pink. It's by Love and Beauty from Forever 21. (It came in a set and they don't have names.)  The stamping plate I used is from MoYou Nails # 112 . It is a really cute Valentine's Day themed plate! I stamped the design with the same pink polish I used earlier and though it wasn't special stamping polish, it seemed to work pretty great! I then finshed the look off by adding some silver striping tape. Would you wear this look?

I love the look of classic black and white for New Year's Eve. Of course, sparkle is the next thing that comes to mind. For this design the materials I used are Wet and Wild Megalast-Whipped Topping and LA Colors Nail Lacquer-Black Lace Creme as the black and white base. I did my thumbs black also. You just can't see it in the pic. I wanted to give it some sparkle so I put a coat of silver glitter polish from LA Colors. Then I used stamping plate BP-03  from bornprettystore.com . As you all know, I use MoYou Nails  stamping polish. It's my favorite.  I used thier black over the white base and white over the black base. Hope you like it!! 

For this design, I started with a black base from LA Colors nail lacquer. The stamping plate used is from bornprettystore.com  BP-09. I then put a drop of yellow, blue and pink stamping polish from MoYou Nails  in different spots on the design. When I scraped it, it blended very nicely and made a bit of purple in there too!
