Love this so much, I don't want to take it off.. but I have a ton to swatch.. bummr dude. :(

31 day Challenge - Day 4 - Pink!

I had so much fun with this one!

Pink always makes me feel a little girly.  The first time I ever got tipsy, it was on pink champagne.  So here's to you, Uncle Larry and your amazing bar!!


This is ChG "Strawberry fields" with Color Club "Cloud 9" sponged onto the tips, and stamped with MM02 for the bubbles in ChG Admire for the stamping.

31 Day Challenge - Day 3 - Gold!

I love gold.  Most of my manis have gold in them somewhere, but I must confess, this one looked much better in my head than it did on the nail!  I think the texture of the flakie doesn't work too well with the stamping.  It DID look better in real life than the photo.. small consolation, I guess.

This is ChG "Champagne Bubbles" with ChG "Midnight kisses sponged on the tips, all layered over with ChG "Lush and Luxe".  Stamped with M62.

31 Day Challenge - Day 2 - Silver!

Eep eep! Silver does suit me either, but I really liked how this one turned out. I was a bit naughty and added some red rhinestones.

It's ChG "Cheers to you" with tips sponged with ChG "Tinsel Town" and stamped with ChG "Awaken". Lots of SV and then the rhinestones.

I think they look a bit like Vampire Nails.

31 Day Challenge - Black and White

So I've decided to join in on the new 31 Day challenge! So excited! I do my nails pretty much every day anyway, so this challenge shouldn't be too stressy for me.

The first one though? Argh! White looks like death on me. Or it makes me look like death, or something. So a black and white mani kinda' gave me the heebies.

After some thought I decided to cheat a little and add some sparkle to break up the white. And here it is, black, white and some sparkle care of China Glaze "Make a Spectacle".

Happy New Year!

Loved doing this mani! ChG "Liquid Leather" stamped with Color Club Halo Hues "Harp on it". And Messy Mansion image plate MM02



Had the best New Year ever.. dancing around the loungeroom with my 2 little boys as the fireworks went off on TV.

Christmas Tree mani!


I had 2 goes at this mani to get it right.. the first time around it was OPI basecoat, 2 coats Sinful Colors Envy, followed by a thick coat of Sinful Colors Kissy, then stamped with ChG Passion and dotted with ChG Ruby Pumps.  This chipped like crazy.  The second time around I swapped out the OPI basecoat with ChG "First and Last" and we are now 3 days and going strong... maybe the OPI doesn't like the Sinful Colors!?
