Pink and Teal Striping

Simple short post today. I keep falling behind on my writing and editing! This mani was done while I was at a conference, so it had to be fast a dirty…and use travel-sized polishes!

Basically, striping tape + tiny polishes = awesome nail art whenever and wherever! The pink is Pinkini by Clinique (sample size) and the teal is Love Those Wildwood Days by Philly Loves Lacquer (awesome small but full size). I had forgotten how much I loved the Philly Loves Lacquer polishes I was sent for review this summer…it only took ONE COAT to fully cover the pink! New favorite striping tape polishes.

That’s all! Hope you enjoyed.

If I get my nail art act together, there are more exiting things that I’ve done…but they have more than 3-4 photos, so take longer to edit. We shall see!

So, this was the post that I thought I had written for Friday. Oops! Anyway, enjoy some leadlighting (aka filling in stamps with different colored jelly polishes).

The stamp here is from the Born Pretty Store, plate 17. It has lot os cool swirly flower bits! You’ll be seeing another stamp from this plate in a few days (I couldn’t resist). It stamps very nicely!

I do need to get my hands on some better jelly polishes…ones that DONT HAVE GLITTER. Ugh. If i had more empty tiny bottles I might make my own. Any (cheap) suggestions?

The base color here is Bare Escape by Maybelline, a light grey. All the leadlight polishes are from the scented mini collection by Sephora by OPI many years ago.

The stamp itself transferred nicely, and I tried to get a slightly different part of the image on each nail. I love this buffet-style plate! I don’t have to worry about perfectly matching up each stamp because deviation totally works. Lots of stamping space!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this (delayed) fall mani! And if you want to get this pretty darn awesome stamping plate for yourself, head over to the Born Pretty Store where it is on sale right now for $1.99. Don’t forget to use my 10% off code — LY5X31!
