The Fancy Side

All of the leaves/flowers were done in acrylic paint, so I don't have color names for you. Sorry.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Last week I showed you my top 5 favorite looks I've done so far for Stamping Saturday. Today I had intended to show you my top 5 done by others, but there were to many to chose from and it got a little out of control.

#TheLacquerRing is back. This time the lovely Sibohan of For the Love of Nail Art had the pleasure of September picks. You already saw the gold mani I did, for the second prompt she chose supernatural. She said to think of things like mermaids, phoenix, etc. So I went with dragons because who doesn't want dragons on their nails.

I started off with a base of OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? (love the name) which is a beautiful blue leaning purple. I then used acrylic paints to add scales and a super cool dragon eye. Also, I'm terrible at posing with my thumb next to my fingers, please ignore awkward pose.

So what do you think? I love the dragon eye, I can't believe I freehanded that! Don't forget to check out all the other supernatural mani's that Cynthia, Amanda, Lesley, Frosso, Jessica, Siobhan, and Nicole came up with as well. You can see their looks below.

I'm so stoked that Amy asked me to Guest Post for her and that The Lacquer Ring decided it be cool if we did wedding theme manis, so I stuck to that idea.
I've never done wedding nails but I wanted to do something different and cute.

I was inspired by the wedding manicures that Stylish Eve on Facebook posted a while ago and that's how this mani was born.


What I used:
Base and Top Coat (obviously),
A creamy, opalescent white. I don't know the name as it's a navy and white duowand Painted Fingertips got me,
I also used Tip Top - A touch of Lilac,
Lily Angel Black polish,
Essence - Be my Lucky Star.

What I did:
Painted all my nails except my ring finger with my white. It was a tiny bit brush strokey but you couldn't really see it.
Then I did a VERY soft saran wrap look using Tip Top - A brush of Lilac. I wanted to go for the look on the invites but it came out lighter than I expected. When that was dry, I topped it with Essence - Be my Lucky Star.
For the Groom/Middle Finger, I took two pieces of tape and made a triangle shape and then painted black below it for the tux. Using my dotting tool, I made the buttons and bow tie.
For the Bride/Ring Finger, I made the V shape freehand and then filled it in with the white. For her necklace, I dotted on the pearls and used a blue diamond rhinestone that I got from Lesley.
I topped my Bride and Groom with top coat and was done.

I would definitely wear this to your wedding Amy and I wish that I could make it because who doesn't need some South African flavour at their wedding ;) hehe.
I love you lots.

So I don't know if you've already seen polishes from I Love Nailpolish's Fall Collection but I don't care because I'm going to show you two that I picked up. I already showed you Mega (L), Iconic and Fall Semester, which are all part of this collection as well.

Up first we have Champagne Blush. This is vintage pale pink packed with holographic rainbows and a gold shift. Can we say love...because I love this polish.

You all saw on #StampingSaturday that I had to nubbinize. :-( Stupid breaks. If you have to go insanely short on your nails, at least a gorgeous full coverage glitter is exactly what you need to feel better. Ever since I saw promo shots for the new China Glaze The Giver collection, I knew Boundary of Memory would be mine. This polish takes me back to I Herd That and I'm Not Lion. SO FREAKING PRETTY!
