#StampingSaturday: Metro Pollen-tin

Most of the time when I go to do my nails, I know exactly what I want to do. Sometimes it doesn't always turn out the way it looks in my head, but I have a clear direction. When I set out to do my nails for this #StampingSaturday I had no idea what I wanted to do. I decided I was going to pull a polish out of my stash at random and see if it inspired me. For this little experiment, I managed to grab China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin. Metro Pollen-tin is a marigold yellow that dries to a satin finish. The formula is rather finicky, and it took me four coats to get even coverage that wasn't patchy.

I let the color and the name inspire the look I chose to do. On my thumb and pinky I added one coat of Maybelline Color Show Clearly Spotted, a black and white multi-sized hex glitter topper. On my pointer and ring finger I stamped the honeycomb pattern from Winstonia's plate W-113. On my middle finger I stamped on a bee from Bundle Monster's BM-301 plate. For a little extra oomph, I filled in a few honeycombs with Floss Gloss' Stun!
I went from having no idea what I wanted to do, to loving this bee mani. What do you think? I love the way everything came together.
Don't forget to link up your stamped mani below and check out everyone else too!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Purple Graffiti Look using Maybelline Color Show Clearly Spotted

Well, I've been putting off on posting these, just because my nails are so super tiny! I honestly can't remember my nails ever being so short. Packing up took a toll on my hands causing some breaks, so I had to cut them short. Like super short. I call them Shorty McShort Shorts.
Look how freaking tiny they are!!! The tips of my fingers are all "where are our hats?" I'll stop complaining about how short they are now.
I created this look using China Glaze's That's Shore Bright, a neon purple from their summer line. I topped it with Maybelline Color Show's Clearly Spotted. This topper is awesome. Great coverage and it gives a fun graffiti look to any manicure.
I'd thought about buying some of the other colors from the Polka Dots line, but they are all basically jelly sandwiches in a bottle, and I have jelly polishes in those colors already, so I can recreate them on my own.
What do you think of my Shorty McShort Shorts nails?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
