#StampingSaturday: Gradients and Glasses
Saturday, August 15, 2015

So today I have a sneak peek at two amazing polishes from a collection I'm going to show you tomorrow. Cirque Colors was asked to participate in another Nordstom Pop-In with Warby Parker. Annie created one of my favorite collections ever based on Warby Parker's logo and their love for literary references. I'll show you the full collection tomorrow, but lets check out my #StampingSaturday look first.
To create this look I started with a base gradient of Cirque Colors City Lights (light grey holo) and Cirque Colors Fear and Loathing in New York (dark grey holo). Once again, Annie's holo polishes are on point. The formula on these is absolutely fantastic and they gradient together so well.
Since these polishes are designed around Warby Parker, I felt it only right to stamp on some adorable glasses. I used Konad Black and MoYou London Hipster 08 for the single accent. I couldn't bear to cover up that gra
And there you have it. Check back tomorrow to see all five shades from the Warby Parker collaboration.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#StampingSaturday: Vice Gradient

Hold onto your eyeballs! #StampingSaturday is about to get neon-ed today and it's eye searingly bright. I recently got my hands on the Cirque Colors Vice Collection and I've been impatiently waiting to use them.
I laid down a white base before doing a gradient of Cirque Colors Nympho and Vitamin D. Nympho is a neon fuschia creme and Vitamin D is a neon peach creme. I sponged on 3 coats for the desired opacity here. I'm loving these two colors together!
Of course I then had to top the gradient with Cirque Colors We Trippy the holographic topcoat for some added rainbows. I know want to run around and throw We Trippy on all the polishes!
This is the part where it went wrong guys! I just don't like the stamping that much and my black stamping polished smeared, making it worse. But I stamped on a design from MoYou London Hipster 08.
It got a little wonky, but it is what it is. Have you been playing with all things neon lately? I just can't get enough!

#StampingSaturday: Pyramids of Nefertiti

When I was growing up, I was obsessed with Egypt. I read every book in the library on the subject and I wanted to be an Egyptologist so bad. I wanted to find new pyramids and risk mummy's cursing me and frolic through the desert sands. Fast forward to today...I'd still gladly do all those things. It's still #1 on my travel destination and I love reading about the culture. So naturally, when there is a polish named after the beautiful Nefertiti, I had to have it.
This is Habit Cosmetics Nefertiti. This is a beautiful mocha creme filled with copper and gold shimmer. I absolutely love the shimmer in here, two easy coats gave me full coverage.
I wanted to use my Ancient Egypt stamping plate, but I couldn't find it cause I'm lame. So I used MoYou London Hipster 08 and Mundos de Unas Turquoise to stamp on some triangular shapes to represent the pyramids.

#StampingSaturday: Cirque XX & Lonesome George

I know you all are excited about Stamping Saturday, but can you just take a moment to squeal in happiness with me. As you are reading this post, I'm probably getting married, or getting ready to get married or putting my dress on or.....ok, I think you get the point. The point is IMGETTINGMARRIEDTODAY!!!! Yay!!! It's finally here. Ok, on to the look.
For this look, I started off with a base of Cirque Lonesome George. Swatches of this polish were my gateway drug to Cirque and I think you all know how out of control that obsession has gotten. This is an emerald green holographic polish, and wow, is it pretty.

I know what you are thinking...did she cut her nails? Yes, I had to nubbinize. I had a really bad low break. I patched it with the tea bag method, but the length was too much and it couldn't hold it together. The nubs allow me to use the patch and as Frosso pointed out, if a broken nail is the only thing that goes wrong for the wedding, thats a good thing. Prospective people! I've got several pre-break posts prepared for you all, so don't be shocked when my nails veer from long to short and back again.
For the next bit, on 3 of my fingers I topped LG with Cirque's XX. XX is confetti in a bottle. It's got so many different shapes, all in holographic colors that you are guaranteed to love it. On my middle and ring finger I stamped on a design from MoYou London Hipster 08 plate.
I love this design, purely because the boxes are an optical illusion. Stare at them long enough and they'll switch directions.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

I am hanging onto summer for dear life. I'm not ready for it to get cold and dreary, so I keep using my neon polishes. Even today it's low 70's here. What happened? Why is summer leaving? Was it something I said? Come back summer!!!!
For today's Stamping Saturday look I started off with a base of Morgan Taylor Watt Yel-lookin At? a highlighter yellow neon. I then used images from MoYou London Hipster 08 and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep for the stamped design. I used an un-named Sally Hansen glitter for the accent nail.
Are you ready for the changing seasons? I know I'm not. Don't forget to link up your Stamped Design below, you can also add the link up to your blog! Check everyones designs out too!

Stamping Saturdays: Golden Birds

Can you all believe the weekend is here again? I'm just sad that its half over already. I had a really rough week at work and I'm not looking forward to another one. In the meantime the future in-laws are in town, so we're having a fun weekend of running around the city and tonight we are seeing the Carol King musical, Beautiful. It's supposed to be really good, so I'm very excited.
For today's stamped look, I started with a base of Morgan Taylor's Don't Worry, Be Brilliant. It's a radioactive orange leaning coral. On my accent finger I used OPI's Honey Rider topped with Nicole by OPI Lips Are Dripping Honey for some added sparkle. I then used China Glaze Passion to stamp on the birds and herringbone pattern from MoYou Hipster 08.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this look? Be sure to link up your stamped manis below and check out all the other ladies too!
