#31DC2015: Galaxy and #StampingSaturday

Another day another #31DC2015 look. Today is also #StampingSaturday so once again, I've combined the two. Today's challenge prompt is Galaxies. I love a good galaxy look. They are so fun, yet so easy to do.
For today's look I started with a base of Polished by KPT Wreath for the Stars. This beauty looks like a galaxy in a bottle, so it makes the perfect base for a this prompt. This polish is a black base filled with green to purple color shift and silver holographic glitters. I used three thin coats for full coverage.
There you have it! Galaxies on my fingers. Tomorrow is my ultimate nail art nemesis, the dreaded water marble! We'll see how it goes.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

I then went in with a TON of polishes to great the galaxies. I started with a neon purple polish that I picked up from Cirque Colors sample sale. I then layered on Maybelline Color Show Ultra Violet, Polished by KPT Underneath the Milky Way, Color Club In De-Nile and Over the Moon. Once my galaxy bases were done, I stamped on stars from Uber Chic 2-03 and the supernova image from Bundle Monster BM-610. The white polish is Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

Happy Monday everyone! How is everyone doing? I hope you all had wonderful weekends. Mine was really good. I had dinner with friends, saw a Broadway show, and went to a blogger meet up. It was a super fun weekend!!
The blogger meetup had a mani theme of snow & ice. If you follow me on Instagram you saw a sneak peek of these in the group shot. It took me way too long to do these stupid nails and after I was done it occurred to me that there was an easier way to get the base, but whats done was done.
I started off with a base of Color Club In De-Nile. This was a gift from the lovely Frosso. It's the perfect pale baby blue creme. I'm wearing two easy coats for full coverage.
I then went in with Charme Whitehall for a snowy effect. (It occurred to me later that I could have used KBShimmer Snow Way for a similar look minus a step.) Ah well. One coat of Whitehall with some minor placing gave me this look!
I then used acrylic paints and a cut down striping brush to paint on some icicles following this tutorial. The girls at the meetup told me depending on how you view them they could be icicles or snowy pine trees. Either works for me. :-)
I feel like I'm getting better at free handing designs, but I really need to keep practicing. It's hard to paint things that little. :-/
What do you think...icicles or snowy pine trees?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
