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.
Don't forget, link up your stamped mani's below. My favorite part of Stamping Saturday is seeing what everyone else came up with!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Stamping Saturday: Silver Flowers

I cannot believe this is our twelfth Stamping Saturday. We've been at this for 3 months so far, and I look forward to every Saturday because of this.
This week I went for a simple all over look, mainly because I was pressed for time. It's simple but I really enjoy the overall effect. I started off with a base of Butter London's Artful Dodger, a dusty teal creme that is opaque in 3 coats.
I then stamped over Artful Dodger with Sally Hansen InstaDri in Silver Sweep, my go to silver stamping polish, with the NC-001 Plate.
It's just a field of silver flowers over teal but I really like the end result. Simple, yet pretty. It almost reminds me of some old school wallpaper that has been updated to fun colors for modern times.
What do you think? Don't forget to check out the other stamped manis, linked below.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

So after all my fun Halloween nails, I wanted a little bit of a palette cleanser. I knew I wanted to use a certain glitter polish, so I picked my colors based off the glitter.
My base is China Glaze Tart-y for the Party on my Thumb, Middle and Pinky fingers. On my Pointer and Ring fingers I have China Glaze For Audrey. I then did two coats of Pure Ice Over You on my Middle and Pinky Fingers. Over You consists of a light purple microglitter filled with teal hexes and teal bar glitter. I stamped the roses on with Sally Hansen InstaDri in Silver Sweep using the plates BM323 (big roses) and BM14 (single rose).
I really enjoyed this look, even though it isn't really seasonal. Let's face it, I'll wear what I want, when I want regardless of the season. ;-)
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
