The Fancy Side

Last year I really struggled with this prompt, but today I knew exactly what I wanted to happen. I grew up on boats and racing with my Dad, so when I was thinking about flags, nautical signaling flags popped into my head. These are the old school way of transferring messages between boats during the day. Each flag stands for a letter of the alphabet. I fit as many as I could onto my fingers.

To start, I went with a base of the ever gorgeous Native War Paints Cable Knit Sweater. Can we have a serious discussion about the shimmer in this polish? Talk about stunning.

Getting in today's prompt under the wire. I wasn't feeling super awesome today so it took me forever. I started with a base of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Strumpet. I needed three full coats for full coverage. With two I had a few bald spots, so be sure to go for two. Also, can we talk about how I hate the brush on OCC polishes. They are so long that my whole grip is off. Talk about weird.

I then went in with It Girl Nail Art IG-111 and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep to stamp on this delicate flowery print. I love the combo of the silver with that deep fuchsia.




Tomorrow is geometric and I really like what I came up with. See you then.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Don't forget the great news!! Nicole is running a special from now until Aug. 7. This release happens to coincide with her 1 year anniversary (CONGRATS!), hence the deal. As mentioned the deal ends August 7, but from now until then you can choose any 3 plates for $33. I've got more looks to come using these plates and polishes.

Also be sure to check out all the other stamped looks this Saturday!

Here's the bicycle part. Are you ready? I used the adorable bike pattern from It Girl Nail Art IG-111 and stamped it on with Mundo de Unas Aqua. What is is about this color combo? It's always so good together.

Hey ladies (and gents!), long time no blog. Sorry I just went hard-core MIA for a hot minute. I had some health issues that kind of knocked me on my ass for a while, but the good news is...I'm back in action and feeling good. I've missed the blog and doing my nails. More than that, I've missed interacting with all of you!

So lets get down to it! Today is #STAMPINGSATURDAY and I'm hitting it hard with a great combo. I started with a base of Floss Gloss Honey, which is one of my favorite glitters. Honey is a holographic bronze full coverage glitters.



I then went in with two different images from It Girl Nail Art IG-107* with Mundo de Unas Aqua. I'm loving these art deco designs. They are super crisp!



See how beautiful they are! I wasn't joking about how crisp the images are. I adore the combo of the bronze glitter with the aqua stamping.

Be sure to check out all the other stamping ladies below!

 I'm back with my second plate review from It Girl Nail Art for this new set of beautiful plates. I've made it no secret that I love everything that Nicole puts out and IG-109 does not disappoint. This plate contains some negative space inspired images. Even though many of the images contain thin lines, they still pick up clean and crisp. All images were pulled with my Creative Shop Stamper and Konad Black polish. Check out all the cool looks below. 














Now one of the images I did have issues with as you can see. I spoke with Nicole the maker and she gave me a bevy of tips to get the image. I'll be trying again soon, so wish my luck. I've seen plenty of other ladies do incredible manis with that stamp, so I know it is possible.

Now for the best part...plates IG-107, IG-108, and IG-109 have officially launched in Nicole's store. From today, March 4th to March 9th, you can buy all three in a bundle for $35 which is a super sale!! Also, there is no more pre-ordering and waiting for your plates...they are ready to rock now. So run quick and get these plates. You'll love them I promise.
