The Fancy Side

It's been a long time since I've done any free hand nail art, so this was a decent attempt. I need to get better at doing that some more. Anyways, check out all the other lovely ladies and their tribal nail art below.

It's Saturday again and you know what that means. Stamping day. Today I have a bit of a fail that I want to show you. It's the combination of bad stamping polish, new plates, and no clear direction. Really the whole reason I want to show you this, is to prove that I'm always learning and that not all of my Stamped Mani's come out perfect. Alot of trial and error goes into it and sometimes you get an awesome success and sometimes you get an epic failure. Today I'm going to show you the latter.

For today's fail I started with a base of OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam. This is a pale grey-blue with golden shimmer. It goes on quite sheer and even with 3 coats you can see visible nail line.



Then because Frosso gave me stamping jealousy with her Pueen Buffet stamps, which I had to order, I decided to use those. I stamped on a star design from PUEEN 60 in OPI Love. Angel. Music. Baby.



The polish dried too quickly so the stamps didn't transfer well giving me this "meh" look. I was going in the right direction, it just took a wrong turn somewhere. So that is my fail of the week. Enjoy!

Also, don't forget about my current giveaway for a set of the Julie G Cruise Time Collection polishes.

After swatching all the Gwen OPI's I was obsessed with pairing one of the glossy cremes with one of the pretty satin finishes. This is what I came up with.

Growing up No Doubt was one of my favorite bands! I had all the CD's because I was super fly like that. So when OPI announced they were collaborating with Gwen Stefani, I almost peed my pants with excitement. I said ALMOST people. As soon as they were available I ordered them all, because I need them all. So lets take a look. Beware this is a picture heavy post.




I was really excited about Push & Shove which comes with a mini Lay Down the Base, basecoat. This polish is ridiculously shiny! You aren't going to be checking your makeup on tiny fingernail mirrors, but it is the closest polish to straight up chrome I've ever seen. It does go on brushstreaky but as it dries it seems to disappear.




Now we have I Sing in Color. This color reminds me of black cherry cola. Its that deep vampy red that borders on black in certain lighting. This formula was flawless and covered in 2 easy coats.
