The Fancy Side

I added in snowflakes using the Uber Chic Christmas-01 plate and a combo of Mundo de Unas stamping polishes. The dark blue is Iris, the minty blue is Turquoise, and the lightest blue is Aqua. I painted on thin stripes then scraped at an angle to mix the colors.




Be sure to check out the other snowflake mani's from the talented ladies below. I'm really enjoying the way mine came out, what do you think?


Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

 I then used a bunch of polishes to create a galaxy look. Light blue is Zoya Rocky, dark blue is OPI Eurso Euro, also used were Orly After Party, and Morgan Taylor If the Slipper Fits. I then stamped on stars with Uber Chic 2-03 and Sinful Colors Snow Me White, topping it all off with China Glaze Fairy Dust.



Once my galaxy was done, I decided to pay tribute to the most integral part of the book. "Don't Panic" is the first thing every time you check the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. “I like the cover," he said. "Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody's said to me all day.” - Arthur Dent.  The words were done with OPI This Gown Needs a Crown and Konad Black.





If you stuck it out this long, perhaps you'd like to take a peek at other ladies who did a Hitchhiker's Guide looks as well.

There it is. Do you all have special plans for Valentine's Day? Or will you be participating in Galentine's Day?

For #StampingSaturday this week I decided to add to a mani I had already done. I took Seche Irresistible* and embellished it.

I took off my ring finger polish and replaced it with Kays Masquerade. I got Masquerade in my Ninja Polish Grab bag, which I'm so happy I purchased! Masquerade is a gold and pink glitter bomb that is super pretty and covers completely in just two coats. I then used Orly Luxe and MoYou Explorer Plate 03 to add some henna type looks.

I feel like I've been slacking lately on getting #StampingSaturday posts up, so this week I made sure I had one ready to show y'all. As you can tell from my last post, I love teal. After pulling all those polishes out, I decided to throw on AEngland St. George for a few days.





Don't forget to add your Stamped mani to the link up below. It's always fun to look at who is participating each week!

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Or am I wearing Purgatory? I Love Nailpolish Purgatory to be exact. ;-) Purgatory is part of the ILNP Rich Effect collection and it has a deep teal base filled with duochrome navy/teal sparkles. I recently saw this youtube tutorial by Mr.Candiipants where she teaches how to do the design on my accent nail. I decided that I wanted to practice my line work and give it a try. Pretty much it turned out horrible, but yeah, still thought I would show you. I used all ILNP polishes to fill in the colors they are: purple - Grape Aliciousness, pink - Molly, blue - Exodus. The stripes were done with my Orly Instant Artist striper in White.




What do you think of this color? I thought I would love it more than I actually did. It's probably because it stained the crap out of my skin.

Hi all! I meant to post this yesterday, but I've been opening all week so I was completely wiped out when I got home. So instead I have it for you today.




Cypress was my gateway drug to the Cirque brand. It's this gorgeous nude holographic polish that is stunning in sunlight and indirect lighting. Here you can see two easy coats that applied like butter. Seriously, those rainbows!

After wearing it on its own for a few days, I decided I wanted to try some nail art over it. I became obsessed with pairing it with a cobalt blue, so I got out my Orly Nail Artist striper and played around. The beauty of these are they are water based so if you mess up, you can swipe it off with a wet paper towel and then start over.



It's not the best job I've ever done, but seeing as I was just playing around it was good enough.

What do you think?

Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

I don't think it's a secret that I like to browse Pinterest to gain inspiration for mani's. Sometimes I'm just not feeling super original, so I head over there to the abundance of nail art and designs. Today's manicure was inspired by this pin, however when I reverse search the image, it takes me to a prom dress shop, which is weird. If you know the originator, please let me know so I can credit them properly.

Anywho, I really wanted to use China Glaze I Herd That for my glitter. I LOOOVE that glitter. If you take one thing away from this blog, ever, it should be get I Herd That and I'm Not Lion from the On Safari Collection!! Do it!!

Yesterday, this was a top post on r/RedditLaqueristas. If you don't know about Reddit, I'm not sure if I should be sorry that I introduced you or proud of myself. Let me know later how I should feel. Anywho, my friend Brandon saw that post and requested that I do similar nails. So here is my ode to u/WarofArt and her pretty fingers.
