Digit-al Dozen: Story Genres - Mystery
Wednesday, August 16, 2017
8/16/2017 10:07:00 PM
The Digit-al Dozen is doing Story Genres this month. For my third look I decided to tackle mystery, specifically Sherlock Holmes.
I started off with a base of NCLA Saltwater Baths, a medium blue holo. This was two easy coats.
I then went in with a wavy design from Uber Chic UC 4-03 and double layered in colors with MoYou London White Knight and Painted Polish Stamped in Mint. I then sponged on a few dabs of Polish M Baby It's Cold Outside to "weather" the stamping. Finally I stamped on some mystery and Sherlock inspired designs from My Online Shop JR-31 in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.
Be sure to check out all the other designs that are below. There are some really amazing ones!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

The Digit-al Dozen - Story Genres - Magical Realism
Monday, August 14, 2017

Hey ya'll. Long time no blog. I have a good reason. I promise. You see, I've spent the last year growing and now trying to exist with my sweet baby girl. It wasn't an easy pregnancy and I pretty much only had the bandwidth for work/sleep/eat which was all accompanied by hypermesis gravadium. If you don't know what that is, look up Princess Kate's pregnancy. It is the same horrible thing.
Anywho, my sweet baby girl is now almost three months old and life is resuming a new version of normal. I've missed blogging and doing my nails, so I'm going to make an effort to get back into things. Currently my goal is to just participate in the Digit-al Dozen prompts and then grow from there if I have the time.
The Digit-al Dozen is doing Story Genres this month. I decided to start out with Magical Realism and tackle yet another Harry Potter mani. For my base I used Polish M Joyous and stamped on designs from My Online Shop plates JR-91 and JR-2 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.
Below is a swatch of Joyous. This is a silver holographic base filled with rainbow flakes. It was opaque in two coats and super easy to apply.
There it is. All finished. Here's hoping I make it through the week! Fingers crossed.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Polish M Back to Reality Collection

I know everyone is ready for summer to go and fall to come. People are stoked about Pumpkin everything (I'm not a fan, I just don't get it), turning leaves, and scarves/sweaters. Ya'll are there and I'm just over here like "MORE SUMMER PLEASE!!!" Hence why I'm obsessing over this stunning collection from Polish M. This collection is Back to Reality and is all about how you feel coming back from a collection.
Prepare for a ton of pictures and I'll tell you about the formula at the end!!
Polish M Back to Reality, a bubblegum pink leaning magenta with blue and silver micro flakes.
Polish M Hello, Monday a unique and fun chartreuse with bronze, gold and teal micro flakes.
Polish M Inbox is Full a true concord grape with silver, lavender and purple micro flakes.
Polish M The Last Mile Home a bright summery orange with silver, orange, gold and a hint of aqua micro flakes.
Polish M Hit Snooze, Repeat a rich teal green with silver, blue and green micro flakes.
Polish M PVB {Post Vacation Blues} a beautiful cobalt blue with bronze, blue and purple micro flakes.
Ya'll these are stunning. The formula is great. I only need 3 coats for the green, everything else was an easy two. I adore the flakes in all of them. BEST PART: Michelle is running an end of summer deal on this collection. You can use code BTR25 for 25% off of the entire collecition or individuals.
Which ones are your faves? I'm in love with PVB and Hit Snooze, Repeat (you know I love blues and teals)!
Until next time, Amy Lee

#Manijacked: Marshmallows and Wizardry
Monday, February 8, 2016

Sometimes I just hit a point where I'm so unispired and have no idea what to put on my nails. I can't be the only one who hits that wall sometimes, right? When I get to that point, I love to pull up some of my favorite nail artists and see if they can inspire me. Usually I just end up manijacking them and recreating my favorite look. This is one of those times. Inspired by this look from Autumn (IG @justagirlandhernails) I pulled out polishes and got to work.
The base is Polish M Burnt Marshmallow (formerly Laquerlicious) and the textured polish is OPI What Wizardry Is This? Obviously my nails aren't as beautiful as Autumn's, but one can dream right.
What do you do to get past the inspiration block when it hits?

#StampingSaturday: Subtle Patterns
Saturday, December 19, 2015

I know...I know...it's a miracle that I'm participating this weekend. I blame the holidays. Life has been so crazy busy that I feel like I haven't had time to breathe lately. Let alone find the time to actually write posts. I'm usually up way too late to write the ones I've done so today I'm stealing a few moments to get stuff done!!
Today I started with a base of Polish M Autumn's Palette which is seriously the most amazing polish ever. It's a mix of copper, gold, and fuschia flakies as well as gold glitter and some copper holo glitter. If you don't have this one...I think you should track it down and get ASAP!
I then in with Mundo de Unas Chocolate and Uber Chic 2-02 to add in some patterns. The base polish kind of overwhelmed my stamping polish so this look is alot more subtle that I had originally intended.
Be sure to check out all the other stamped looks below. Don't forget...you can join us at ANY TIME!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#31DC2015: Inspired by Fashion
Friday, September 25, 2015

Today we're rocking inspired by fashion with the #31DC2015. I chose a Christian Dior couture dress from 1949, which you can see below. In my head this was going to be awesome. However it didn't translate quite the way I wanted it to but, it's still fun.

| “Junon”, fall/winter 1949-50 |
I started with a base of ILNP Clockwork and then went in with ILNP Mountain View to make the scallops. I then dotted on more Mountain View, Polish M Breezy Fall Days, and OPI DS Radiance. I think I should have made my scallops bigger, but it is what it is.
I'm starting to see the end in sight. Tomorrow is inspired by a pattern. Only 6 more days left.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#31DC2015: Inspired by a Color
Monday, September 21, 2015

Today we're beginning the "inspired by" looks in the #31DC2015 challenge. We're supposed to be inspired by a color today, but I was having trouble choosing. So I asked my husband for help. Watching him gingerly dig through my polish drawers was hilarious. Eventually he landed on a glitter topper, Polish M At the Lake (formerly Lacquerlicious). So I took the polish he chose and rand with it. Since it's a beautiful blue glitter topper I chose a shimmery bright blue polish for the base. Urban Decay Chaos is a stunner. I can't believe it took me this long to use it.
I then went in with Polish M At the Lake as a topper on all nails. Once that was done I stamped on a shape (it went a bit cock-eyed but EHH!) on my middle finger from the MoYou London Holy Shapes 04 and Mundo de Unas Fiji. I really like the end result.
That's where I ended up. Tomorrow is Inspired by a song. I've got a plan, we'll see where I end up.
Enjoy & Until next time, Amy Lee
