The Fancy Side

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

Then I stamped on some Dr. Who related things from MyOnlineShop JR-31 using Sally Hansen Silver Sweep. I only have this plate because 2/3 of it is Harry Potter related. But I do know that these 5 designs are Dr. Who related.



There you have it! I even have a Tardis for the Tardis prompt. HAH! Be sure to check out all the other lovely ladies and their designs below.

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.





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. Stay tuned!!

A Unicorn Farted in My Polish is stunning. I'll leave Dolly's description here for you so you can really understand how great it is:  "Little known fact: Unicorns fart rainbows. It's true! And as he was flying over the Dollish Polish shop, he "deposited" a little gift inside each an every bottle! This glitterbomb consists of every color in the rainbow! Glitters ranging from small to large, in stars, moons, squares, dots, hexagons, rectangles and more! This really is one magical polish!"

I then taped off and latexed off my fingers (I still made a huge mess, big surprise!) and used the Alcohol Water Marbling technique with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure All Fired Up to create the patterns.




And there you have it. I think this is my favorite design from the challenge so far. Tomorrow is flower nails. Can't wait!

Hey all TLR is back for October. Normally for our second prompt every month, we pick a theme. This month we are being inspired by our sweet friend Frosso from Lacquer Me Silly, so that is our theme. She recently announced her retirement from blogging, as life has gotten to busy and other things are taking priority. As a founding member of #TLR and #StampingSaturday she will be missed. However I think she might pop in from time to time on Instagram, because I just don't think she can go cold turkey. I've chosen to be inspired by one of Fross' Halloween manis. She's always had great Halloween mani's and one of my favorites is FrakenGlam.

For my base I started with China Glaze Running in Circles. I love this green. It's filled with tiny glitter that makes for a super shiny green.





Lets look at the side by side comparison of the original and my version, what do you think? Did I do Fross' original look justice?

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.

It's Stamping Saturday again, and I think y'all know what that means. Also I hope you don't mind that I'm on a bit of a thermal kick lately. I wore Being in the Pink because I was impatiently waiting on a shipment of new thermal polishes, but I was most excited about the one I'm going to show you now. This is Vanda. Vanda has the most extreme color shift I've ever seen. It goes from a bright baby blue to a vibrant violet. My gawd, is it pretty.


Vanda is named after an orchid, so to pay homage to the original name, I chose to do a subtle stamping with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and a delicate flower pattern from BM-221.
