#31DC2016: Inspired by a Movie
Friday, September 23, 2016

Inspired by a movie had me stumped. I wasn't sure what to do but then I randomly caught part of The Bee Movie the other day and thought, that could be cute. So that's where I am. I started with a base of Cirque Colors Counterculture.
I then went in with three different stamping plates Uber Chic 1-02 (flower), MoYou London Pro Collection XL 01 (stripes), and Winstonia W113 (hexes) and used Painted Polish Midnight Mischief to stamp on the designs. I also used Floss Gloss Honey to create the honey drips, because that seemed appropriate. The flower was filled in with OPI Alpine Snow.

HPB Presents St. Paddys Day

I mentioned yesterday that I nubbenized and I wasn't kidding. Sometimes you just need to cut them off and let them grow back nice and strong. It's like cutting off all your hair. It feels freeing somehow. If you have to chop them off, the best polish to go with is a glitter bomb. So that's what I've done.
I wanted to join in on the Hobby Polish Bloggers link-up for March. The theme was obviously for St. Patrick's day. I started with Different Dimensions Luck & Leprechauns. This is a full coverage glitter filled with micro-glitter and multi chrome flakes. It runs light spring green in some lights, gold in others with flashes of magenta and emerald green. It's a stunner. I used three thin coats here.
I then went in with Mundo de Unas Green and Winstonia W105 to stamp on four leaf clovers.
And that's where I ended. Are you going to drink green beer and pinch people tomorrow or is St. Paddy's day just another day to you?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#Stamping Saturday: Hexagons

When I was trying to find inspiration for today's look I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I ended up trolling pinterest and I found this print. Inspiration hit. I could adapt it to use it for #StampingSaturday which I love. I started with a base of OPI's I Have a Herring Problem. IHAHP is a dusty blue filled with shimmer.
I then stamped on a hexagon with Winstonia W-113 and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Finally I took OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid (teal) and Can't Afjord Not To (coral) and filled in some of the hexes with a teeny-tiny paint brush.
In the end I feel its a good interpretation of my inspiration picture, but translated onto my nails it looks kinda like old school flooring tiles. I do love the color combo though. These are all great together. Be sure to check out all the other lovely ladies who created stamped looks today.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Hello you pretty people! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (feel free to replace Christmas with your holiday of preference.) I had a wonderful time. I was lucky enough to fly home and see loved ones the weekend before and then get to spend a wonderful Christmas day with my fiance. This year I jokingly asked for better blog pictures and boy did he come through. He got me a new camera, photoshop, and some pretty polishes to test out the set up on. (These pictures were done on the old system, I'm waiting for a SD card before I can start testing out the new stuff!)
This was the one semi-holiday inspired mani I did. I started off with a base of Maybelline Color Show Impeccable Greys with an accent nail of Cirque Chainmail. I wore this look on it's own for a day, because it was pretty just like this.
The next day I went back in and added details using Charme Whitehall, a beautiful sheer white tinted jelly filled with white and sheer white glitter in all shapes and sizes, plus holographic sparkles. Doesn't it look like a late night snowfall on my nails?
For my accent nail I stamped a snowflake with Konad White using the Winstonia plate W120. Please excuse my lobster hands in these last 2 photos. I made the mistake of going out with gloves and my hands took a beating.
Did you have a wonderful holiday? I'd love to hear what you did.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Memorial Day Nails

Hey Everyone, I hope you all are enjoying a nice long weekend. I've had three relaxing days which has been nice. Before we get to nails, there are 2 things I want to address. The first being the reason for this long weekend. I know everyone doesn't agree with everyone else, but I just want to say that I am thankful for those who serve our country for our freedoms. It is much appreciated and I salute them.
Second, I started a Facebook Page. WHAT?! I know right, so know you can follow me here, on Twitter, and Facebook. Man, I'm moving up in the world. Anyways, it'd be cool if you went and "liked" my page, you can find it here.
Anyways, I chose to do a Memorial Day Mani to go along with the long weekend.
I started off with a base of Essie Butler Please on my Thumb and Pinkies, and used Essie Fifth Avenue on the other three fingers. I then used Winstonia plate W107 to stamp the stars on my thumb and the stripes on the middle fingers. The stars on my pinkie are from Bundle Monster Plate BM20.
Also, bonus picture. It's the hardly ever seen, RIGHT HAND! WHAT?!?!
Did you celebrate Memorial Day with a Patriotic Mani? I'd love to see it!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
