The Fancy Side

How is everyone's weekend been so far? I flew home to Kansas Thursday evening, to spend time with family and friends. This morning some of them threw me a Bridal Shower and I got to see so many people that I love and have missed terribly since I moved to NYC. It was awesome. Since my Bridal Shower was this weekend, I really wanted to do a bride type look for the weekend.

I started off with a base of Lime Crime's Parfait Day. This pink is best described as a pastel neon. Love this pink. It looks great with just 2 coats.





 What do you think? These were just the perfect touch of bridal for a fun and festive weekend. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! Don't forget to link up your stamped mani below.

ITS THE WEEKEND! This week was long, but thankfully quiet at work. I'm so happy its the weekend. Today, Frosso and Amanda are coming to the city, and we are going to have a delicious amazing brunch, then do some polish shopping, and general shopping, damage. It's going to be a fun day.

Today's look for you starts with a base of LVX Orchid. This is from LVX's Spring collection and is their representation of the Pantone color of the year. Here you'll see 2 coats. Also, I should warn you. There are nubbins ahead. Due to that bad break on my thumb I filed all my nails down, so it didn't look so awkward.





Next I stamped over it with Konad White and MoYou Londons Bridal Collection Plate 06. It has all these awesome lace designs, I actually bought it to play with for my wedding in a few months. I need mani ideas for that people!




What do you think? I love the base color. It turned the white stamping polish a light lavender that ended up being very flattering to the base shade.

Remember when I introduced you to The Lacquer Ring a few weeks ago? Today the ladies and I are back with the very first prompt. The prompts for May were chosen by Nicole of Polish Me, Please! and for today, she choose the color Orange. We can do whatever we want, it just has to be orange.

To start I laid down a base of Salon Perfect Exploded! It's a matte polish glitter bomb that includes orange and some yellow matte glitters. It was so bright it flipped my camera out, but I managed to get a few spot on pictures of the color.




Next because I'm a cheeky bastard and I like to be literal, I stamped on the Orange Slice pattern from BM-308 in Konad White.

Hello All!! Welcome to Stamping Saturday #10. I cannot believe we have officially been doing this for 10 weeks now. I look forward to Saturday every week because I love seeing everyone's stamped links. It is so fun.

For my base color, I started off with OPI's Amaz-on Amaz-off. If y'all know me at all you know I LOVE teal colors and I just can't resist them. Let's take a look at it here.




I then stamped over it using several designs taken from the MoYou London Plate, Artist Collection 07.




I think my favorite design is on my pointer finger. It is so pretty. What do you think of this look? Be sure to check out the other ladies who are participating below.

So I have this core group of polish ladies that I email with regularly. I don't want to brag or anything, but we're hilarious. Cynthia from Of Life and Lacquer had a brillant idea recently, which is Stamping Saturdays. Today you are going to see the first installment.

As a base for my stamping I chose to polish my nails with A England's Lady of the Lake. Lady of the Lake is a dusky medium toned purple that seems to glow from the inside out. The holographic particles in this polish shoot out rainbows at the right angles. Basically it's gorgeous.




For the stamping I chose two triangle designs from BM423 and BM417 in Konad White. I hated to stamp over this polish because SOOO PRETTY, so I compromised and did two accent fingers with the triangle stamps.
