Final Holiday Look of 2014

Just a quickie post to show you the look I wore on Christmas. It was a simple 3 part mani. I started off with a base of Cupcake Polish Just Sleighing Around. A gorgeous reddish pink soft holo polish, this is 2 coats.
I then used curved nail vinyls to block out a "negative" space and filled in one side with Cupcake Polish Ornamentary My Dear (champagne gold) and Cupcake Polish Deck the Malls (green).
It's a simple but festive look. This is the end of holiday looks for me. I'm not going to lie...I'm going to miss them. But we have all the holidays ahead of us, so I'll just have to look forward to those. Are you all thinking of your New Years Resolutions yet? I know mine and it's kinda crazy. I'll fill y'all in later.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#StampingSaturday: Glam Snowflakes

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday! My Christmas was great. The hubs and I spent the day together and we saw the Hobbit which I'd been wanting to see. However my days are all mixed up and I completely forgot it was Saturday until I saw Cynthia's post. Good thing I had my look done, but still...I need to get my act together.
Today's look is done with Glam Polish's Don't Stop Believing as my base. In case you missed it, I'm giving away a bottle so be sure to check out the previous post. *wink* I stamped on various snowflakes from W-120 with Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I then added on some half pearl accents for an extra little touch.

What was the best gift you got this year? I got a pair of Tieks that I'd been drooling over.

Christmas Gone Plaid

Green polishes are usually hit or miss with me. But let me tell you, OPI Christmas Gone Plaid is a total hit! This dark forest green is super pretty. I wore it on its own for a day or two, but of course I had to spice it up a bit.
I topped Christmas Gone Plaid with Salon Perfect Champagne Toast. This is essentially CG Fairy Dust but gold glitters instead of silver. I then used Smitten Polish Between the Baubles (green holo) and China Glaze GR8 (gold holo) to add some plaid striping.
I really like the end result of this look. It's simple, easy to do, yet very festive.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#StampingSaturday: Cosmos & Kaleidoscopes

I'm going to make this post for #StampingSaturday nice and quick. I started off with a base of Polished by KPT's Mars Escapade (purple) and Light Years (silver). Mars Escapade is a gorgeous thermal that ranges from purple when cold to reddish orange when warm.
I then used Konad Black and MoYou London Kaleidoscope 06 to stamp on some fun patterns over Light Years.
Don't forget to check out the other stamped looks as well!!

Holly Back Girl
Friday, December 19, 2014

There is something about Christmas polishes. They are so fun and festive, I just have to use them all. Today I have KBShimmer Holly Back Girl (love that name)! This is a white crelly base filled with red and green glitters. Application is easy and it took just two coats for full coverage.
I decided that Holly Back Girl needed some holly to accent it. I used all acrylic paints to free hand the holly on my thumb and middle finger.
What do you think, shiny or matte?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#TheLacquerRing: Stars
Thursday, December 18, 2014

#TheLacquerRing is back for the second prompt of the month. This month Lesley aka @msfitlesly has picks. For the color prompt she chose magenta which you may remember. For the art prompt she chose stars. I cannot wait to see how everyone interprets this prompt. I think I came at it from left field but I love my end design.
Lets start with my base. This is two gorgeous coats of Morgan Taylor Super Ultra Violet. Super Ultra Violet is a "blurple" it straddles the line between navy and deep purple.
I then sponged on ILNP Supernova on in random patterns on my nails. This is one of the new Ultra Chrome Flakies. I had such a hard time capturing the color shift on my nails. It goes from green, blue, and purple in the right lighting.
Finally I did my stars. I looked up constellation patterns and dotted on "stars" in the patterns of the constellations. On my thumb you'll find Leo, pointer is the Big Dipper, middle is Orion (MY FAVE), ring finger is Cassiopeia, and my pinky is Aires.
I love the idea of doing the constellations on my fingers. My dad taught me how to pick them out when I was little, so it was fun to use them in nail art.
Don't forget to check out everyone else's "Star" looks, the links are below.
Which constellation is your favorite? Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
