Multicolored Stamping

Today I am checking off another number from the SBBNailChallenge, 26 Stamping! This stamping is different from other stamping manis I have done, I used 3 colors instead of my usual one. The colors I chose to use were Essence Break Through, Revlon Wild Strawberry and Pink Ice Mint Crush. For my base color I used Avon's Gel Finish polish in Iceberg. I'm hoping it won't begin to crack on my nails like other white polishes tend to do.

The plate I used is another one from Born Pretty Store, it's the Elegant Lace Bow Knot Pattern QA59. As with all the plates that I have received from there, it's great quality and has endless possibilities!

For how I done this multicolored stamping I have provided a picture tutorial :)

Here is the completed mani after clean up! I really like the way this came out and is something I will do again in the future!

Mint Mani

Y'all I am so in love with today's mani! I was going through my drawer of unworns trying to decide what I wanted to do with my nails and I kept coming back to That's What I Mint, the last of my unworn Essence polishes, I'm a sucker for mint shades so I love this one too. I didn't want to paint them a solid color so I dug around in that drawer some more and found one of the polishes I had picked up from Rue 21 which also has mint in it's name, Mint Crush. I decided I would give these two a try together, I swear they were 'Mint' for each other! LOL see what I did there.

I started out with two coats of That's What I Mint, of course application was flawless and it had a super fast dry time. In the bottle you can see some shimmer, but it did not show up on my nails. I used Mint Crush for my stamping color and used Mash plate 42, picked that up on Amazon. Mint Crush is a fantastic polish for stamping. Next time I'm near a Rue 21 I am going to pick up some more of their polishes!

So in love with both of these colors and the cool stamping design, hubby even said it was cool looking :)

Tomorrow I think I will do an empties post so I can stop hoarding trash LOL Hope you all are having a great day and if you live in the south watch out, I've heard it might be kinda stormy :/

Pink Ice: Chocolate Chip

A couple weeks ago I went in to Rue21 to check out their nail polish and came out with two. Today I want to share with you Chocolate Chip! A pastel Green with matte bright colored glitters.

This is a great polish for spring and summer, it's just such a fun looking polish! When I put the first coat down I was like oh no this is not what I thought it was, but it worked out. I had to apply 3 coats to get the polish to a good opaque finish. Luckily the polish dries fairly quickly, I was happy with that!

These Pink Ice polishes retail for $3.99, but I guess sometimes they have them on sale 2 for $5, that's what I got mine for.

I think they are a good quality nail polish, I wore this mani for about 4 days with no chips and just minimal tip wear. I really didn't want to take this off, it's so pretty to look at! It was a little bit of a pain to remove, but what glitter polish is not?

In other news, I have no clue what kind of posts I will have for the rest of the week. I have not had time to sit down and plan anything out :/

Hope you all are having a fantastic Tuesday!
