Hey Stampaholics! I have another quick post for you today that's inspired by henna. Here's Glam Polish Hey Ya stamped using MoYou London Explorer 22 in Mundo de Unas Reddish.

OPI Hello Hawaii-Ya & MoYou London Tropical 02

Happy Tuesday! Quick post today. Here's OPI Hello Hawaii-Ya stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 in OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest. I love how the shimmer from Every Month Is Oktoberfest shows up in the flowers!

China Glaze Float On & MoYou London Pro 06

Hi friends! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. Last weekend was Mr. Heartnat's birthday and we went camping at Big Basin Redwoods State Park and then this weekend he was able to get both days off so we just relaxed and spent time together. Hubby usually works weekends, so with him off I kind of neglected nail and blogging time. I'm going to have to figure out a way to be more productive during the week after work, which is one of the hardest things to do! 

Here's China Glaze Float On stamped using MoYou London Pro 06 in China Glaze Dune Our Thing. Dune Our Thing is also on my ring and pinky fingers. 

Madam Glam Light Lilac & MoYou London Holy Shapes 06

**Press Sample**

Happy Friday friends. Quick post today as I have a busy weekend ahead of me. I'll be camping this weekend and it's Mr. HeartNAT's birthday on Sunday!

Here's Madam Glam Soak-Off Gel Polish Light Lilac stamped using MoYou London Holy Shapes 06 in Mundo de Unas Black and Aqua. Light Lilac is such a beautiful shade on its own and I'm so happy that I have it in gel! You can purchase it from here for $19.95.

Gelish Pacific Sunset & MoYou London Tropical 02 & 12

Happy Memorial Day! I'm enjoying this 3-day weekend. Yesterday I met up with Katherine of Polished by KPT, Reina of reireishnailart, and Lisa of Cosmetic Sanctuary for lunch. It was a ton of fun--and of course we had to take an obligatory nail-fie!

Today I have a bright and summery mani to share with you. I used Gelish Pacific Sunset and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 and Tropical 12 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Pink, Pastel Yellow, and Neon Green. This was such a fun mani to wear!

Glam Polish Deceptive Practice & MoYou London Artist 01

Good morning beauties! Quick post today because I didn't get to play with my nails last weekend and I want to play with them now. Here's Glam Polish Deceptive Practice stamped using MoYou London Artist 01 in Mundo de Unas Fuchsia and Purple. 

Sea Shell-icious

Hi lacqueristas! Today I have a quick summery mani to share with you that totally makes me want to go to the beach. Speaking of going to the beach, Mr. HeartNAT and I are going to Tahiti in September! We're even going to stay in an overwater bungalow. It's going to be a dream vacation and I can't wait! I'll share more details in a few months =]

For this mani I used Glam Polish Catch Me If You Can and stamped using MoYou London Sailor 05 and Sailor 07 in Mundo de Unas White. You guys already know I love MoYou London plates and the quality is top notch, but these images blew my mind. Look at all the tiny details that all transferred! I'm even more impressed than I already was. What's your favorite brand of stamping plates?

Gelish I'm Brighter Than You & MoYou London Tropical 02

Good evening friends! Hope you all had a great start to the week. I did! I've been playing with that app called "My Idol" all day and it's super addicting and fun lol. Today I have a mani to share with you that I did a little over a month ago. With all the swatches I've been doing I've been holding onto my regular posts for quite awhile before I share them here. I used Gelish I'm Brighter Than You and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 02 in Mundo de Unas Black. The black polish is OPI GelColor Black Onyx.

Glam Polish Death Defying Acts & MoYou London Pro XL 14

Good morning lacquer heads! Today I have a pretty rainbow mani to share with you. I used Glam Polish Death Defying Acts and stamped using MoYou London Pro XL 14 in Mundo de Unas Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. I'm glad I have so many Mundo stamping polishes now because I can do things like this. Also this was done a whole 2 months ago--I love having things saved up to post (which is usually not the case)!

Glam Polish Escape Artist & MoYou London Sailor 05

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful warm weather if it's warm where you are. I'm currently selling stuff at a garage sale so I'll make this post a quick one. Here's Glam Polish Escape Artist stamped using MoYou London Sailor 05 in Mundo de Unas Neon Blue. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. I'll be graduating soon with my bachelors in nursing and also moving in just over a month so I'll be quite busy over the next month and a half or so. No worries though, I'll still be posting weekly!

Glam Polish Sorcerer's Apprentice & MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10

Happy Saturday folks! Quick post today. I did this mani while swatching Glam Polish's Master's of Illusion Collection. I used Glam Polish Sorcerer's Apprentice and stamped using MoYou London Kaleidoscope 10 in Mundo de Unas Black. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. Rachel from Glam Polish actually asked me to swatch the last 4 polishes from the Master's of Illusion Collection so be on the lookout for those swatches next week!

Glam Polish The Prestige & MoYou London Fashionista 11

Good morning friends! Quick post today. I have to finish up some homework and then do some Easter nails. Yesterday I shared my Glam Polish Master's of Illusion collection swatches. For today and my next few posts, I'll be showing you those beauties with some nail art!

Here's Glam Polish The Prestige stamped using MoYou London Fashionista 11 in Mundo de Unas Violet. I love this plate because it's one of those with a continuous design covering the whole plate so each nail is different, but still ties in with the rest of the nails.

OPI Do You Take Lei Away & MoYou London Tropical 01

Happy Friday beauties! I'm so happy that Spring is here because that means lots of colorful manis and floral prints to come! Here's my first one using one of the polishes from the OPI Hawaii Collection.

I used OPI Do You Take Lei Away and stamped using MoYou London Tropical 01 in Mundo de Unas White.

I added some gold glitter in the center of the flowers to make it pop. You probably can't tell, but I made this into a gel manicure with Gelibility. I love having my stamped manis last me all week at work now. I just need to figure out a way to use studs with gel and get through the week without them falling off. I've already tried anchoring the stud with gel topcoat, curing, then adding 2 coats of topcoat and curing. Any suggestions?!

OPI Cement The Deal & MoYou London Fashionista 04

Hello beauties! This weekend just flew by and I still need to do a St. Paddy's day mani. Yikes! I might just wake up early and do my nails before work. Today I have a grey and yellow chevron design to share with you. I used OPI Cement The Deal and stamped using MoYou London Fashionista 04 in Mundo de Unas Pastel Yellow. I really like how this turned out, but the grey gave me lobster hands as grey polish always does to me. *sadface*

Glam Polish Hypnotize & MoYou London Fairytale 01

Hi friends! Quick post today because I have some homework I should be working on! Here's Glam Polish Hypnotize stamped using MoYou London Fairytale 01 in Mundo de Unas White. Sorry I didn't post last weekend, but I have a couple posts ready for this weekend! I'll also try my best to squeeze in some St. Paddy's Day nails next week! I hate missing a holiday or "special day" mani because I have so many stamping plates with images for every type of holiday and I hate waiting around for the next year to use them. Let's hope I have good time management this weekend!

Black & Blue or White & Gold? Inspired by "The Dress"

Hey loves! I usually post on the weekends, but the dress with questionable colors is such a hot topic right now that I just had to post this sooner. I wanted to do this as soon as I saw Tam from ohmygoshpolish do a mani inpired by this dress. I'm sure you all have seen the photo of the dress over the weekend in which some people see as black and blue and others see as white and gold. I saw the dress as white and gold, but apparently the real dress is black and blue! 

For my index and pinky I used OPI Eurso Euro and stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 XL in Mundo de Unas Black. For my middle and ring I used Color Club On Cloud Nine and stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 in Mundo de Unas Bronze. So what colors did you all see when you saw the dress? And more importantly, what color are my nails?!

Delicate White Lace Stamping

Happy Friday my friends! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post last weekend. I went on a last minute little getaway to Angels Camp, a cute little city here in California. I did a lot of swatching of Glam Polishes over the past couple of weeks so I'll be sharing those with you guys soon! Today I have a mani I wore a couple weeks ago and I love how it turned out.

I used Essie Sugar Daddy and stamped using MoYou London Bridal 06 in Mundo de Unas White. The pink is OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops and the glitter is China Glaze Glistening Snow--my favorite silver glitter polish!

Also, I never thought I'd say this, but my round nails are growing on me! I haven't had any breaks since I changed my shape and I was so busy last week that I didn't get a chance to file my nails, but the shape is still fine. When I had squares I had to re-file them every week. I even wore this mani to work all week and it's just regular polish and it lasted the whole week with no chips. I'm kind of amazed. I'll probably be keeping this shape for a long time!

Fifty Shades of Grey Inspired Nail Art

Hey ladies! I'm sure a lot of you have either read or watched Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm almost done with book 2 of the trilogy and I just watched the movie this weekend. I love the books so far, but the movie was alright. Anyways, I did these Fifty Shades of Grey inspired nails using the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey collection, duh! Here's OPI Cement the Deal stamped using Bundle Monster BM-420, Cheeky CH55, and MoYou London Biker 02 in OPI Dark Side of the Mood. The glitter is OPI Shine for Me.

I don't care much for grey on me, but I love this collection, because my hubby went to the nail supply store all by himself to get it for me and surprised me with it along with 2 dozen roses!

Creative Shop Stamper Review

**Press Sample**

Hi friends! Today I have a review of the stamper from Creative Shop, a Ukraine based online shop. I had seen a lot of people starting to use this stamper over the last couple months and when Ksenija of Creative Shop asked me if I wanted to review the stamper I jumped at the opportunity. The stamper is made out of a unique material unlike any of the other stampers I own, has a large silver holder with a unique shape, and did I mention it's huge! Take a look at the size compared to the stamper I currently use from EBay. It also came with a card containing the shop info and doubles as a scraper.

As you can see the Creative Shop stamper on the right is made of a semitransparent soft silicone. It's not as squishy as a "squishy stamper," but still conforms to the nail. It's hard to describe but basically when I press my finger into the center of my regular stamper, the stamper "spills over" the sides as it's so soft. If I do that with the Creative Shop stamper, my finger still goes deep into the stamper, but it doesn't "spill over" the sides if that makes sense. 

When I first used the stamper for this manicure, I noticed that there were "hairs" on the edges of the stamped images which I have never encountered before. You can see them if you look up close, but no one is going to notice them since they're so tiny.

I also used the stamper for another manicure. I decided to do a mani inspired by Deborah of Love Varnish. I did this Gelibility manicure using China Glaze Lotus Begin and stamped using MoYou London Pro 06 in Mundo de Unas White and A-England Crown of Thistles. I didn't get any of the "hairs" with this second manicure.

All of the thin lines transferred very well, but I will note that compared to my other stamper, the lines are a little finer. If I were to compare it to fonts, I would say my regular stamper transfers "bold" and the Creative Shop stamper transfers "regular." This is something that would be a matter of preference as sometimes I want my images bold and there are other times where I want to do something that won't cover up too much of my base. 

I won't be ditching my regular stamper, but overall this is a great stamper. It transfers images very well, it's easy to use, doesn't need any priming, feels comfortable to hold, the stamper head didn't fall out while I used it, and it's huge. You can purchase this stamper here for $8.

Gold stamping over Matte Black

Hi lovelies! I started school again this week which was no fun, but that just means I'm another week closer to graduating. Today I have some gold stamping over matte black. I was inspired from a notebook I saw in a post from Makeup and Beauty blog. I love when I see something and immediately have a nail idea pop into my head. It happens a lot, but I forget most of my ideas probably because I know I won't have time to execute them all.

For this mani I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and then topped it off with Essie Matte About You. Then I stamped using MoYou London Pro 01 and Konad M59 in Mundo de Unas Gold. I just placed another order from Mundo de Unas and I can't wait to get all my new stamping polishes next month so I can do more color combinations especially for the upcoming Spring and Summer months!
