Lucky Nails with MoYou London Festive 21


Hi friends! St. Paddy's Day is coming up and that means I can finally use my plate from MoYou London that I got last year. Here's OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI stamped using MoYou London Festive 21 in Mundo de Unas Black. The green is OPI I'm Sooo Swamped and the gold is China Glaze I'm Not Lion. I lurrrve how these turned out! I used my new clear stamper from Fab Ur Nails and it would've taken me so much time and so many attempts to get this perfect placement, but instead it just took ONE. I can finally say bye to starting all over when I stamp over regular nail polish. Yay for clear stampers!

Celtic Knot for St. Paddy's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! So I did this gel mani yesterday morning before work. The original image of a shamrock I wanted to use from Bundle Monster BM-H05 just did not want to transfer to my gel. I've come to the conclusion that a lot of my BM images won't transfer on gel or topcoated nails because I've had this issue several times now that I've been using gel or only using BM when I swatch (over topcoated polish). Anyways I decided to use plan B and use the only Irish or St. Patrick's related image from one of my MoYou London plates as my MoYou London images transfer seamlessly to gel polish or topcoated nails.

I used OPI GelColor Alpine Snow and stamped using MoYou London Tourist 04 in Mundo de Unas Orange. I used Gelibility with Essie Shake Your Money Maker and China Glaze Angel Wings.

It's a bummer I finally had the chance to use my St. Patrick's themed images and it didn't end up working out. I've now added MoYou Festive 17 to my to-buy list!

St. Paddy's Watermarble

Goodmorning readers! I just spend a long time trying to get my blogger page to look normal. I think there was an update and now everything looks out of whack! Did anyone else notice this happen to their blog as well? Oh well, I will try to figure it out later. Today I have a green and orange watermarble for St. Patrick's Day that is coming up in a few days. I used a base of China Glaze Def Defying and then marbled with China Glaze Def Defying, China Glaze Starboard, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Green With Envy. I really like how these came out. When I have a successful watermarble, it makes me want to do another one right away!

St. Patrick's Day Mani #2

Happy St. Paddy's Day--and happy 90th birthday to my grandma!  Today I have a pretty cool mani that is inspired by the famous Robin Moses! She is so inspirational and talented! This is my first time drag marbling and I think it came out pretty cool. I used a base of L.A. Girl French Manicure Creme Brulee and then drag marbled using NYX Girls Luscious Green, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, and L.A. Girl Disco Brites Can U Dig It. I added some gold glitter using L.A. Colors Art Deco Gold Glitter. Then I stamped using BM03 in Konad Apple Green. The transfer of my stamp sucked as do most of my images from the first set of Bundle Monster plates that I own. I thought it ruined my mani, but it would've been a pain to take it off so I left it there.

St. Patrick's Day Mani #1

Hi lovelies! This is my first St. Paddy's Day mani I came up with. I have another one for you all tomorrow that I assure you is nicer than this one lol. My husband was on his way home from work and I tried to do this one real fast before he got home. I used Orly Fresh and Milani Jewel FX Gold. I usually like to use a sponge for any kind of 'gradient', but for this one I just kind of dabbed the brush on my nail and spread around the glitter with the polish brush. It was quick, I know it's not my neatest, but I still think it's a cute look if you're short on time!
