China Glaze Classic Camel and BM 219

I have more guest nails for you all today! I'll just make these next few guest nail posts quick ones since I'll be pretty busy until I leave to Hawaii on Tuesday. This is Merissa's mani. She used China Glaze Classic Camel as a base. I stamped using BM 219 in Konad black. This is actually a tip design, but it doesn't have to be used as one. I got this idea from this video by soguesswhat11. I wanted to add some gold glitter along the lines, but I didn't bring most of my nail stuff to my friend's house so I wasn't able to. Oh well, still cute!

OPI Planks A Lot and Konad M65

WOW. This is the longest I've gone so far without doing an actual nail post. My wedding is exactly a week away! I've either been to tired or too busy to post. I actually have stuff to post, just haven't made the time to actually do it. I went to my friend's house last week and did stamping manicures for her and some of her family. It was my first time doing something like that, but it was really fun and I can't wait to do it again. I'll be posting the guest nails throughout the week. First up, Angeline's mani. She used O.P.I. Planks A Lot as a base. I stamped using Konad M65 in China Glaze Emotion. Emotion is another one from the Romantique collection and just like the rest of the collection, it stamps great.

Yay for Awards!

I've received a lot of awards these past couple weeks and I've taken so long to get around to them, but better late than never, right?!

I received the Sunshine Award from Diana at Dutch DianaNails and NonsenseThe Manicured Monkey, Sara at Sara's Pretty Little Things


The rules are as followed:

- Thank the person who gave you this award
- Write a post about it
- Answer the questions below
- Pass it on to 10 bloggers who you think really deserve it and send them message to let them know.

The questions:
  1. Favorite color: I really like yellow and green. I can't pick one!
