China Glaze New Bohemians & Nailz Craze NC 01

Hey beauties! Today I have a beautiful butterfly wing mani that I will be entering into Nailz Craze stamping contest. I used the same method to do my base as I did in my pastel mani. In case you missed it, I used Miss Jen Fabulous's tutorial here. I started off with a base of China Glaze Rare & Radiant and made the blobs using China Glaze: Unpredictable, Want My Bawdy, Deviantly Daring, and No Plain Jane. I stamped using NC 01 in Konad Black. I added dots using white acrylic paint. Clean up was a pain, but I'm so happy with the result!

Born Pretty Store--Hello Kitty QA12 Stamping Plate Review

Happy Friday! Today I have a Hello Kitty stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to show you today. I was really excited to try this out and I am very happy with how well it works! I used 5 different images from this plate to test it out. I used China Glaze Escaping Reality and stamped using QA12 in Konad White. In case you were wondering, I used my Konad stamper and scraper to test out this image plate. I also added an extra watermark today because the Hello Kitty mani I did last summer is my most stolen photo ever!



Isn't this just adorable?! All of the images came out perfectly and I had no issues with getting the image to pick up or to stamp onto my nails. Hello Kitty's face on my ring finger is a tiny bit wide, but there were no issues with the quality of the plate at all. There are several different images to choose from on this one plate so you will be able to create several different manis out of it.

This plate is available here for $2.99 and you can use my code: NV7X31 for 10% off your entire purchase.

OPI My Very First Knockwurst & Konad M57

Hey lacquerheads! Today I have a mani from a week ago that I did as a palette cleanser for the new year. I used this combo once before in a rush and never took pics, so I tried it out again because I really enjoy how it looks. Here's OPI My Very First Knockwurst stamped using Konad M57 in Essie Good as Gold.
