Rainbow Gradient & PUEEN 38

Hey beauties! Today I tried out PUEEN stamping plates for the first time. I have seen a lot of people using these lately and I just had to buy some of my own. I really like the variety of images on them. For this mani I did a gradient using China Glaze Bottoms Up, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, and Essie In the Cab-ana and then stamped using PUEEN 38 in Konad Black. The accent is OPI Metallic 4 Life. I had originally had all of my nails with the gradient, but during clean up my middle finger sadly got destroyed and instead of redoing the entire nail I decided to just use a glitter polish. What do you ladies do when a nail gets messed up, do you leave it alone or fix it?

Born Pretty Store--Stud Combination Wheel Review

Good afternoon lacqueristas. Today I have a stud combination wheel from Born Pretty Store to review for you. The wheel comes with 12 different kinds of studs ranging from different shapes, sizes, and colors. I was able to create several different manicures with these. I included some new manicures and a couple old ones in which I used studs from this nail wheel.

China Glaze Sun of A Peach and China Glaze I Herd That with some gold bar studs

I really love how these turned out!

Here's an old one I posted here

Here's the mani I posted yesterday and am currently wearing

I used OPI A Definite Moust Have and OPI Black Onyx and mattified them with Essie Matte About You

Sorry for the weird angle, but here's an idea of the different sizes that come in the wheel

Here's one of the larger studs and I will not be using.

I was able to create a lot of different manicures and I will be using this again in the future as it gives me plenty of options. One thing I didn't like is that the wheel I received has 2 different studs than the one shown in the photo on Born Pretty's site. I purchase a lot of things online and I really rely on the photos to be accurate of the item. Another thing is that some of the studs in here are too big for use so I won't be using every item in the wheel. You can purchase this item here for $3.99.

My Girly 'Man of Steel' Nails

Happy Friday! Really quick post today because I have to be ready to go watch Man of Steel when my hubby gets off work soon lol. Here's the mani I'm wearing. I used China Glaze Bottoms Up and stamped using Fab Ur Nailz Fun 2 in Konad White. My accent nail is China Glaze Glistening Snow. It was actually my husband's idea for me to use pink and white. I love when he participates when I do my nails lol. How about you ladies? Does your boyfriend/husband ever give his input when you do your nails?

The pink is not color accurate. I can never photograph neons right! =/
