Essie The Girls Are Out & Cheeky Jumbo C

Hi my polished pretties! Today I have a mani that I did to transition from fall to summer. I did this by using a polish from a summer collection and a polish from a fall collection. For this mani I used Essie The Girls Are Out and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo C in OPI Haven't The Foggiest. OPI Haven't The Foggiest is also on my ring finger and pinky. I was going to stamp with one of my silver stamping polishes, but I would feel weird doing my nails with 2 different shades of silver. It's okay though because I liked how subtle this looked anyways.

Essie The More The Merrier & MoYou Princess Collection 02

Happy Tuesday! Quick post today. I've been writing papers all weekend and haven't had much time for my nails. Here's a mani I wore for a whole 6 days last week! I used Essie The More The Merrier and stamped using MoYou Princess Collection 02 in Konad White. The glitter is OPI Crown Me Already. This was my first mani using my new MoYou London plates. I had this Tinker Bell mani planned out as soon as I saw the plate online. So far I'm impressed with the quality of the images I used and they picked up perfectly. Can't wait to do more manis with them!

Essie Sunday Funday & Cheeky Jumbo C

Hi friends! Quick post today because I have to catch up on my homework. Here's a mani I wore a couple weeks ago and I really loved how it looked. I used Essie Sunday Funday and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo C in Essie Good As Gold. The studs are from Born Pretty Store and you can check out my review of them here. I'm so happy that I purchased the Essie Naughty Nautical collection and some Cheeky jumbo plates. I have been playing with them so often! What purchases have you been using a lot lately?
