Hi Lovelies! It's Tuesday, the 3rd
week of 2014, pretty much everybody is back at work and things finally feel
like they are sloooooowing doooown...Pshhhh, right! Where the hell
did the first 2 weeks of the year go people?? I don't know and that
scares me!
But enough rambling from me. Before we
get to todays mani I have a teeny tiny favor to ask you guys! I am
busy swatching my whole collection of polishes! Yeah, apparently I am
a sucker for punishment! I'm almost finished swatching my OPI Mini
Packs and then from there want to start swatching my full size
bottles. What I want to do is swatch each color type, 1 brand at a
time so that things wont get confusing and I'll have some sort of
archive going on the blog. For example, China Glaze Blues, Nubar
Reds, Tip Top Nudes etc... My problem is I don't know with which
brand to start. I currently have a little poll running on my Facebook page so if you guys would be so kind to go and vote, that would
seriously be awesome! Pleaaaaaaase!!!! Link to poll HERE.
Okay! Now for le fun stuff!
Quite a while ago I saw a lot of fellow
bloggers experimenting with the Stamping Decal Method. Finally I
decided that I need to climb aboard this pretty bandwagon so I gave
it a go! Please excuse me if my pictures look a bit yellowed today.
They turned out a bit foggy for some reason so I had to play around
with my GIMP Color settings quite a bit!
I started out by laying down a base of
China Grape Pop on my index finger, China Glaze Spontaneous on my
middle finger and OPI Do You Lilac It? on my pinky. I then added the
stamping decal to my ring finger that I made using Bundle Monster
stamping plate BM-313, China Glaze Grape Pop, China Glaze
Spontaneous, China Glaze Starboard, OPI Do You Lilac It?, Nubar
Greener, Nubar Pasadena Purple, Nubar Green Tea and Tip Top Nail Chic
We Have An Agreen Mint.
To finish off the look, I added some
dots to my other fingers using my medium sized dotting tool,
Nubar Green Tea, Tip Top Nail Chic We Have An Agreen Mint, China
Glaze Starboard and WOW Nail Polish #393.
Gaaaaaah,
I really like the Stamping Decal Method! It is taking stamping to a
whole new level and I love it! I've already done another mani with
this method so you will see that also one of theses days. Now, would
anyone like to see a tutorial on this? Please say yes because I just
want another reason to do this!
If you would like me to swatch any of the colors you saw in today’s post, please let me know via email or drop me a comment below. More than willing to oblige!
Lots of mad love...
These colours are gorgeous! I really like the decal too - that's something I have yet to try.
