Blue French Tip

Hello all!  I know I haven't posted in a while, but I actually did paint my nails at least once before this post but I didn't have the time to blog about it because it was Thanksgiving and I was busy eating/shopping/being lazy...ah yes, the American dream.

Anyways, here are my nails for now :)


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Bonder by ORLY
  • Base Color - mademoiselle by essie
  • Tip Colors - Jeanne by Julep & Tribeca Silver by NYC; blue part was freehanded, and silver part was painted on using a nail art striper brush
  • Stamp - BM-020 stamp plate by Bundle Monster used with special white polish by Konad
  • Top Coat - Out the Door by inm
Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours


French manicures are actually easier for me to paint on other than on myself.  When I paint my own nails, I often get caught up in the design and forget to take that step back so as to make sure my nails are even.  But when I paint on others I can easily step back and assess my progress.

I got to test out my new UberChic mat for nail art and large sticky stampers for this design.  The mat is amazing (so innovative yet so simple!) and the sticky stamper is too much fun.  I maybe spent a good 5 minutes just touching the stamping head and marveling at how sticky it was.  It's like touching jello.


I got home an hour early today so now I'm really confused as to what to do with my extra hour of free time...I honestly might just spend it playing Splatoon.

Well that's all I have to say for today.  Please stay safe, and I'll be back in about a week, plus or minus a few days.

Yeah :D

Anniversary Nails

I recently got to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend.  We went to a French American restaurant that was both quaint and semi-formal, so my nails had to match.


For this manicure:
  • Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paint
  • Base Color - My Vampire is Buff by OPI
  • Stamp Color - white by Konad
  • Stamp Plate - SH 211 by Shany Cosmetics
  • Studs - black half pearls from Claire's
  • Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
Approximate Completion Time: 1 hour - 1.5 hours


It's a very subtle design, which is good, because I need some subtle designs to balance out my crazy colorful other designs.  I have some of those coming up for y'all real soon!

But until then, stay safe and stay classy :)
