Suede Magic

Two layers of OPI You Don't Know Jacques! Suede and I stamped over that with Insta-Dri Mochachino.

Dots

First I did three(!) layers of Beige Blast then stamped over that with Finger Paints Black Expressionism and followed everythin up with my favorite topcoat.

New Polishes!

More Original

 I used this as my base

 Just one layer of DS Original over it.

 Blurry picture to show all the colours!

New Swatches

 Love this colour and can't wait to try in on a fun mani. It's Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver.

 Nicole by OPI The Next CEO

 This Insta-Dri was a gift and the colour name tag must have fallen off. It doesn't photograph that well, but it's a gorgeous dark purple with some sparkle in it.

Nicole and essie walk into a bar

I bought some new polishes and decided to try these two together! The base coat is two coats of essie Dive Bar. It goes on nice and thick. I prefer to do two thinner coats as opposed to one glopping thick coat. Mostly because I prefer it to dry as quickly as possible and this helps, BUT if you had some time on your hands you could certainly get away with doing just one thick coat of this polish. It's not as holographic as I thought it would be based on the bottle. It's a nice dark blue colour though. On top of that I stamped with Nichole by OPI in The Next CEO. It's a beautiful gold colour. Really smooth application, and as you can see by the label on the bottle it has a great brush for putting the polish on.

Pin me up

A quick mani I did for my sister over the weekend. Fist I put on Beige Blast then we stamped over that with Pure Ice Taupe Drawer an a quick light coat of Nubar 2010. For her thumbs I applied a pin-up girl nail tattoo that I purchased off of eBay to each one. And of course followed everything up with SV Topcoat.

New colour

I Picked up this new polish the other day. This is two coats over white. It helps the light colour really pop.

Grass and Dirt

I'm loving this finished mani! I started with Finger Paint Paper Mâché as a base, then added two coats of China Glaze Tree Hugger. I stamped over it with with Insta-dry Mochachino. Finally I added a large diagonal stripe also in Mochachino. Finished off with SV topcoat.

Another recycled mani

For this one I started again with a black base coat followed by two layers of Recycle. Then a layer of SV topcoat. Onto that I stamped one of my bundle monster designs.

Recycled stripes

Here is a mani I did today with my new polish. I live this colour, but it it is kind of sheer. I did a black base coat and two coats of Recycle. I've included pics if how to apply the scotch tape to get the design. I love the way this looked when I was done. Of course, I love black and grey together.

Recycle

Got this in the mail today! Its China Glaze Recycle. Hopefully I can do a mani with it tomorrow. So exciting!

Electric blue

Finally got around to using one of the new bundle monster plates I purchased. I started with a Finger Paint white base coat so that I wouldn't have to paint so many layers of the blue (also Finger Paint, Sexy In The City). Once that was dry I did a layer of Seche Vite then stamped the design in a dark purple and finished with SV topcoat. It's very bright! Makes me think of some kind of candy... I'm just not sure what.
