Retro Baby Pearls

Thursday, August 5, 2010
Ciaté Refresher stamped with Bundle Monster Plate 19 and China Glaze Sci-Fi finished with Nail Art Baby Pearls

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday already so the time is flying by, only two more days to pass and then it's weekend. For me the upcoming weekend also means vacation time and I'm really really really looking forward getting some rest, fun and sun.

Like you can see above today is another Bundle Monster plate design, this time from BM plate 19. The design looks kind of retro to me and I can imagine it looks really retro when you combine it with orange and muddy green. However, with the colours I chose it looks kinda futuristic. So it's a design you can do lots of different styles with.

My base colour is Ciaté Refresher, a great pale light blue. I stamped with China Glaze Sci-Fi, again from the Khrome Collection (cause we all know how awesome they are with konad stuff). After that I used the sweetest baby pearls every and placed them in the centre of the circle. My baby pearls are from the Dollar Nail Art store which is really awesome. I definitely recommend it to you if you're looking to start off with tiny amounts of glitter, rhinestones, foils and more.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Striping Tape Part 2

Saturday, May 8, 2010
Hi dear reader!

How was the start of your weekend? Mine started with a nail polish hunt in Germany, Oberhausen to be exact. I've spent my day in CentrO with Michèle and Daph and scored some nice goodies!

I've also tried something else with the striping tape. I've got a few tips and after spending a little time with it, this is the result:

OPI Ogre-the-Top-Blue Shrek Forever After Collection 2010 Striping Tape Dollar Nail Art Silver Striping Tape Nail Art Baby Pearls Nail art Design

The base colour is OPI's Ogre-the-Top-Blue and the striping tape is from Dollar Nail Art. I've also placed one baby pearl in the centre of each nail because I like baby pearls haha. My second try worked out a lot better but it's still not perfect. I'm a terrible picky person and I'd hate it when the striping tape is cut off too short, so now it's a little too long for my nails. I'm still trying to succeed having the perfect length of tape on my nails!

About Ogre-the-Top-Blue: perfect bright medium blue. Application was fine - at least better than Shrek and Fiona! Those were very streaky and I needed four (!) coats to even it all out. I'm wearing three coats in the picture. I'm also having a top coat issue, my OPI RapiDry gets all bubbly. :(

That's it for today. Have a great weekend!
