10 Day/Week...OK MONTH! Challenge - Blue Nails

Oh, here's something I can do easily. I love blue nail polish. I decided to dip into my stash of polish that I haven't tried yet. Happily there was some blue in there. Here is what I came up with.


It's a simple stamping mani using Wet n Wild 315A (it's old and doesn't have a name) as the base color, and the stamping was done using Julep Melanie and stamping plate Mash-49. Here is Wet n Wild 315A by itself.


It's a pretty deep sparkly blue. Application is great even after all these years. I've probably had this polish for about 13 years, no joke. My coworker Josh says I need to do a starry manicure with this color. I couldn't agree more. I think this will be my base for a galaxy manicure in the near future. :) Thanks for looking!

Copy Cat Sat - Chalkboard Nails

This week's Copy Cat Sat is featuring my mom's lovely hands. :) She saw this blogpost from Chalkboard Nails and fell in love. When she asked me if I could recreate it, we decided to give it a shot. Here is what it ended up looking like.

 
We thought it looked kind of like stained glass. :) We started with a solid white base, and then added the color. The orange is Nina Burnished Bronze, the purple is China Glaze Coconut Kiss, the Red is OPI Nice Color, Eh?, and the blue is Bath & Body Works Blue Moon Shimmer. Here it is in the shade.


And here's another sparkly sunlight photo.


We were pretty happy with how this turned out. The colors look really pretty together. Thanks for looking and see you next week!
