Finals Week Blues: Day 5 - Blue Stamping

Hello, ladies of blog world!

I am hella excited to announce that I am FINALLY finished with this semester. I still have most of my sanity, too! :vD

I'm also pretty stoked that this is the last day of 'Finals Week Blues'... I love my blue polishes and all, but I was getting really bored with it. :/ SO, for the last day of this series I decided to stamp a bit. Here's how it turned out:

This was the most difficult manicure to have ever been photographed, btw. I took/edited photo after photo and THIS was the best I could come up with. Oh well, I tried. Hopefully you get the idea. ;) The darker blue that I used is Barielle Berry Blue while the light blue foil I stamped with is Color Club Lumin-Icent. The stamp is from plate BM-222. I also didn't realize that this design  had a "center" to it until after I had already started stamping, which is why they're not completely centered. :P 

Anyway, this is all for tonight and for the 'Finals Week Blues' series. I hope you enjoyed it. :D

Thanks for reading!

Mystical Snakeskin & Bloglovin

Good morning, dear followers! 

So sorry for being such a stranger during the past week or so; I've been a tad bit busier than usual due to picking up two doubles and what not. Plus I just really enjoyed my water marble. :P WHICH, btw, was indestructible the entire week I wore it. :b I was super impressed because working two 12 hour days in a row would typically destroy it, but it didn't even chip! 

So, today I have another first time mani: snakeskin! :e But first, I shall show you one of the Zoya polishes that I got during their Valentine's promo. I present to you, Zoya Mira:

I was really excited about this because I realized I have zero purple cremes in my collection. o_O Crazy, I know. It's exactly what I was looking for, though, so yay! Zoya describes Mira as a "blue toned medium purple with dusty lavender tones and an opaque creme finish." PERFECTO. 

This is the bottle shot of Mira on Zoya's website, so you can see it's a little lighter and more purple/less blue in real life than in my photos. >.<

And here is my snakeskin! ^_^

In addition to Mira, I used OPI Silver Sparkler and OPI Fly with plate BM-215. I didn't like it very much at first, but I quite like it now. :) It doesn't look like any snake I've ever seen, but OH WELL. I believe I'll definitely experiment with this stamp again using different colors. Do you ladies like it?

Also, as we all know, they're taking away GFC so GaGa for Nails is now on Bloglovin! You may now click my button to follow me over to the left. ;)

Thanks for reading! <3

Not So Sweet V-day Mani

Greetings, ladies! :robot

Quick post tonight! I've got a date with my nails, Boy Meets World, and the boyfriend (via interwebs) tonight. :P I also have to figure out what I want to do for my Valentine's Day mani, humph. If anyone would like to inspire me, please do so. ;)

*Meh, smudged pinky. :(

For this look I was leaning more towards the "risque" side of Valentine's Day such as fishnets, lace, lingerie type things. I wanted to get away from the hearts and what not for a bit. :P Anyway, this is all for tonight. Time to start my V-day mani! :e Everyone have a good rest of the night!

February Flowers

Happy Wednesday, loves!

Today I'm going to show you something that I'm actually not too fond of, but I'm hoping some of you will like it  anyway. ;) 

I'm not very pleased with this photo either, but it's the best I had. Sowee. :/ This is Deborah Lippmann Believe stamped with Milani Blackberry Baby using stamping plate BM-221. And those are supposed to be flowers, by the way. :P I like the colors together, but it's just a liiittle too subtle for me. Oh well!

Thanks for reading, ladies! :D

Adventures In Stamping Series

Hello, all! 

Just a super quick post for tonight, straying a bit from my Valentine's theme. I wanted to let you ladies know about a group on Facebook called Adventures In Stamping, if you haven't heard of it already. Every week we pick a different stamping category and post our nails on the Facebook wall each Sunday. I joined it about a week or so ago and I love it. :) Last week was blue, meaning that we could ONLY use shades of blue. This is what I chose to do:

This is Color Club Lumin-icent stamped with Color Club Cold Metal using plate BM-221. Enjoy!
