Saturday's Stamping

Currently reading: Game of Thrones

Good morning lovely readers,

I hope your weekend has started well and have you have something enjoyable planned for the next couple of days :-) Today I'd like to show you a floral manicure I did recently:

My base was Hibiscus by Natural Collection.

I then stamped using Konad Special White and Mash plate m25.

Sometimes the image came out in the centre of my nail and sometimes at the side but the original plan was to have the flowers at the side ;-)

A very simply stamping manicure but one which I quite liked.

Bye for now,
Laura

Saturday's Stamping

Currently listening to: White Shadows by Coldplay

Hello dear readers,

I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend. As you know, I'm away in York but I've scheduled this post (hopefully) so that you can see the manicure I'm currently sporting.

On the back of last week's French manicure success, I decided to try another one.
As before, I painted my white tips (with a slightly steadier hand this time) then applied a coat of Eyeko Petite Polish over each nail.

I then stamped a floral pattern from MASH plate m25 using Kiko 254. Some of the stamping wasn't as crisp as I would have liked and ended up slightly watery but overall I was pleased with this manicure despite the usual issues over stamp placement.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,
Laura

Thursday's Talons (A First For Me!)

Currently watching: Strictly: It Takes Two

Good morning girls! Today I'm very excited to show you my manicure as I do believe it's a first for me:

I used a white polish for my tips and then applied a coat of Eyeko Petite Polish for my French manicure. I rarely do French manicures as I find it difficult to freehand the tips and I always find they chip quickly or end up with holes in them for some reason. There are quite a few holes and smudges in the tips of this manicure but I don't think they're *too* obvious...

I then decided to stamp using a purple Miss Sporty polish and MASH plate m25. I originally intended to use only the butterfly image but I was nervous about messing up the stamp placement so I decided to use the floral image on alternate nails as I felt there was more freedom for placement error with this image.

Overall I was very happy with this manicure and it's definitely a style which I will wear again. I loved typing at work yesterday and catching flashes of my white tips. It's a very clean manicure I think.

What do you think of this type of manicure girls? Is it something you'd try yourself?

Bye for now,
Laura
