Stamped on Tuesday


I have been doing a lot of stamped manis lately. I'm not sure why except I have all these plates and I want to try them all!

I used a frankenpolish as the base. 


Then I stamped over that with Julep Aisha. 


I really like the result. It was more feminine that I thought. I ended up wearing this manicure until it started chipping. That is something I rarely do anymore.

Galaxy Nails

Confession time! This is not the first time I've tried a galaxy nail manicure. It's just the first time I liked it enough to post. I would have fixed a couple issues, but we decided to go to dinner so I had to hurry a bit.

Items Used:

  • Orly Bonder
  • China Glaze Scandalous Shenanigans
  • Orly Androgynie 
  • Sinful Colors Snow Me White
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Melly Yellow
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Cherry Red
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Green With Envy
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Violet Voltage
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away!
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Crushed
  • Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat "Gold"
  • Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
I'm not sure what I did on my middle finger of my right hand. There is a weird spot on it. If we hadn't gone to dinner, I might have filled that in. And I don't know how the black hole on the ring finger happened, but I kind of like it.



I actually like my left hand better especially the ring finger. It's kind of strange that it looks better to me since I'm left handed and did this with my non-dominant hand.

My Halloween Week Nails

Was your Halloween week as crazy as ours?! I know this is a week late but wanted to share anyway. Here are two of the manicures I wore last week. There was a third, but it was a simple black mani with orange crackle polish on top. I didn't even take pics of that.

This first manicure was stamptastic! I so many different polishes here that I didn't even make a list.


The second manicure was my first real attempt at using acrylic paint on a couple nails. I like the outcome with the ghosts. I also used a Frankenpolish on this manicure. The green is a result of mixing neon green, a couple drops of black and a couple drops of yellow. It looks really disgusting in the bottle, but a perfect color for Halloween.


Sorry for being late, but Halloween is always busy around here!
