7 Days of St Patrick's Day Nail Challenge: Day 2: Double Stamping with Shamrocks

I'm doing this St. Patick's Day Nail Challenge for 7 days that I saw on Facebook.

For day 2, I decided to go with some double-stamping. I used Apipila P38 and Apipila 04B for this look. The base color is Kleancolor Jazz Olive and I stamped the black with Il Etait Un Vernis Paint it Black and the white with Il Etait Un Vernis White Canvas using my original Creative Shop Stamper. All can be found on Beautometry.com.

I think this turned out nice, I'll have to try double-stamping again in the future Have you tried it yet?

7 Days of St Patrick's Day Nail Challenge: Day 1: The Dancing Leprechaun

For St. Patrick's Day, I decided to join a challenge to produce 7 days of St Patrick's Day nails. I thought this would be fun and festive!

I decided to start with a base of Kleancolor Bikini Green, which is a great neon green color. It took about 3 coats to make it opaque enough but looks great.

I then stamped using Hit the Bottle As Black as Night and Hit the Bottle Be Cider-self stamping polishes from Beautometry.com. I stamped the images from Messy Mansion plate MM04, which has a lot of fun St. Patrick's Day images on it.

What do you think? I love it! I used FUN Lacquer King on the accent nail and rally like that extra holographic sparkle it added to the shamrocks.

Tutorial: Galaxy Manicure Featuring Mr. Spock

I've always wanted to try a galaxy manicure. They are just so beautiful! I figured it might be hard or too complicated, so that is what took me so long. But, they are actually  really easy and a lot of fun. I also did a video tutorial of this manicure so everyone can see how easy they are to do.

I used a lot of different polishes for this manicure. I started off with Il Etait Un Vernis Paint it Black as a base for all my nails and then added Il Etait Un Vernis Light Box. I made the different stars, planets, etc with those glow in the dark pumpkin polishes you find at Rite Aid around Halloween time. (you can see them in the background of the photo). I used Sugar Bubbles SB14 for the stamping of the shield and Mr Spock from Star Trek. I made stamping decals of each and colored them in and then put them on my nails. You can see all the details and step by step in the video below.

What do you think? Have you ever tried a galaxy manicure?
