After being completely disgusted with the chipping from my Julep Taylor mani, I decided to redo my nails this weekend. I recently purchased Zoya Kristen, and since I was still feeling the blue mani from Taylor, I decided to sport Kristen this week.

Also, on Friday night I was chatting with Stephanie P. of All Painted And Ready To Go, she mentioned she just started up her nail swatching blog. So naturally I had to check it out (I LOVE nail blogs!!), and I ended up going to bed that night with the photo of her Orly's Gumdrop & Stamping mani still on my mind.

I have been trying to understand stamping tools and brands, because I'm itching to get into it... well, since I don't have any stamping materials or even a steady hand to recreate this on my own, I decided to pull out my L.A. Colors 3D nail stickers (they are the only white lacey styled stickers I have) and give Kristen a little flare!
WARNING!
There are a LOT of manicure photos ahead!
I was playing around with the Macro option on my cell phone's camera and I ended up taking over 20 manicure photos... these are the ones I just didn't have the heart to delete ;)
BASE COAT: Zoya Anchor Base Coat
TOP COAT: Zoya Armor Top Coat
EXTRA: ELF Essentials Nourishing Cuticle Pen

ReplyDeletelol, steal away! ;) Glad you like it! I thought at first it might be too busy, but after wearing it for the past few days, I LOVE it!!
DeleteVery pretty! It looks like you've spent hours painting that on :D xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh my, if I really did paint all that it'd definitely take up majority of my day ;)
Deletecute ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I love that color.
ReplyDeleteThat is so unbelievably pretty, I'm terrible at nail art too so am liking the idea of nail stickers :D
ReplyDeleteI'm becoming a nail sticker lover :)
DeleteI LOVEEEEE it. I was wondering what you did. Thanks for the shout out! You should really try the stamping, I think it's really simple and they're super cute. I actually just ordered another plate and a different color polish.
ReplyDelete:) Glad you like it! Thanks for the inspiration! I need to find out more info on stamping, not sure what brands are worth investing in.
DeleteI really like what you did with Zoya Kristen! Did you know the website describes it as grey with a hint of blue? LOL yeah right!!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks :) I had no idea, that's so weird because I wouldn't call it anywhere close to grey, well, I guess in darker lighting I could say it's grey-er, lol! Thanks for checking out my notd!
DeleteWhat an adorable manicure!!! I am totally inspired! I have been so polish obcessed lately! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) You and me both girl, I've been in the mood to try on all the polishes I own yet have never worn (yet) :)
