Adventures in Stamping: Can't Wait for Fall

Usually we stamp on Sundays, but I'm bringing you a late installment. I've been super busy the past two days coordinating Welcome Week for my student organization so I didn't have time to write up the post (or take photos of it at its best). I wasn't really feeling fall colors but since it was Welcome Week and the start of the fall semester, I used my school colors! 

For this mani I used Blackheart Amsterdam, Sally Hansen Whirlwind White, L.A. Colors Circuits, Sally Hansen Wet Cement, Spoiled Shuffle the Deck, Lush Lacquer Midnight Affair, Jade Magia Negra and Jade Vermelho Surreal. I used Bundle Monster plates BM322, and BM301, and Mash plates Mash 47, Mash 45, and Mash 49.

Adventures in Stamping: Two Stamps

Today's Adventure in Stamping challenge is to use two stamps. I thought this way a perfect opportunity to try a lace mani!

I used Orly Nite Owl then stamped with BM 07, BM 209 and L.A. Colors Circuits. I had some weird issues with the first stamp from BM 07 but I didn't stress too much since it was going to be covered by the fishnet design. I really like how this turned out!

Adventures in Stamping: Precious Stones

On the docket for today's stamping challenge: Precious Stone. I decided to use polish names that were stones and then dress it up all classy like with some gold stamping. 

I used China Glaze Emerald Sparkled and Savvy Ruby Slippers. It came out more Christmas-y than I hoped lol. I saw Emerald Sparkled on a blog last week and decided I needed it. It is gorgeous! If you don't have it, seriously, go on eBay and find it now. You need it!

Then I stamped with China Glaze Passion and Bundle Monster plate BM 312. I couldn't get it perfectly centered and straight, but I'm still pretty proud of it. If you need a good gold for stamping, get Passion. Go add it to your Emerald Sparkled order on eBay. You're welcome. (<-- reference to Awkward.. Not being rude ;) )

Adventures in Stamping: Beth's 9th Birthday

Today is The Crumpet's daughter's Birthday! Her name is Beth and she's turning 9! To celebrate our group decided to do a plate ending in 9.  I chose BM 209 and decided to do a reptilian inspired mani.

I started with two coats of Gap Gold Rush, which is absolutely gorgeous. And so shiny! It's almost like a mirror.

Then I stamped with BM 209 and CND Green Scene, which is like the perfect green and works amazingly for stamping :)

Happy birthday, Beth! I hope you have a fabulous day :)

Adventures in Stamping: Plate Ending in 5

This weeks Adventure in Stamping challenge is any plate ending in 5. I chose Cheeky plate CH5. There were stars on this plate so there was no way I could resist it! 

I started with a base of 17 Fury. This polish covered in 1 coat! Then I stamped over it with W7 Purple Paradise.

I love this color combination! In the light I was working in, Fury looked more gold. With the stars, it really reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason. Anything that reminds me of Harry Potter makes me really happy :)

Adventures in Stamping - Blue

Hello! I'm in a facebook group called Adventures in Stamping and there's a challenge every Sunday. The challenge today was "blue". We could do anything we want, but it ALL had to be in blue. Here's what I did :)

I started with 3 coats of my new Sinful Colors Cinderella (GORGEOUS!) and then stamped with NYC Skin Tight Denim and Bundle Monster plate BM209. I picked this design because it looked like rippling water, so it seemed appropriate for an all blue mani :) This challenge was perfect for me because I have SOOOOO MANY blues. It's seriously a problem. I'm not super pleased with the stamping because I did it in a rush, but it's not horrible.
