Hello there.  Today's mani is using a polish that no longer exists (sorry) but I love it so much.  It's the first indie I ever bought.  It's Moss from Chick polish.  The formula is so perfect.  I like thin coats but you could easily get this opaque in one if you were more heavy handed than me.  



 This was my first attempt at reverse stamping.  It's not perfect but it also does not represent the frustration I felt while trying to accomplish it.  I recently purchased a couple new stampers, a big squishy one and a couple of clear ones.  For whatever reason I can not get any of them to work.  So I ended up using my Salon Express one that I got with my basic kit.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but so far haven't been able to figure out what it is.
 Regardless, I ended up loving this so much.  It was so elegant and pretty.  Again, I apologize for the quality of my pics.  I'm still learning.
Namaste, hug the ones you love, and have a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I don't have a V-Day mani to show.  I've taken all those pics but need to get them on the computer and am trying to figure out how to watermark my photos.  I have zero skills computer wise and we have the most rudimentary tools for that sort of thing so wish me luck.  
  Here is a swatch for today anyway.


Actually, I guess it is a little Valentine's ish.  I actually did this for Christmas originally.  I used one of the Festive plates from MoYou and stamped with the Sally Hansen gold foil polish.  I just used my basic "as seen on TV"  Salon Express stamper kit to stamp.  I have tried that polish with squishier stampers and it didn't work.  
The top coat is one of my fave's.  It's from CND (obs) and leaves like this awesome sweater like finish. It has these teeny tiny filaments in it.  It will make your mani look like a fuzzy sweater.  I apologize because I don't know if you can even get it any more.  My sis gave it to me years ago when you could only get CND at Cosmoprof . 


I hope you like it and I hope you have a great day.  Give hugs to the ones you love!  Namaste

Hello out there!  For today I'll going to show you a polish from iamcustomcolor.  I don't think it's available any longer but it does attest to the beauty of her creations and you can always keep an eye out for it in a destash.



This is Eau De Krumm.  A goldish nude with some multichrome flakies and a bit of a holographic shimmer.  So, so pretty.


It went on really nicely.  This is two coats with no top coat.  Namaste and have a great day!
