I couldn’t resist doing a bit of stamping over Eternal Basic nuru 06 from yesterdays post!
Bird Cage Nails
I used Messy Mansion plate MM14 Which you can find here
For the little birds I used Color club Lumin-Iceant which is a lovely icy blue/silver foil.
I had a bit of trouble with getting the stamp for the cages to work, so I made a stamped decal using Color Club topcoat, Konad Special Polish in Black, and some more of the Lumin-Iceant. I had a bit of trouble sticking the top corner of the decal to my nail but I think that’s just because I made it a bit to thick.
I really like how this turned out, I have to say I don’t think that I have ever worn a pastel shade for so long lol

Foil Peacock
I started this with a base of two coats of Black Magic from Revlon. For the stamping I used a combination, of Cold Metal (blue), Perfect Mol-Ten (green), Hot Like Lava (pink) and Antiquated (gold) all from the foil range from Color Club.
I put a drop of each polish on the image and and poked them all around with my scraper until the stamping image was covered, before removing the excess, I did mess up a couple of times as I wasn’t quick enough transferring the image to my nail. The Color Club Foil polishes dry really fast, I didn’t even have the chance to line up the image 
This is the first time I have tried stamping with more than two colours! I really like how it turned out 😀 even tho it was a pain to do!
The stamping plate I used is Messy Mansion Birdie plate MM14, which is available here.
Foiled again Peacock
I finished it off with a coat of color club top coat, The top coat is not too bad, it applied nicely and importantly didn’t mess up my stamping and it didn’t shrink…
After writing this I’m starting to think that this top coat might actually be rather good rather than not too bad! Lol.
It’s just I’m so used to using Seche Vite now that any other top coat lacks the thick glassy finish and seems to take for ever to dry! Maybe I should start trying out other brands of topcoat, so is Poshe any good? What about HKgirl? 🙂

The Birds!
I am still loving my new Messy Mansion plates! 😀 I have been wanting the Birdy plate for ages! And it really is as lovely as I thought it would be! 😀
You can find this lovely plate here!
As soon as I saw the plate I thought of the 1963 Hitchcock film The Birds! 😀
I started with a sponged Gradient using Grey from Barry M and Pumice from Sally Hansen, I let the polish dry a little on the sponge so it would look grainy.
I used black stamping polish from Konad, followed by a coat of Seche Vite, followed by a coat of matte topcoat, I used a coat of SV because my ELF matte topcoat just smears the stamped image really badly (which is why my thumb is hiding!).
Now I think it’s time to file my nails because typing is becoming a bit of a challenge lol! 🙂

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, life has been getting in the way! In a good way tho 🙂
I received my new Messy Mansion plates this week! 😀 I chose MM21 which is the Scaly Things plate, MM16 William Morris and friends and MM14 the Birdy plate. The image for today is from The scaly things plate! which you can find here
Gradient With Scaly Things!
For the Gradient I used Tanzanite and Aquamarine both from the Chroma Chameleon collection by Revlon, I found the polishes are a bit on the thin side, so I applied the gradient over a coat of black polish to make the colours pop. For the stamping I used Konad SP in black and finished it with a coat of Seche Vite!

I have had a crazy few days! I have finally got an Allotment! Yay! 😀 but it’s really overgrown :s I think it’s going to take a huge amount of work to get it to the point where I can start growing stuff and I dread to think about what all that is going to do to my nails! 
For my nails today I started with three coats of Wanna Samba? from Barielle Shades which is a lovely silvery duo-chrome, My photos seem to only show the silver/green tones, so you’ll have to take my word on the pink and purple 🙂
The Black Is konad special polish and the stamping plate I used is Messy Mansion Plate MM09 I finished it off with a thick coat of Seche Vite.
I love how this looks a bit like wrapping paper! 😀

Halloween Blood And Flies
For this bloody look I started with base coat and a nude base colour I used nude from Barry M.
Starting with the darkest red which is Perfect Plum From Sally Hansen new lengths range, I dabbed it in patches over my nails, I used the same technique with Ravishing Dahling from China Glaze, so I had patches of dark red.
While it was still wet I added Double Decker Red from Rimmel London over the unpainted parts of the nail, then some patches of Elle’s Spell from Barielle Shades for some sparkle! Then While it was still wet I mixed it about a little with a dotting tool to give it a slightly marbled look.
This took ages to dry even with fast dry top coat! but when it eventually was I used the Halloween stamping plate from Messy Mansion for the flies with Konad SP in Black. I finished it with one last coat of fast dry top coat from Color Club.
