OPI Cross and Rhinestone Manicure

Hello to you all! How's your Thursday going so far? Today, I have a stamping manicure for you! Yay! Stamping! If you haven't heard of stamping then you definitely need to "jump on the band wagon". Most nail bloggers use stamping as an easy way to "amp up" their manicures. Stamping is super easy once you get the method down, and can be found anywhere on the internet. You can see the rest of my stamping posts by searching "stamping" in the search bar, or clicking "stamping" in my label cloud! 

Enjoy! xx


The green I used here is a colour that I've only used once. It has been hidden away in my stash and when reorganizing I came across it. OPI Gargantuan Green Grape is a matte laquer that I got at Winners one day. It goes on a little funky, as all matte polishes do and is a little streaky; but it is however a gorgeous colour. 


I decided that I didn't want it to be matte, and to help cover the streaks I stamped on it using Cheeky plate CH44 with Sinful Colours Black on Black then topped it off with Orly Top 2 Bottom Base and Topcoat. 


The grey/purple colour is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Greige Gardens. It's actually an amazing colour, and is subtle yet sophisticated. I thought that it paired with the rhinestones perfectly. 


The rhinestones were bought off of Born Pretty and you can find their website here! There's a 10% off code which you can get by clicking here, but I haven't used it for a while, and don't know if it still works! The micro beads were bought off of Ebay!

Matte Glitter with Bundle Monster Stamping Plates

So, these are nails from quite a long time ago. I didn't like them much at the time and wasn't even going to put them on here, but hey, who cares, and I like them a lot more now. I love the matte colours and how they turned out. The pictures don't quite catch the glitter that well, but it's definitely an amazing colour. 



For these nails, I used Colour Club Gift of Sparkle (purple) and an old grey that my mother had. I don't have the name of this colour, sorry!


I used NYC Matte Me Crazy for a top coat! 



The stamping plate that I used was BM316.


If you don't already have the Bundle Monster stamping plates I highly recommend them! They're a lot cheaper then Konad plates, but are still great quality. Head over to Bundle Monster to pick them up!

Colour Club Almost Famous with Cancer Awareness Ribbons

Hi everyone! I apologize again for not posting, god I'm bad at this! Haha. Well, if you follow me on Twitter (@nailedintoyou) you may have seen a preview of this mani. I really like this one, and actually wore it on my nails for a whomping 4 days! Holy crap! This was one that gathered a lot of attention from people I passed in the hallways at school, and when I was working. Everybody seemed to love this.

There isn't one person in the world who hasn't been affected by cancer. Well, I'm sure there is somewhere, but you know what I'm saying. Cancer isn't prejudice, or racist, it gets whoever it can. 
Together, maybe we can find a cure and save hundred of lives. 


I Used Colour Club Almost famous, and Sinful Colours Black on Black!


The stamping plate is Bundle Monster BM321!


The bows were bought off Ebay!

Maybelline Gray's Anatomy with Cheeky Stamping

Hi everyone! I know this is late, again. But I had an English assignment that I had to get done.  Anyway, I'm not really in a talkative mood, I'm quite tired, so let's get straight to the mani! 


I used a new holographic polish I have, called Gray's Anatomy by Maybelline. It changes from purple to green, and I had an extremely hard time photographing it. I tried every room in my house, and none of them did this polish justice. 


I stamped on top of it with Sinful Colours Black on Black using the Cheeky plate CH44. I added the dots with a dotting tool that I brought off ebay.

Colour Club Ruffles with Bundle Monster Snowflakes

First winter/Christmas Design! Okay, so. Just a warning, this design is treacherous. I hate this. I actually hate everything about this. But, I said I'd show my failures as well. So, here it is. I'm sure I would've loved this, if I would have used different colours. 
     Go check out Kristine, at Pink and Polish's version here! She did an amazing job! Absolutely gorgeous. The colours I used were the new Colour Club Winter Affair collection, and for the accent nails I used Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle White. I stamped them using Bundle Monster plate BM-323 with Sally Hansen Insta Dry Co-Bolt Blue.

Nails done on a friend! The purple is Colour Club Pucci-Licious and the pink is Sally Hansen Fuchsia Power. On top of the purple is Colour Club Snow-flakes which is a gorgeous holographic flakey. I stamped on top of the pink and purple with Sally Hansen Insta Dry Lightening next I put on the rhinestones and micro beads.
