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 hereThere'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!

Colour Club Almost Valentines Day Nails!

Well! Wednesday is Valentines Day, as I'm sure you all know. Since It's only Monday, (ew) I have some nails that aren't Valentines themed, but could be if you wanted. haha. I hope everyone's Monday isn't too crappy and you all have a great week. Today is me and my boyfriend's 11th month aniversary! That's crazy in highschool years! Haha. Well, 
Enjoy! xx



The colours that I used were: Colour Club Chelsea Girl which is a really nice blue. It's pretty much the colour  blue that I think about when I think of blue. Does that make sense? Haha. China Glaze Elephant Walk which is a grey that I probably wouldn't have picked out myself, I got it from a friend. It does however, look a lot nicer on nails than in the bottle. Revlon Whimsical is a milky glitter. It took about 4 coats to get it to the transparency as it is here. 


The flower was bought off of ebay, and are a really nice light blue lily that fades into white near the top.


I used white acrylic paint for the letters and mixed it with a bit of Elephant Walk for the shadow.
