Bond Paisley

I know, two posts in two days! Pretty good for me :) Anyways, along with having Christmas, I just had my birthday on December 19 (I'm 14; Older then most of my friends), and my little brother got me three polishes from the OPI Skyfall collection; Goldeneye, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Skyfall. This gift came with the sweetest store of my brother going into a salon (dun dun dun) and talking to the woman there (he's only 12, and this obviously took a lot of effort. He was very proud of himself). Also, for Christmas, I got a new Konad Stamper and the Bundle Monster Stamping Plates 2012 collection, so I was eager to try these out!

For the base I used two coats of Skyfall, then I stamped on the paisley print from BM-315 using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On.

Skyfall has a great formula; two coats and it's opaque. It's a red with purplish-brown undertones, and it's just one of those colours that's flattering on anyone and everyone. I really, really like it.

I LOVE this manicure. The stamping worked out, which of course made me SO ecstatic. It's always so upsetting when you are trying to stamp something and it just isn't cooperating. It's very pretty (and girly) and I will definitely be repeating it with other colours throughout time!

I took way too many pictures of this one, and I couldn't really narrow it down. Hehe. Whoops.

I'm very excited to try out some more of my Bundle Monster plates, I love them already! And I'll try to post more often like this, even though when dance starts back up....I can't promise anything.

Happy Early New Year!!!

Christmas Sweater Nails

Merry Christmas everyone! First off, let me start by just saying how sorry I am for not posting in over a month! I have been so busy with family, injuries, and DANCE. Sunday rehearsals start in January (yay....), so at that point I'll be dancing every day of the week.....wow....
Anyways, let's move on to the nails! I decided to try my hand at freehand nail art once again, and I decided to do Christmas sweater nails! I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Cherry Red for the base and white acrylic paint for the designs. (This was my first time working with acrylic paint; I think it went pretty well!)

Pardon the stupid huge air bubble on the first finger. I know, it annoyed me too.

I finally got a Konad Stamper and the entire Bundle Monster Stamping Plates 2012 pack (thanks Mom and Dad!), so hopefully I'll use those soon and post pictures. 

So what did you all get for Christmas? To sum mine up, I got a bunch of nail stuff, a bunch of Starkid stuff, and a bunch of other wonderfully random things. But hey, those are the best gifts. :)
