13- animal print. [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Hello.. My animal print is stamped using the snake skin BM image for day 13 in the fabulous [30 day challenge/ untrieds]

Base polish: essence: Seasons of extreme- my best nude friends and me
Stamping polish: essence- in style
Image plate: BM215

The essence was nice to stamp with. In the sun it reflected and made me stare at it a while, contrasted with the fairly plain base. The base colour did have a little shimmer. I tried to capture that in the first pic below.

Jam packed with Pics: my busy week in polish

Hello.. Hope your week is great.

My new pretty polishes are from Australis, I picked up 2 of the "fairy bread" multicolored glitter from Priceline, for the snazzy price of 2 for $10 instead of their usual $7.95 each.
I liked this glitter as it has different sizes and colors to mix and match with many base coats for different occasions.

Base polish is a pink Franken, I made it for a friend as as a dupe for a Rimmel fuchsia polish I gave to my sister..

~My version of Revlon's whimsical but with less pink glitter was mixed with and layered over ulta3- eggshell. From faraway it looks like speckled blue eggs, but it shines nicely in the sun, the only downside to my creation was that once the polishes were mixed to create the franken the glitter settled to the bottom of my bottle. It's going to need a good shake to use it again.

2011 Nail designs retrospective.. PART 3..

I was stalking the forums looking for ideas for nail designs when I came across the wonderful vogue forums, with a thread dedicated to ulta3 nail polish.

I went to the Warehouse Sale in April 2011 and purchased other beauty stuff, but my faves are the Ulta3 nail polishes I stocked up on.

18 nail polishes all up- 1 ulta3 was for free with voucher, 1 covergirl brand, 2 silver nail art, 2 pink nail art.
so in total 13 ulta3 polishes.
the colours were a bit, blah, but cause they were discontinued or left over stock I thought I should grab them while they were still available.

The week later I also went to my local Terry White chemist to stock up on these snazzy looking ulta3 polishes-- bargain price of $2 each..

 

you want to see a nail design using the ulta polish?
Here it goes..

Base polish: ulta3 twilight fever

Stamping polish: TBN silver

image plate: BM20 (ferny design)

-- with the top coat, it was so hard for me to capture the true beautiful shimmer colours in the base polish.

Base polish: ulta3 blossom fever

Stamping polish: konad pastel blue

image plate: BM16 (zebra print)

-- I loved the base polish, it also had a beautiful shimmer to it (red), but the nail design reminded me of blue vein cheese- I also think I had it stamped on upside down?

The blossom fever is much the same colour as the ulta3 i also have in baby pink.

The slight differences are the shimmers, with blossom fever having the red and baby pink having a whitish pearl shimmer.

Both lovely and both different :)

This is of ulta3 twilight fever again. bad camera- sorry you can barely tell.

Base polish: ulta3 twilight fever

Stamping polish: konad white

image plate:BM05 (thumb), BM18 (tips)

-- This is a bit of a dodgy job on the tips- still practising?- but i love the thumb design.
