This is the 3rd mani from the Weekly Nail Art Challenge (#WNAC2015) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Festive.

This week's prompt is: Stars

I used Sinful Colors Purple Heart, Forever 21 Nail Color in Pewter, Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate BP 11, XL Jelly Stamper and cosmetic sponge.

How to get this look:

1. On index, middle and pinky nails paint 2 coats of Purple Heart and let dry
2. Place a couple drops of Pewter on stamping plate, scrape and pick up with stamper. Line up and place on nails
3. On ring finger and thumb paint 2 coats of pewter and let dry completely 
4. Using the cosmetic sponge, paint the edge of the sponge with purple heart and overlap slightly with the pewter polish
5. Dab sponge over the edge of the nail to create a gradient and let dry
6. Repeat painting polishes onto sponge and dabbing it over nail until happy with the gradient and let dry
7. Finish by topping all nails with top coat

I was pretty excited when I saw this weeks theme was stars because I've been dying to try out this stamping plate. I wished it looked a bit more like the stars are jumping out at you but I have some ideas on how to get the look for that next time. 

Thanks for stopping by and please check back throughout
the week for more nail art and swatches!

Hey Guys!

I'm back with a quick post for nails that I did last month but never got around to posting(I know I'm a bad blogger). But any who, here is a swatch of Spitfire by Sinful Shine, its a light lilac color that is fully opaque in two thin coats and dries to a beautiful shine.

I decided to try out my new rectangle stamping plate that I got from Born Pretty Store, plate BP-L002. I love this plate! I really like the flowery/swirly designs.

Hey Guys!

My second Valentine's Day design I wanted to be a bit more sexy and seductive. So I tried to do peek-a-boo lace on top and heart tips on the accent nails. For my base I used Sinful Colors Ruby Glisten (a beautiful ruby colored jelly glitter) and stamped used WetnWild Black Creme and Born Pretty Store plate BP-02.

On my accent nails I used v-shaped nail sticker to make the top of the heart and then stamped the lace on the top section of the nail. I removed the sticker and painted the tip with Ruby Glisten, being careful to avoid the lace print. I topped everything with a quick dry top coat.

I really like the way the lace came out and I'm in love with Ruby Glisten, the shine on it is awesome! I wore my Peek-a-boo design for Valentines Day dinner out with my Hubby. I hope you guys like the looks and have a Happy Valentines Day!

Hey Guys! Today's nails of the day are painted with Milani's Bolting Blue, It's a vibrant shimmery cobalt blue. The formula is great and goes on smooth and dries fairly quick. I used two thin coats to get the polish to full opacity.

So with such a stunning background, I decided I had to add some nail art and try out one of my new Born Pretty stamping plates. I used Born Pretty plate BP05 and stamped with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Celeb City.

I'm absolutely in love with color and I couldn't stop staring at my nails! It's definitely on the top of the list for favorite blues and even better it was only a buck from Dollar Tree. I also really like the stamping plate, the designs on this one are beautiful and they also picked up really easy(even when using regular polish). I hope you liked the final look!

What's your favorite shade of blue?
