Enchanted to meet you Pink Wednesday

Inspired by Taylor Swift (yes for the second time this week!!) I am presenting my Enchanted to meet you mani. Josh and I had a cute conversation the other day, about the first time we met each other. It's an ironic story and I won't go into detail but basically we talked, for a long time, and I knew that I loved him after that very first conversation, and turns out he confessed to feeling the same. Ha! And I know it's true since he mentioned it first :)


Anyway, so I used 2 coats of Ulta's Material Girl, for my accent finger, I used one coat of CG Snow Cap-because it's sparkley and pretty. I topped my mani off with 2 coats of SV. The Ulta polish is extremely glittery and I like that about it. It's very feminine, but also professional. I give this polish a thumbs up!
In closing, I love this mani I think it looks super cute. This was my first time using my Ulta polish and it was a little bit thick, and a bit messy because of it.

How to: Stamp your nails

By reader request :) A quick picture tutorial on how to stamp your nails. Woohoo! So, first I put on 3 coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White.
I know its a little sloppy, but stamping in itself is a messy process :)
So, pick out the plate you'd like to use! I use Bundle Monster plates, and my Konad stamping system. Pictured above is the polish I chose to use for the stamping, my stamping plate, my stamper and my scrapper.
Step 1) cover the stamp you pick with your nail polish choice, it's generally best to use a deep opaque color that shows up vividly in one coat. I used Essence Just Rock it!
Using your scrapper, scrape off the nail polish, so what remains of the polish is stuck in the stamping plate etching.
Immediately roll your stamper through the nail polish so it picks up the design.
Then, roll the stamp out on your nails.
and Ta-da!! perfectly manicured nails :) As you can see from the above picture the stamp tends to get on your fingers, but its easy to clean off with some polish remover or warm water :)
The aftermath of nail stamping :)
The finished product!!

Sugar Coated Pink Crackle

So, I was incredibly bored, which I was thoroughly enjoying (haha!) and couldn't decide how I wanted my nails to look :) I started off with two coats of OPI Princesses Rule! Which is a gorgeous powered pink sparkle polish, which was pretty...
....but I wasn't satisfied, so I then coated it with two coats of China Glaze White Cap which is an incredible iridescent sheer glitter...and still bored with the mani, I added OPI Black Shatter!
The winning trio!
