Aqua Blue Nails

Continuing with blue nails for Autism Awareness month. 

I've had this mani saved in archives since late last summer....it was a mani I done using a polish I had picked up while back to school shopping with my daughter; she was shopping clothes, I was shopping nail polish!  Seen this cool coloured polish at Bootlegger so bought it; this was the mani I came up using it. 

Started with a base of two coats of unnamed Kismet polish.  Beautiful colour...horrible formula.  Streaky mess.  This polish had random grit in it, resulting in bumps throughout.  Urrggg.  So disappointing. 

I had to layer it with something to try to salvage it with one of a few polishes on hand as I was away for the weekend...so added a coat of WnW Spontaneous Combustion and topped with SV.  I think the layering helped.  A bit.  I guess...

Decided to stamp it; I thought this turned out kinda cool...like stained glass...almost?  Maybe...(This mani was done around the time that my iPhone had to be reset and because I keep all my mani notes in it, the plate info was lost.  If I come across the plate info, I'll update the post.  Sorry.)

I'm not sure if you can tell, but I then fished out a few of the glitters from Spontaneous Combustion and used them to dot the centres of the flowers.  Topped with SV.

This was the big news I had back late summer when I had drafted this post...always a thrill to see see these type of milestones!  Even now to have over 1500 follows is exciting....so if you're a new follower since then...or have been following for a while now.....thanks for stopping by and checking out my little blog!  I know I don't share much about my life....have no funny antidotes or clever writing to go along with my pix...and there are many times that my cuticles are less then stellar, hang nails are common, clean up not the best and sometimes the lighting is off...(I'm surprised I have any followers sometimes! lol!)....my blog is usually pretty minimal with just lots of pix of a mani from start to finish with some rambling in between (OK, I know I do tend to be a little wordy so probably lots of rambling in between is more accurate!)....so thanks for stopping by!

A surprise giveaway for anyone who has checked out the post this far!  Dashica has released some new plates and because I'm in a rambling mood, and to say thanks to everyone who happen to read this far, I'm placing an order of the new plates as they just previewed at Dashica this week. I'm going to do an impromptu giveaway right now for anyone who comments on this post only over the next 48 hours.  The prize will be your choice of 3 of the Dash plates (these are the small rectangular plates...and you can pick any three from no. 1 to 40 in case you want one of the previously released ones)...I'll add the winners 3 picks to my order; and will ship to you when I've received them from Dashica.  I'll cut off the entries 48 hours from the time I publish this post. You can see the plates here and just note in the comment section of this post your GFC follower name, your choice of the 3 Dash plates and an email address for contact purposes. Open internationally, see Giveaway Policy for any further details. This giveaway is sponsored by me!

This is simply a thank you for those that regularly take the time to check out my blog! I do appreciate it!

Have a great weekend.....and thanks for looking!

Stamping Polish Comparisons

As happy as I am with the stamping results using Konad black special polish, I'm not generally happy with the cleanup, which is rarely 100% plus it has a tendency to drag probably more than any of the other Konad polishes. I've been wondering if there are other black polishes that work well for stamping. I took note of various comments on my blog (thanks Bunny Nails for mentioning KleanColor because I never would have thought about this one!) as well as seen what some others were using for stamping polishes; either swapped or bought them and decided to see if there was an alternative to Konad.



For this comparison, I used (left to right below) black Konad special polish, KleanColor Black, Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris, FingerPaints Black Expressionism and Essence Stamping polish.



For this stamping experiment, I used FingerPaints Blue Raspberry Taffy (blue) and Misa Without Airs Orange (orange) as the base. Initially, I was planning to do an Aztec theme but when I discovered that the Misa had a shimmer, I wasn't too keen on finishing it for some reason....this is why the plates you're going to see are Aztec themed for the stamping comparison as I already had them picked out for the mani! This is two coats of FingerPaints Blue Raspberry Taffy from their Gumdrops and Lollipops collection and three of Misa Without Airs Orange. (As a side note, I did have skin staining with Blue Raspberry Taffy; if you decide to pick it up, you may wish to be careful with removal.)



Stamped images in same order; starting at thumb: black Konad special polish (Big SdP C), KleanColor Black (Big SdP C), Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris (Big SdP B), FingerPaints Black Expressionism (Big SdP F) and Essence Stamping polish (XL A)...in hindsight, I guess the fairest comparison would have been using all the same image plate...unfortunately, I didn't think of this at the time!



So you could see how dark the stamping polish is, I purposely left it without cleanup. I also wanted to apply the topcoat fairly fast to see if there was any topcoat drag so didn't want to take the time for cleanup at this point to see if they did drag while relatively wet...the only delay was the time taken to snap a couple pictures. I used SV, which is the topcoat I use 99% of the time. Pix below is with topcoat.



I didn't see any visible signs of SV drag on any nails.

The above pictures are on my left hand; on my right hand, I alternated the base colours but kept the stamping colours in the same order, just to see if there was any stamping colour difference, but the results appear to be consistent with the left (ie WnW is still faint).



These are my comments/observations generally on all the polishes I tried:

Konad: I generally buy Konad online for $6.99 as it is $10-$12 at local stores; however, its not that handy for me to buy (flea markets in other towns). Stamping results: Konad stamped crisp, clear and the darkest image of all polishes tested. Cleanup: While it seems I didn't do too bad of a job clean up in this pix and there doesn't seem to be any leftover residue of stamping polish on the skin, I know this always isn't the case from past results as sometimes no matter how much time I spend with clean it up, it stays in the small fine lines in my skin...it also took the most amount of time to clean up in this pix but at least it cleaned up well! Drag: no visible drag in this test (but prone to drag from past experience). I usually wait a bit before topping with SV to ensure stamping polish is good and dry before applying SV to hope to eliminate drag...but even then, sometimes it happens!

KleanColor: Pricing was $2 in my area for a bottle. Availability: There's only two stores that sell KC in my area; the one didn't have KC black in stock; second one did and its pretty close to my house. I'm guessing KC should be found easily online too at reasonable pricing if needed. Stamping results: Stamped dark and fairly crisp, just a smidgen less in darkness and crispness than Konad. Cleanup: No issues at all with cleanup. Drag: No issues with drag. (Additional comments: I wonder if the bottle was left with the lid off for a bit if the polish would thicken to see if stamping results would be better? Because this polish is thinner than Konad, slightly better results may be achieved if it sits on the plate momentarily to dry which sometimes helps with better stamping results. Also, would like to monitor for SV drag because it would be a great plus not to have to worry about drag when applying the topcoat. I also have to recognize that while there is missing pieces of the stamped image on my finger, this may be the design plate and not to say I wouldn't have the same results with Konad as it happens with Konad polish too...sometimes this is remedied by just scraping side to side or down to up.)

Wet n Wild: Pricing was $1.49 for a bottle. Availability: locally sold at Walmart; lots in stock. Stamping results: Stamped the faintest of all polishes; wasn't even dark. Cleanup: No issues at all. Drag: No issues with drag. Additional comments: I have to say I was surprised the most with the results...or lack thereof...from this polish as I've read so often about gals using this for stamping polish but the stamped image is not very dark at all. Terrible brush; wouldn't even want to use this polish as a base polish. Maybe if I need a black to ever franken with I might use this polish. This would be my last choice ever because its just not a good dark stamped image. In fact, if this was my go to black stamping polish...I'd pick another stamping colour.

FingerPaints: Pricing was $5.99 for a bottle (slightly less with Sally's card). Availability: locally sold at Sally's; part of core line; usually in stock. Stamping results: fairly faint for a black but passable. Cleanup; no issues at all. Drag: No issues with drag. Additional comments: Wild card here; I actually bought this as an alternative to black base for manis as I heard it was a one coater and was pleasantly surprised that it stamped OK....maybe a good polish to take on holiday as serves two purposes for base and stamping! On the thin side; maybe another polish to try again if the lid is left off to let it thicken again? The stamped image shadowed which is because its a thinner polish; may be remedied by the polish sitting a bit on the image plate before scraping which sometimes helps.

Essence Stamping Polish: I don't actually know pricing as I received this in a swap. Availability: Not available in my area at all. Stamping results: OK for a fairly thin polish; not as good as Konad or KC. Cleanup: no issues at all. Drag: no issues with drag. Additional comments: Surprised it stamped so dark given that it is a fairly thin polish. Small sized bottle. Probably will never have another bottle as not available in my area at all so probably out of luck once this bottle runs out!



Results? I guess it will depend if stamped image is more important or the cost of the stamping polish! I think that based upon stamping results, availability, pricing, quality of stamping image, etc, the best overall polish would be KleanColor Black....that being said, I'll probably stick to Konad strictly because personally, I'd rather pay the extra and order online for the crisp clear stamping results of Konad! Also, while Konad cleanup takes longer and sometimes stays visible in my clean up pix, keep in mind that this isn't nearly as visible to the human eye as people aren't looking at your nails in macro view and immediately after stamping! As I take these pix mainly late at night, by the time I shower the next morning, there's little stamping polish left visible. All this being said, and as this is the first and only time I've used KleanColor to stamp, I'm going to use it more for stamping to get a good feel with how it stamps...because its available locally and less than a third of the price of Konad...and if I can get it to stamp well and it has no drag, it may be my next go to stamping polish...unless I find something better in the next round of comparison stamping that is!

Have you tried these polishes? Are your results the same or not? Just curious.....its always interesting to hear what others think...just like one person may prefer Poshe topcoat and the next SV if you know what I mean! Do you use any of these for stamping? If not, do you have any other suggestions? There's still a few black polishes I've yet to compare being Beautiful Scratchers black, Sally Hansen Black Out, Wet n Wild Black Creme and CND Blackjack. I think Fab Ur Nails also has a black stamping polish; I'm probably going to order it too whenever I get around to placing my order as I want to try a few of those stamping polishes.

I have a few different white polishes to try as well; KleanColor white, Sally Hansen White Out, Beautiful Scratchers white, Essence stampy white polish...do you know of any others that work well and may be an alternative to Konad? I'd love to know your thoughts!

Thanks for looking!

Playing with Old Dusty Polishes

I'm sure you're tired of me commenting how I'm getting more into layering recently...and trying to combine a cool layering combination with some interesting stamping. So not too long ago, I spent a bit of time (who am I kidding...a lot of time!) in one of my local dusties riffling through the bins looking for polishes that I thought could be interesting for layering. This is the result of a few of my finds.



I'm not a terribly creative or visual person; I can't look at polishes and think, well this will look cool with that on top...my brain just doesn't see those unique layering possibilities...so I spent a couple of hours...yes, hours...at the store, picking up the polishes, shaking them up, tilting them, looking at them in different angles and lighting...I'm sure the sales ladies thought I was a little kooky! Good thing it was a place that I frequent often and they know me well as 'that polish lady'...nothing annoys me more then when I'm hurried along in my polish shopping when looking at polishes...typically the smaller beauty shop supply places that watch over me when I'm in the store like I'm a shoplifter...I hate that!

Anyway, these were a few of my purchases....blah in a bottle I tell you!




And my experimenting when I got home. Um, I guess I bought quite a few bottles, eh? Lol!





All I can say is thank goodness these look so blah in the bottle...which I'm sure is why these older polishes are so plentiful in my area...because I'm sure if everyone could visualize their gorgeousness when layered, everyone would have snatched them up already! I'm not sure how well you can see this, but if you look in the very far left hand corner, you'll see my swatch of a cool, glitter polish I found with diamond shaped glitter in it...it was terribly goopy and thick when I bought it, but came back nicely with some thinner. I've yet to use it on a mani though.

After I finished playing with them and decided which polishes to use, I started my mani using one coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme.



Did the layering using the selected dusty polishes.



Bottle pix of the polishes I used for this mani. A couple of these had more colour than the rest of the blah in a bottle ones, but they were too sheer for my liking without doing a lot of coats, which is why I picked them up for layering. These are the five bottles I used for my mani; the first one is on the middle finger (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Lemon Lime), the second on the thumb (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Hot Magenta), the third on the pinky (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nylon, Balance Fr., colour #4363-12; has a 12 on the top of the lid), fourth on index (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails New Lengths Ceramics, Sheer Glisten, colour no. 6212-01 and has a 01 on top of lid) and the last one was on the ring finger (Rimmell 60 Seconds, Pulsating)**.



Then stamped using Black Konad special polishes with QA 17.


I'm not sure if you can see this well, but the stamping polish kinda shrunk and cracked after I stamped on the middle finger, which you can see in the above pix right at the tip. But I just touched it up with a bit of polish and you can't even tell in the pix below.



So simple and cool....I can't wait to try out more of these dusty finds including seeing how they look over colours other than black!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the Year of The Dragon!



This is the mani I had on yesterday.



Started with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme and accent finger of Duri Taming of the Shrew.



Added coat of Essie As Gold as it Gets.



As I wanted the gold flakies to stand out, I decided to add a coat of Essie Matte About You. Really liked the end result on the accent nail; will have to keep this in mind for another mani! I applied Essie Gold About You on my middle finger first; unfortunately, it was really goopy and I applied it too thick, which can really be seen in this pix after it was mattified.



Then stamped, using black Konad special polish and CND Gold Chrome using fauxnad m27. When I was looking through my plates, I was surprised that there were so many dragon images...but thought that this one was the most appropriate. In hindsight, I think I should have stamped the images sideways like on the thumb as the dragon was too long for the width of my nails and I cut the tail off most of the images...some of the stamps kinda look like wolves now! lol!



Added a few accent symbols...unfortunately, I don't know what they say so take them with a grain of salt! And that blob on the middle finger is suppose to be a fan; however, it didn't transfer too well. I couldn't remove it and redo as my nails were mattified.



After looking at my mani for a bit, I decided that I ultimately wanted to add a topcoat so topped with a coat of SV. I'm glad I did because I liked the result better than left at matte.



Lastly, I woke up Saturday morning to see this:



Thanks so much for making this happen! I never thought in a million years that a 1000 people would ever want to check out my little blog!

Have a great New Year if you are celebrating today...and if not, I hope you enjoy my mani anyway!

Thanks for looking!

Edited to reflect that I forgot to add CND Gold Chrome polish.

Happy New Year's Eve!!

This is my New Year's Eve mani.



Wayyyy more exciting than my plans...sitting home with the hubs watching tv.

Started with two coats of Wet n Wild Black Creme. One coat is pretty opaque but I find for me that two evens it out a little better.



Stamped using China Glaze IDK using fauxnad image plates QA 17 (random stars on accent finger) and QA 18 (full size image of stars on rest of fingers).



I learned about these plates after either seeing KD image plates on Spellbinding's blog or getting an email from SarahLouise...can't remember now! The KD image plate seller had a few of the QA plates but when I was surfing ebay, I seen another seller more local (US) AND for a better price selling the whole set so ultimately, after asking if the seller would ship to me in Canada, I ended up buying them from here **. If you go to the bottom of the listing, you'll see better pix of all the plates. I've used these QA plates a few times since I got them (maybe five plates now) and any I've used work well. I picked up the XL K plate as well. I believe the listing indicates that there is no international shipping; however, I emailed and asked anyway...no harm in asking is always my motto! The seller agreed and for a reasonable price (under $6 I think). When I emailed back saying my order had arrived safe and sound, the seller replied indicating that international shipping will be considered if requested.



The plastic covering on these plates is a breeze to remove as well. The other great thing about this ebay seller is that they also have 20 of the A series image plates for $45. I think of how much I paid for them when they were only available from Europe...ouch!

This is how my package arrived...super cute eh? The seller even sent a couple extra image plates and stickers!





Have a fantastic New Year's Eve...regardless if you are like me and staying in or out revelling in the New Year!

All the best to you in 2012!!!

Halloween Mani Using Plates from Giveaway!

As you may recall, my recent giveaway includes five image plates provided by Beautiful Scratchers (BS). This is an unposted mani I did at Halloween using S8 from the plates.



While I had emailed Beautiful Scratchers to buy them, as they are a local GTA company in my area, Jenna delivered a set of them to my office along with some new metallic polishes that I had seen on her esite. When we met, she was good enough to offer a set of her new image plates as a giveaway for my blog so this is why I'm able to offer them as part of the giveaway!



From what I gathered in our conversation, Jenna actually created these stamping plates - you will not find these exact designs on any other plates or be able to buy any place other than Beautiful Scratchers. I acknowledge though that there are similar designs (ie more than one pumpkin or Hello Kitty image out there!)



Jenna has also created a whole bunch of stamping polishes. I found her company about two or more years now while surfing ebay looking for alternatives to Konad special polishes (they too expensive, frustrated as some didn't stamp well as well as looking for more colour options). This was well before I started blogging or even surfing the net for stamping sites. I guess I wasn't smart or creative enough to realize that other polishes might well for stamping!



Since that day a few years ago, Jenna and I have met up a few times as I've bought more of her products. I've also been lucky enough to get samples here and there of new colours she had been working on developing (like the hot pink which stamps well, unlike Konad's hot pink, which is why I just bought a full size bottle). I always adore meeting up with Jenna as its great to speak to someone in real life who has a passion about stamping like me!



The polishes that I used for this mani are Wet n Wild Black Creme (thumb), Icing The Golden Age of Glitter (on black base); Revlon Alluring Amber (orange base); Icing Pumpkin (orange glitter on orange base), Misa Green with Envy (green base); Misa Disco Green (green glitter on green base), CND Eclectic Purple (purple base), Claire's Diva Purple (purple glitter on purple base) Wet n Wild Red (red base), Generation Red glitter (glitter on red base). Stamped using BS IP S8 using Black Konad special polish and Nicole by OPI Positive Energy.

My giveaway is here. This image plate as well as the rest of the Beautiful Scratchers plates and polishes can be seen here. I again acknowledge and thank Beautiful Scratchers for donating this as a prize for my giveaway!

Thanks for looking!

New Red Angel Plates!

I was surfing through Amazon a couple weeks ago and stumbled upon Red Angel stamping plates here. While I loved the designs, their website indicated that they only ship to the US. I emailed them anyway and asked them if they would ship internationally but they emailed me back indicated that they only ship to the US.

The thought that new image plates existed and I couldn't get them was driving me crazy!!! Not to be defeated, I emailed them again, begging them (I think the word I used in my email was grovelling!) to ship internationally being the nail fanatic that I am! I happened to mention that I wanted two sets of image plates, one for moi and the other for a giveaway for my blog. They emailed me back, thanking for my interest in their image plates and that they had set up an international shipping option just for me! (Well, I'm sure it was for me and everyyyyonnnnneeeee else that I knew who would will want to order them!). So international gals, if you are ordering these plates, you have me to thank! They also asked for some pix of my stamping for their Amazon site, so you may see my nails up there...they have my permission! I felt it was the least I could do after they relented and decided to ship to me...and anyone else who is international!

My plates arrived on Monday and since then, I've done a little sampling. Here's a couple manis I came up with.



While I would generally post a few pix of the mani in progress, I think this post is going to be long enough! The base colours used were OPI Bride's Bouquet, WnW Black Creme and OPI Don't Know...Beets Me. Stamped using Konad white and black special polishes using IP RA -13 and RA-109.

I did this mani last night using the Red Angels plates. I call this Dancing Fairies in The Grass! (I wish there were two more fairy images so there'd be one for each finger! Could probably take from other series plates for the next time.)



Base is OPI Sapphires in the Snow, tips are Orly Prisma Gloss Gold and Nubar Golden Glow, using image Plates RA-111, RA-112 and RA-113, stamping polish is CDN Gold Chrome.


The fairy on the pinkie finger isn't too obvious so here's another pix so you can see it does stamp well.


And a couple more images to share regarding the plates. The images are the same size as Bundle Monster as you can see here.



I guess I've been a little spoiled with A series, SdP series, H series, etc but these images don't quite fit length wise on my nails nor width on my thumb (but I kinda posed my thumb so you can't tell!)as you can see here. But they are a smidgen bigger than Konad full size images.




Here's a pix comparing all the plates for size wise.



The plates starting from left are SdP, Bundle Monster, Red Angel, Konad and one from H series.



This image, left to right, shows SdP, Bundle Monster and Red Angel.

So far, I've probably sampled 10 image plates and haven't had an issue with any of the images. Good news too...the plastic is a breeze to peel off! You may recognize some of the images from other image plates but there are plenty of new designs for old die hard stamping addicts like me! After I did some sampling, I emailed them yesterday with a couple suggestions if they were to consider doing any more image plates. One was to make the full size images slightly larger as I did have issue getting them to fit on my nail (and I have small nails both in width and length). The second was to re-evaluate their international shipping rates for anyone who may be wanting to order. They emailed me back promptly, thanking me for the suggestions, adding that they will consider both of these suggestions at an upcoming company meeting.

Red Angel image plates are available via Amazon here. A 21 set of image plates retail for $11.99 USD and if you live in the US, shipping is $3.99. (I seriously cannot believe that 21 plates are available for $16!) If you are international like me, even paying the $15.99 shipping rate, the total is still close to the same price of Bundle Monster image plates when you tally in shipping, or less than the price of 5 (or less) Konad plates. This set is fantastic if you want to see if you want to start stamping as the initial investment isn't that high if you decide that ultimately stamping isn't your thing, or fantastic for someone like me who's always on the lookout for new stamping plates-it's an all around win-win situation for anyone interested in stamping!

I seem to have mentioned that I bought a second set of plates** for a giveaway.....watch my next post for the details!

Thanks for looking!

**Please note that I paid the retail price for both sets of these plates including those being offered in CNF's giveaway. While I did a lot of grovelling to get them, I'm not affiliated with Red Angel in any manner!

Edit: January 18, 2012: I've been contacted and told that that Red Angel plates are no longer shipping internationally. I went online to Amazon and seen that the international shipping option was removed; I also email them and unfortunately, they confirm that they are no longer shipping internationally.

This is terrible news if you happen to live outside of USA...I've also read that since the initial release of the plates, the fairy wings have been removed off the fairies, some of the plate designs have changed and heard about stamping issues with some plates.

I sure hope for all of us stampers that they get their issues sorted out regarding the plates....so we can hopefully one day see some new designs from them (I'm guessing from their FB page that they planned on doing this at least at some point because new plate designs are alluded to) and start shipping internationally again!

I'll update the post if there are any change of events I become aware of!

My Weekend Mani....

This is a very simple mani I did Friday night and am still wearing it today!



It's too bad that my camera can't capture this mani well but hopefully, you get the jest of what it looks like.

Started with two coats of WetnWild Black Creme.



Stamped using SdP 6 using Nicole by OPI Give Me the 1st Dance. I think my camera has a hard time focusing on the sparkly glow of this polish.



I used this SdP 6 image plate about a month ago on this mani.



Started with two coats of Borghese Castello Blue. I have to thank my friend KarenD over at Frazzle and Aniploish for tracking down this polish for me. By the time I decided I *needed* it, it was gone from my area; however, lucky for me, KarenD kindly tracked down a bottle.



Added a coat of Faces 299. I was going for a icy look as the image on SdP 6 kinda looks like snowflakes to me.....don't know if I achieved it.



Then stamped using SdP 6. Nicole by OPI Give Me the 1st Dance is on my fingers and Nicole by OPI Positive Energy was used on the thumb. While it had a sharper stamped image, I was going for a frosty ice look but just wanted to see how it looked using the different polish.



Hope you had a great weekend; thanks for looking!
