When I think “dark” polish, I think “vampy” and go straight to my highly-treasured Nfu-Oh Nfu 51 flakies polish. I do not use this polish nearly enough but maybe that is a good thing since it was discontinued from the Nfu Oh website. I snagged a bottle and still consider it one of my best nail polish purchases ever.

Ever.

The colors can look completely different based on lighting. I posted two pictures from today’s manicure, on Instagram, and they both look totally different. You have to love flakies!

I hope you like my creation today…The first picture is for the SIMPLEs challenge (different size dots) and the second is for the OMD2 challenge. When I think of flakies polishes I also think fairy tales and fantasy so I was thrilled to see a unicorn stamp in my collection.

I love the asymmetrical dotticure. It looks fun and does not require the upmost precision! Polka dots can be very RA-friendly.

I tried to go for a whimsical fairy-tale kind of look with dark forest-y colors. I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Wet n Wild Blue Moon, 1 coat of butter London Knackered, and 1 coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights as my base.

I detailed with Sephora by OPI Domestic Goddess and Ms. Can’t Be Wrong.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 302 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

We all know I love the little devil stamp but I already used it so I decided to go with the bat blood drip!

I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I sponged the gradient with butter London Cotton Buds, Sephora by OPI Metro Chic and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 301 and Konad Special Polish Red.

I am finally getting around to the NAIL themes this month! I was kind of scared to do the first week because I have never attempted a leopard print.

I like how the ring finger came out but the other nails look a little crowded. I definitely need more practice.

Let me know what you think! What should I do differently? Any tips or tricks?

 

ImageI used 2 coats of SpaRitual Running with Wolves and 1 coat of butter London Hen Party as my base.

I detailed with Urban Outfitters Westside, Color Club Wham! Pow!, China Glaze Fuchsia and Milani Black Swift.

I love sparkly things. I am kind of like a puppy, in that respect. It is funny, though, I own quite a few glitter polishes but I very rarely wear them. As a friend says, I really just like looking at them.

I hope you like my sparkly manicure for today’s Bundle Monster prompt!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Milani Swift Black and 1 coat of butter London The Black Knight as my base. I used 2 coats of Essie On a Silver Platter as the accent.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 311, Konad Special Polish Gold and Milani Black Swift (not bad if you work fast!)

Eh, I am not too thrilled about this manicure. When I saw the prompt I thought sugar-spin, but I could not find a stamp that really encompassed “icing”. And of course, I ended up covering most of the stamp!

For whatever reason, there has been a huge insurgence of this nasty blue frosting on cakes. I think kids like it because of the color. It is the nastiest tasting, most staining frosting I have ever seen. It is the greatest shade of blue though — something about a food that color screams “danger!” for the stomach! Hehehe…

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Milani Dark Coffee, Gems and 1 coat of butter London Hen Party as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plates BM 308, 318 and Konad Special Polish White.

I sugar-spun with Color Club Almost Famous! and Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot (I kid you not, this is the exact color of that popular frosting!)

I need to stop using this base color! It really does not do anything for my skin tone but I reach for it every time! I am finally getting the hang of this water marble thing and my designs actually look like true water-marbles! Now, if I could only re-create the same look for each nail…

 

ImageI used 2 coats of butter London Tea with the Queen as my base.

I marbled with Orly Bonder, China Glaze Fuchsia, and Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot.
