Playing catch up and finally posting the picture but here is my submission for the third November NAIL theme.
I really love how this came out! It zips me away to a warmer place!
I was feeling a tropical theme so I used 2 coats of Essie Naughty Nautical as my base.
I stamped with Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas and Bundle Monster plates BM 310, 314, and 318.
I stamped the flying animals with Essie No Place Like Chrome and Bundle Monster plate BM 303, 313, and 315.

I played around with the waterfall technique and they looked like feathers so I decided to submit it for the Link-Up!
I especially like how the pinky came out!
I used 2 coats of butter London Tea with the Queen for the base.

I really wanted to practice my stamping. When I first started doing it I was just awful at it so I put it to the side for a while. I think stamping is so versatile and I know I need to get better at it.
I think the “Picasso Swirl” technique is just so fun. I tried two different looks in this manicure. The first I just swirled each color separately and the second I mixed the colors a little more.
I didn’t notice the line on my index nail until the polishes had dried. I thought there was a scratch on the plate…Nope, it was a little piece of cat hair!
I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “White On” as my base. Any suggestions on a better good white?
For the stamping, I used Bundle Monster plate “BM 306” and Wet n Wild “Black Creme”.
For the swirl, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “White On”, and Color Club “Almost Famous”, “Wham! Pow!”.

My pets make the most noise during the night. For nocturnal beings, they have the worst eye-sight and tend to bump into everything! They are such weirdos. They drown out all other noises!
I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “White On”, Sephora by OPI “Go My Own Way” and “Cab Fare“ as my bases for this manicure.
I really like how Essie “No Place Like Chrome” stamps. It’s really opaque. I have to let it dry a little on the stamping plate though because it is awfully slippery. I also used Milani “Dark Coffee” for stamping. I used Bundle Monsters plate “BM 316” and “BM 323”.
For the marble I used Sephora by OPI “Go My Own Way”, Urban Outfitters “Blue Velvet”, and Essie “No Place Like Chrome”.
