I hope you like my green ombre nails for the OMD2 challenge!
From pinky to ring finger: Revlon Gel Envy High Stakes, Deborah Lippmann Defying Gravity, Milani Mint Chip, Sephora by OPI It’s Totally Karma.
I stamped the decal with Konad Special Polish Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 303. I used a dotting tool, Milani Mint Chip, Formula X for Sephora Thrilling to fill in the empty spaces straight onto the stamper. I used Seche Vite to seal in the design.

China Glaze, Deborah Lippmann, freehand, Nail Art, Oh Mon Dieu challenge, Pop Beauty, Revlon, Serum No 5, sugar-spun
During the Bundle Monster challenge, I played with sugar-spun and glitter. I thought it came out really well so I re-visited them for this prompt as well.
I hope you like it! I think it’s fun and bright. It reminds me of cake frosting!
I used Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot and China Glaze Purple Panic as my base.
I sugar-spun with Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen and added glitter with Serum No. 5 Happy Special Day and Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday!

I do not own a single jelly! I need to change this. The closest I have is a recent Revlon Gel Envy purchase. Why it is close? Because it has “gel” in the name. Gel is short for Jelly, right??
It is not a jelly but dries to a springy finish. I love describing things as “springy” or “spongy” because it makes everything a little more fun.
I also used a polish with “Jelly” in the name. This all counts towards the prompt, right? I say yes, in a weird twist five times around kind of way!
I hope you like it. I have been in a stamping mood so I layered a couple of this manicure.
I used 2 coats of Revlon Gel Envy High Stakes as my base. Revlon polishes are hit or miss with me but this polish is definitely a hit. The formula is good and the color is gorgeous.
I stamped with MoYou London plate 03 (Scholar collection), Pretty Jelly Plum in Love and Essie No Place Like Chrome. Both polishes stamped really well!

What better way to celebrate pearls than to use one of my favorite Chanel polishes? Coco Chanel popularized the pearl in fashion and since then has been held in high regard throughout the fashion world. One strand of pearls can elevate any look to chic (well, almost!)
I hope you like my submission for the second week of June’s NAIL. I could not get the stamp to transfer properly! I tried it a couple of times and I used my “pearl” drops to mask the poor stamping…hehehe.
I used 2 coats of Chanel Les Vernis Peridot as my base.
I stamped with Konad Special Polish Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.
I detailed with Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen.

American Apparel, Bundle Monster, Bundle Monster Turns 5 challenge, butter London, dotticure, freehand, Revlon, Rimmel London, stamping
I love parties and dancing, drinking, bright lights and staying up until dawn…until, the next morning! I still have very fond memories of the night before but they are accompanied with just as sorrowful hangovers and headaches…and the little voice that says “NEVER AGAIN!” Until the next weekend, of course 😉
I hope you like my interpretation for party animal…or the day after!
I used 1 coat of Milani Black Swift, 1 coat of butter London The Black Knight, and 1 coat of Julie G JetSet top coat as my base.
I dotted with American Apparel Neon Red, Neon Yellow and Rimmel London Reggae Splash (from the Kate Moss collection).
I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 305 and Konad Special Polish White.
I finished with 1 coat of Seche Vite and 1 coat of Revlon Celestial FX.

I was one of those kids who dislike cakes and cupcakes, just for the sheer fact they felt weird in my mouth. I always opted for ice cream cakes instead. I love ice cream!! Love it!!
Anyways!
I do love L-O-V-E looking at cupcakes. They are a really cute shape! There are so many varieties and flavors, in cake and frosting and even sprinkles. There are neverending possibilities!
If I am asked to choose one type of cupcake it would be the funfetti ones. There are so many pretty colors! My manicure was inspired by these colorful creations!
I hope you like it! (This was a difficult one to photograph, I think there were too many details and my camera did not know what to focus on!)
I started with 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.
I dotted with Color Club Mrs. Robinson, Milani Peacock, Sephora by OPI I Come In Peas and Deborah Lippman Popular (Wicked Collection).
Before the dots dried, I “saran-wrapped” with Julie G White Orchid and Sinful Colors Chick Chick.
I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 307.
I used the following polishes (from pinky to index finger) for the sugar-spun frosting:
I added crystal beads from the Martha Stewart crafts collection as sprinkles.
