Nail Stamping

Hey everyone,

In my first post ever, I mentioned that I would like to write about nail stamping.  When I first got into doing my nails, I came across this Konad system, I ordered a plate, a special polish, and a stamp/scraper set.  I loved it, but I am really not one for placing orders online.  Shipping time is too long and S/H cost is too high.  So I set out to look where I can buy more plates in the city.  I wasn't having much luck, until randomly one day I went into Showcase, the "As Seen On TV" store in the mall, and I found a pack of about 20 plates.  They aren't Konad brand but they are the same thing.  You can create so many different looks and everyone will be amazed by the designs.  I won't post pics or go into much detail about how to do the stamping, because you can find that info just by googling it, but I will post pics of some of the designs I have done.  I don't have long nails at all, just to the end of my fingertips.

So here they are.  I have more pics, but they didn't turn out as well as these, so I will keep adding pics as time goes on.

Urban Decay Mariposa Palette Look #3

Hey guys,

I am so excited bc next week I am going to Vegas baby!  I have never been before and am really looking forward to all of the fun things there are to do there, minus the gambling.  So as I have began to pick out my outfits, I am also playing around with which makeup looks I will rock there.

In the series of Mariposa Palette Looks, this on will consist of a gold and purple, which in this palette are called Limelight (gold) and Rockstar (purple).  One thing I found with Limelight is that there seems to be some fallout.  I also rocked this look with demi lashes and black liner.  Hope you enjoy it.
