I Love Lumina Lacquer!

I recently bought Lumina Lacquer's Crushing Candy from the lovely Tatiana.  I could not decide on undies. I thought about it for days. I went back and forth and kept changing my mind.  Sparkly Vernis was visiting me and I asked her advice on how to best show off this beautiful polish and she came up with what became one of my favorite combos! See below for pictures :)

Las Vegas Mani

I am guilty of another long pause between posts. This time it wasn't because I was being lazy, unfortunately. I had to head over to Las Vegas for some family stuff. It was a downer BUT I did have beautiful nails to stare at in the hot Vegas sun!  I was wearing Nail Nation 3000 Max-a-Million with Enchanted Polish Seven Nation Army.  I had applied this polish on Sunday and by the time I got home on Friday, I only had one chip and that was my fault by mishandling my baggage on the airplane.   I really loved this manicure and I hope you do too!

Stamping, a work in progress

Here are my experiments with stamping... I feel that each time I'm getting a little bit better at it, but I'm still having problem areas that I try not to show in the picture! 
If anyone has any stamping tips, I'm all ears!

First time sponge gradient & stamping

Second stamping with I'm Kind of A Big Deal

Third attempt with Electric Feel

Fourth attempt with Shrimp Cocktail

Stamping is fun and I'm determined to nail it. One of these days :)

Enchanted Polish Future Reflections

Sorry I've been MIA with the blog... I've been practicing stamping. It's coming along better than I expected but I still have not mastered it.  My biggest problem is getting the image to appear on the entire nail.  When the image is left off on the bottom or top of my nails, or even on the sides I'll try to fix it with the stamper only making it look worse.  I've been all involved with that and I haven't been updating here.  But, I'll make up for it now with some pictures of another gorgeous polish from Enchanted.  This one is also from the Time to Pretend collection and it's called Future Reflections.
