Coffee Time!

I would like to show you this yummy coffee manicure that I wore a while ago, but didn't get a chance to post about until now. I'm hoping this coffee manicure will perk me up since I've been really tired lately...

This manicure started out with the OPI Liquid Sand It's All San Andreas's Fault. I stamped over it using Maybelline Bold Gold (70) and Pueen plates Pueen30 and Pueen32. The cup is stamped from plate 30 and the rest of the nails are stamped using plate 32. The pattern reminds me of cafe curtains and the dots just coordinate so perfectly with the dots on the cup. I added a bit of "steam" above the cup using that pattern as well.

I added a few gold stud accents to fit into the stamping pattern...

I really need to hide this gold polish from myself because I'm tempted to stamp EVERYTHING with it! I keep reaching for it every time and that's bad. OK, maybe not bad, but I do need to diversify. I just can't help it, gold looks great with everything... ;)

On a serious note... does this manicure make my fingers look fat? Maybe I put too much sugar in my coffee? ;)

Let me know what you think of this manicure! I love reading your comments! :)

Thanks for looking!

Pipe Dream Polish Time in a Tapestry...

Today I would like to show you some nail art with an indie beauty named Time in a Tapestry from Pipe Dream Polish. As I was going through my stamping plates and trying to pick out the perfect design to compliment the polish, there was one design that jumped out at me. I do believe this is the first manicure I've done that has been inspired by the polish logo...

To create this manicure, I started out with a base of three coats of Pipe Dream Polish Time in a Tapestry. You can see full swatches of it further down in the post...

I stamped the paisley print using Maybeline Bold Gold (70) and Cheeky XL plate "I"...

I love how the paisley print plays into the 'tapestry' part of the name. Using individual paisley images allowed me to create a different look on each nail and space the pattern out so that the polish still shows through...

I love the paisley P in the logo and how fun is it to have a matching pattern to stamp?...
They are like two P's in a pod... (so sorry for the pun, it is really late...)

Pipe Dream Polish Time in a Tapestry is a green jelly with a gold shimmer and loaded with gold, cooper and brown glitter. I needed three coats for full coverage. I suggest thin coats for easy application since thick coats can get goopy (yup, that's a very technical term here). There is lots of glitter in each brush stroke. It is so gorgeous and perfectly fitting to the name. Swatches are with a top coat...

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day...

I have another awareness manicure to share with you today. This is in support of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day which is today, October 15th. It is a cause that I was quite clueless about until recently when Wave of Polish began to share their stories and show their support on Instagram. Unlike other causes which aim to raise awareness and money for disease research, this aims to provide support to those who have lost a child. My heart goes out to anyone who has suffered such a loss and I would like show my support with this manicure...

For this manicure I created a gradient of OPI Pink Friday and Can't Find My Czechbook over a white base of SinfulColors Snow Me White. I painted the little footprints using Snow Me White. The pink and blue ribbon which is a the symbol for the cause is made out of heart shaped rhinestones. The hearts are meant to represent the love for all of the babies lost...

I had a bit of trouble applying a smooth layer of top coat over so many rhinestones which is why it bubbled...

For more information on this cause you can visit october15th.com who invite everyone to light at candle at 7pm their own time and create a wave of light across the world. Wave of Polish similarly invites everyone to post a pink and blue manicure and create a wave of polish...
