Peace Baby - It's a Zebra....

30 MARCH 2011 

I thought I would have another go at stamping.  I always though manage to mess up a nail or two, and this time was no exception.  Me thinks I need to practice more!!  But still, I was happy'ish with the overall result.  The kids at school certainly like my zebra nails as did the lady at checkout at sainsbury's.  I used for the base colour Peace Baby - OPI, this is three coats and it took so long to dry and still had some bald patches.  But since I was going to stamp on them I didn't think it would matter too much.  The black used is Black by Honeypot and the image plate is Konad M57.  Topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.

See! plate was too small, and I couldn't match up on the thumb!

I wore this for the weekend just gone.  I got this after having seen this shade on the beautiful blog by Erika here.  It looked just so sunny and summery, I had to have it.  However, I was a bit disappointed that it was not quite as bright as I thought I would be.  None-the-less I still love it.  So no loss there.  Here it is in all its glory.  I would certainly say this is as close to true colour.  I hope you like it too.

Then a day later it got a little jazzed up.  I used strips of sticky back plastic and put them on at different angles on each nail, and to be honest I am so very pleased with this design.

I have worn this before, way back in October 2010, but felt it needed an outing again.  What can I say, not much, I like it.

Another Pink Sponge Gradient.

After my cup-a-cawfee, I needed something bright and simple.  This took all of about ten minutes to do.  I love this technique.  The colours I used, near the cuticle - China Glaze Something Sweet, Middle - China Glaze Make an Entrance and for the tips OPI - Vampire State Building.  Topped off with a coat of Seche Vite and voila!

Cupp-a-Cawfee?

After my OPI - Rumple's Wiggin' manicure, I felt like wearing something softer and not so "in your face".  So I went for this old timer, again by OPI a lovely strong milky coffee shade - Cupp-a-Cawfee.  This did not last too long on the nails as I found it TOO boring.  But I still like it!
