Criss Cross and Stripes

Hello Lovelies,

I was checking out the JCrew website and I saw this outfit I liked. Well actually I liked the shirt.

I am not sure about the rules for taking pics out. Hopefully, I am not breaking any rules by doing this, if I am please let me know

It looks more like pajamas together.

I was inspired to do my nails like this: 

This was for the #nailartjune OOTD (outfit of the day). I couldn't use any of my outfits because my wardrobe sucks right now. I really don't want to shop until I loose my baby weight. Although, I have been buying clothes that aren't my size, can't pass up a good deal. 

I used Maybelline's ColorShow in Sandstorm for the beige base, and I used SH's Orange Impulse for the orange, Essie's French Affair for the pink, and a no-name blue Cosmetic Arts (a Ross buy) for the wack job of a stamping I did. But I did finally get my squishy big stamper, so it should get better. 

Talk with you soon...

Target Nails

I live in a small town and we usually have to drive a hour away to do some serious shopping, but I rather shop online or just head over to Target or Tar-jay. I usually find some polish on super sale, which is cool.

I used Loreal - Rendezvous for the red, Loreal - I Will! for the white, and acryllic paint for the rest. It was fun drawing the dog, the dog is used on gift cards.

I used the stamp from BM 206 and filled it in with the red.

Peacock Nails

My peacock nails, I guess if I did have a favorite animal it would be a peacock. The closest zoo (hour away) has peacocks freely walking around.

I used two colors from the avant garden China Glaze (CG) collection. CG-Keep Calm, Paint on (light teal) and CG-Dandy Lyin Around (glittery white). The shimmery color on my ring finger, the poor looking feather is SH-Blue Streak, and I used Shany plate 24 for the feather on the index and thumb, and Red Angel plate 102 for the peacock.

I think I might have to try this again.

Pink and Gold Stamping Skittle

A Crewed Interest by Essie has to be one of my favorite nail colors. It goes well with my skin tone, but I always have to use 3 coats to get it even.

I stamped with Bold Gold by Maybelline Colorshow and Bundle Monster (BM-221).

I am still working on my camera and picture quality. Why must it be so difficult for me. 

Mint Leopard

So, I am feeling like a pro at this stamping game, not because of experience, because of using the kit's scraper instead I have been using a faux credit card (it came in my junk mail). What a difference!

Anyhoo. For this mani, I used SH Wet Cement, then I stamped with a metallic dark silver/gray from LA Colors (came in the set I bought at Ross) using BM-221. I added the mint color, I think it is Mint Candy Apple from Essie (which I also bought at Ross, but it has a wrong name - Superduper Topcoat ???) What is up with that.

Purple Gradient Snakeskin

I must be on a purple kick, plus it's my favorite color. I used Revlon's Cloud, the light purple, and some unknown named Cosmetic Art (you know the ones from Ross) for the darker purple. I stamped it using BM-215, with Sally Hansen's Complete Manicure's Love Me Not.

Bikini so Teeny

I used the base color the lighter blue, Essie's Bikini so Teeny, and then I stamped with the darker blue Zoya's Robyn in BM-322, topped it off with some of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, a light holographic glitter.

I kind of nicked my pointer, oopsy, and some others.
