Another Sunday, another Sunday challenge in Adventures In Stamping. This week's challenge was lace and with my new BBF plates I got a bit ago in a group buy, I couldn't resist doing it. Well no rambling lets just get on with the purtiness!
Long time no see. I haven't posted in a while because of a lot of personal issues I've been dealing with, let's just leave it at that because I highly doubt anyone wants to hear my long story. So I'm just going to apologize and we'll move onto why we're all here, the purty nail art.
Anyone that knows me, knows my absolute dislike for textured nail polishes. That being said, I accidentally bought a few not so long ago. Sally Beauty was having their anniversary sale a couple weeks ago and I picked up a ridiculous amount of nail polish and supplies...stupid, stupid Jenni! Anywho, I got a few Finger Paint polishes that were gorgeous in the bottles and didn't realize until I got home that they were textured. They're not as textured as some of the other polishes on the market and when you have lemons, you create purty nail art. So onto it.
I know that the Chinese New Year was on Friday, but the challenge in Adventures In Stamping was for today. Why don't we just move straight to the nails?
I jinxed myself BIG TIME! I had said in the last post that work would've been slowing down, and boy was I wrong! I've worked about 112hrs in the last 2 weeks. To say I'm exhausted is an understatement. Such as life though. Well, anywho I bring you another Adventures In Stamping Sunday challenge, the challenge was to stamp a fabric. I choose to do a damask fabric, so let's see it!
The challenge this week in Adventures In Stamping was to use 3 blues, with blue being my favorite color you can understand how excited I was about this. I quickly grabbed my binder of plates to figure out what I was gonna do and off I went. Strangely, my favorite thing to do during Christmas is wrap presents. I love it so much, my mother just ended up letting me wrap my own presents in my teens. (I would peek at my presents every year anyway, I'm not a patient person.) So this nail art is perfect for me.
Another Sunday, another challenge in Adventures In Stamping. This time the challenge was a stamping jelly sandwich. I was so thrilled/excited about this challenge. I've of course heard of Jelly Sandwich nails, I posted up one not too long ago, but I never thought about doing one with stamping. Of course, after the thrill died down, I remembered something important...I've made it a point in the past not to buy jelly polishes. I do have a few, but my options colorwise were severely limited for this challenge. But once a challenge is accepted, it must be done. So, without further ado...
I did this nail art for the challenge yesterday in Adventures In Stamping, the challenge was Winter or Thanksgiving. I was totally intending to do a Thanksgiving nail art, but somehow I zigged to winter instead. Although, I find it funny, when I did this I had no idea it was supposed to snow today...and oh my god did it snow! Anywho, let's get to this.
The month is winding down, but I still have a bit more Halloween nail arts to share with you all and I couldn't not to a witchy nail art. Witches were always my favorite costume for Halloween. Anywho, let's not dawdle...onto the purty.
I'm a little later in posting this than I had planned, I was really sick this weekend and ended up going to the ER this morning, but here it is. It being Sunday and it being stamping, this is of course for the Sunday Nail Challenge in Adventures In Stamping. It wasn't what I had planned for the challenge, but with how much pain and how sick I've been this weekend I really didn't have the energy to do the nail art I had planned. Hopefully, I'll get better and be able to do it before Halloween on Thursday.
Anywho, enough of that. Let's move onto the purtiness...
Another day, another challenge in Adventures In Stamping. This challenge was to stamp over a holographic base, luckily I bought a bunch of holographic's a couple of weeks ago so I had some choices. It being October, I obviously had to do a Halloween holographic nail art.
Today was another challenge in Adventures In Stamping, stamp over a black base. It being October and Halloween being one of my favorite holidays, I've made it a rule that any nail art this month has to be Halloween related. So without further ado, I give you nail art.
There was another challenge this week in the Facebook stamping group I belong to, Adventures In Stamping. The challenge was to do a nail stamping inspired by your favorite song. Now I don't have a "favorite" song per se, so instead I chose a song that I've been singing and humming a lot lately. P!nk's Try was my inspiration for this nail art. So, to borrow from another P!nk song, let's get the party started.
I was looking around the net for inspiration, when I ran across a bunch of french nail arts. I had had an idea in my head for a while now about doing some kind of french nail art with stamping and this just seemed like as good of time as any to do it. So without further ado, I give you nail art.
I've had this desire for the longest while to use the tree from the Red Angel plate RA-115, but never followed it through. Then suddenly...BAM! It just clicked and I had to do a sunset gradient under a tree silhouette. I'll tell you a little secret...I've only done one other gradient and it was a really simple one, so I was really nervous/terrified going into this. Anywho, let's get this show on the road.
Every week there's a nail stamping challenge in a Facebook group I belong to, Adventures In Stamping. It's just a fun little challenge, and it can give you ideas for stamping that you may not have thought of before. Anywho, this week's challenge was to stamp using 2 or more different colors, well I give you what I came up with.
First off, sorry for not posting for a while. I went back to work last week after being on med leave all May and lets just say, it wasn't the easy transition back I'd had been hoping it would've been. I just didn't have the time or desire to do anything to my nails besides slap a color on. Then I got lazy and a nail chipped and I ended up having to cut down all my nails, as you'll see in the pictures below.
Anywho, I tend to gravitate towards dark nail polishes, I don't know why. So, I decided since it was spring and because I haven't worn a green polish in a while that I'd pick a light green. I landed on a light metallic green.
I've had this vision in my head of a sun vector nail art for a while now and finally decided to do it. It's not exactly how I envisioned it, but it's nice. Although, I'll probably try this again later to execute the exact vision in my head.
