Starry Nights!!

I really liked the story behind the Ruffian manicure and how it was inspired by the moon and the night. I'm a night owl so I felt it suited me. :) For the "moon" I used Pure Ice in Silver Mercedes and then for the "sky" I used Essie in Midnight Cami. Now I know traditionally these have a matte finish but I'm not really into matte so much and like the glossier wet looks so I did not use a matte topcoat. I wanted it to have a little more to it so I used the stars/fireworks on Konad stamp plate m14 with the white Konad special polish and also added a rhinestone to each nail. The original design was to have the rhinestone in the center of the largest star but my rhinestones were too big for that...so I just added them to one spot on the nail. I really liked this one!!!

Freakin' Awesome Combo!!

I was really excited about this one and thought it was such a pretty color combo!! I love how it came out!!!

I used a base coat, followed by 2 coats of Revlon's Top Speed in Royal (1 coat probably would have worked but I wanted it to be nice and opaque and FYI this one has a stinky smell to it). I topped it off with the paisley print off of plate M60 in Pure Ice's Silver Mercedes. I have found this one to be the best silver to stamp with as far as how it appears against the base polish. I like this one way more than the Konad silver and best part...it's only $2.00 at Wal-Mart!!! I finished it out with 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat.
