Sunday Stamping: Once Upon A Time . . .

Today's Sunday Stamping challenge was to do a manicure that represented our favorite Fairy Tale.  I tried to think of ways to represent different Fairy Tales; Rapunzel, Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, or The Little Mermaid.  Nothing was coming to mind until I really followed the challenge and thought about my favorite one. . .

So this isn't a very common Fairy Tale.  So you might not know it, however it is the Grimm Fairy Tale The Shoes That Were Danced To Pieces, or The Twelve Dancing Princesses.  I could tell you what it is about, but I think you should read it for yourself.  I really love how the trees turned out, well except for the diamond tree. . . I couldn't figure out how to do it without it looking like another silver tree. . .

I used Bundle Monster BM-213 to represent the shoes and Winstonia W102 to create the trees.  The colors are China Glaze Want My Bawdy, Millennium, Medallion, Angle Wings, Glistening Snow, and Brownstone.  I also used loose glitter for the leaves.

My right hand I just used Medallion over WMB.

The Shade.

My thumb.  I am not sure what  could have done for the diamond tree. . . if you have any ideas, let me know.

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 18: A Song

The song I was inspired by I also did a photo montage too a while back.  So you understand the design, here is that video.




So I have done the monarch butterfly design before and I thought I would do it again, althought with different colors.  If you would like to do this design too, as it is rather popular and I never fail to get complements when I do it just google it.  There are a lot of tutorials out in the webverse.  My favorite is from cutepolish, but honestly you should look around at different tutorials.  I find doing that gives you different tips that might work better for you then another person's.

I really like the colors I used.  It looks more romantic and subdued as well.  China Glaze Angle Wings is amazing, as I have told you before, in fact this was the design I had intended the previous time I mentioned it.

So all the colors I used were China Glaze Angel Wings, Dress Me Up, and  Urban-Night.

This is a good design to do with your non-dominant hand.  It has to be precise, but there are not a lot of details, so it is easier to take your time and still not get frustrated.  Just remember it takes practice.  I am still practicing myself and have a lot to learn.  But, I love doing this and practicing is doing it.

A few more pictures. . .

The other participants beautiful music should not be missed!

Golden Nude

You heard me I said nude!  The eight year old in me wants to squeal in laughter.  Ah, innuendos (to which my brother would respond in-your-end-o!  Got to love Scrubs!).  First take a look at this.

Do you see it?  Look how pretty!  This is the base for a design I will post next month, but I wore it like this all day and felt you must see the sparkly goodness.

So, this is China Glaze Dress Me Up and Angel Wings over the top.  It is so neutral and sophisticated with a gorgeous sparkle that flecks gold, red, green, and blue.  Seriously get Angel Wings!  It is from CG current Holiday collection and you will be bummed if you don't buy it.

Tootles!
