I'd Love to Stay and Chat, But I really Mustache!

The last Nail Art Ideas Linkup prompt is least favorite polish.  I figured I would blow this one off, because for the life of me I couldn't think of what polish to do.  So I started this manicure and reached for a glitter polish I hadn't used before.  I don't like this polish.  I love chunky glitters, but this one, like many of them is a beast to get off the brush in a the right way.  I tried to dumb some out and then place the glitters on individually, but I couldn't get them to pick up with my dotting tool.  Curses!!


So the polishes I used were Julep Alicia and China Glaze Don't Be A Flake.


I really like Alicia, the formula is great and it wears really nicely.  I had it on for a week and just had a it of tip wear when I took it off.


The mustaches are water decals from Bundle Monster.  The first decal I put on went on at a bit of an angel,  but I liked it, so I did it to all of them.


The glitter bums me out, but I really do like the overall manicure.  I hope you do too!

Tootles!

Movember

I am sure you all know I love mustaches.  So how could I pass up a chance to do mustaches the way the trend started, as a way to bring awareness to Prostate Cancer and Men's Health.


Orly Decades of Dysfunction is one of my absolute favorite polishes.  I have used it before with gold stamping and I am still a fan.


I used Nicole by O.P.I. On a Gilt Trip for the stamping.  I got the polish in a Ipsy bag.  The polish nice, but nothing overly astounding.  The designs are MASH M60 and Winstonia W109.


I hope you all like it.

Tootles!

Bundle Monster Mustaches

So I want to take a moment to sing the praises of a Nail Art vendor, Bundle Monster.  I am sure most of you have heard of them, right?  Well I ordered their Holiday Stamping Plates quite a while ago.  I was going through them and noticed some missing.  I contacted them and let them know the problem and they sent me replacement plates, no questions asked.  How many companies do that?  They have earned a life long customer who will recommend them to anyone.  Now I have never been paid by them or given free things, but I will sing their praises!  I have only used their Nail Art plates, but since I was so happy with them, I thought I would try something new.  I bought some Acrylic Mustaches.  I believe I already told you I adore mustaches (and have now changed my blog background to reflect that).  I have never been a big fan of 3D Nail Art, but I figured I would give it a go.


I painted my nails with Julep Kai, which is a textured polish.  Now behold the photos.




For fun and for a special day, these are a blast to wear.  Not my normal cup of tea, but a great way to shake things up a bit, plus they are totally reusable!

Is there anything you want to try that you never have?  What are your feelings on Bundle Monster?

Pleasure to Feel Guilty Over

It is Sunday and you know what that means?  Sunday Stamping with the Facebook group Adventures In Stamping!!

This week the challenge is Guilty Pleasures.  I really wanted to do something, but I couldn't think of anything.  I like many things and I figure if someone else doesn't like it, then more for me!  So I started looking through my plate collection and found a few mustache designs.  I don't feel guilty about liking them, but I do get quite a bit of teasing over it.  What can I say, I like old-timy mustaches.  I have a few things, mostly at work with the motif.  Even my scissors are covered in a mustache pattern.  So this is what I came up with.


Cute right?  I really like the main color I used, Julep Bea.  It is such a creamy yellow.  Then I stamped with Konad Special White and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lively Lilac.  The accent nail is China Glaze United.  The stamping is Bundle Monster BM-423 and BM-402.


Unfortunately it has been threatening to rain so I had no sunshine to really capture the colors and sparkle.  The next morning was all sunshine so I re-took the pictures.  (I am looking into buying a photo box and lights on e-bay, I just need to wait for my paycheck)


I can't forget my thumb!  Isn't he cute!


I really do like the design although I am not overly guilty about my love of mustaches.  I mean honestly, how can you not like them.  Maybe I should change my blog background to mustaches. . .

Tootles!
