Bornprettystore Nail Stamping

Today I have a bunch of manis to show you!

I was sick for a month and have been really behind on my blogging. Thankfully, I'm much better now and my energy has come back. I am back with lots of pretty pictures to share with you. 

Lots of nail stamping!

Sunset Safari

When bornprettystore sent me this safari animal plate, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I searched for sunset safari images on Pinterest and came across the most beautiful photo and I had the perfect colors for it!

Loreal Neons : Punchy Lychee

The Rite Aid near me finally stocked up on Loreal Neons. I picked up 4 of the 6 colors: Acid Watermelon, Punchy Lychee, Fluo Azur, and Flashing Lilac. The 2 colors I didn't get were: Banana Pop and Energetic Tangerine.

Sunset and Palm Trees

I have been wanting to do palm trees for a long time. It looks difficult but it's really easy. These sunset and palm tree nails are inspired by SoNailicious.

Who loves glitter nail polish? This girl! Who hates removing glitter polish? Still this girl!

July 4th is perfect for barbeques, getting together with friends and family, celebrating, parades, and flag inspired nails!

Don't Bossa Nova Me Around because I Don't Give A Rotterdam

I did a simple floral mani tonight because I wanted to use my 2 new O.P.I nail polishes. 

Polish for Nail Stamping

I decided to compile a list of the nail polish I have that works well for nail stamping. I will continue to add to this list as I collect more nail polish. 

Rose Water Decals

About a month ago I ordered some water decals from bornprettystore (10% off your purchase with code: CAMX31) but I never got a chance to use it. To be honest, I wasn't sure how to go about it without looking tacky or awkwardly slapped on. I tried to use it over different colors but it didn't work out well. I gave up and decided to use it with a white base. It looks magnificent! 

Loreal : Tangerine Crush

Neon Orange & Lavender

A wonderful friend gifted me 3 new Essie nail polishes today. 2 of them are from the 2014 neon collection. I used 1 of the neons and a lovely lavender she gave me.

Stamping Jelly

This mani reminds me of Barbie circa the 90s. Remember when Barbie was all about pink, butterflies, and flowers? 

Barbie fingers

Roses

Originally, I wanted to do a delicate vintage rose mani. I don't know what happened. 4 of my 5 fingers are pretty and delicate. But I have this yellow and green index finger that's in your face loud. It's like that game, find the thing that doesn't belong in the group. I like it. It's different, and different is good. 

Pow!

Lemon Jelly

I avoided doing a Jelly Sandwich manicure for a long time. It doesn't seem to look right when I attempt it. I recently saw one I liked so I tried to recreate it. It still looks weird on me. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Lavender Daisies

I'm not sure how I feel about this manicure. The lavender base color is gorgeous but the daisies are a bit messy. What do you think?

Aruba Blue & Silver Glitter Gradient

If I had to choose one television series to represent NYC, it would be Sex and the City. I love Sex and the City and would have marathons when I couldn't sleep. The nails I did tonight were inspired by a very important scene from the first movie. When Big proposed to Carrie with those gorgeous blue shoes.

Japanese

This mani was inspired by a gorgeous piece of art I found on Google.

Black, White, and Silver

I've been playing around with different looks lately so today I decided to go for an edgier look. It's very different from my usual style but I kind of like it.
