NOTD Purple Stamped & Mattified....

Happy hump day everyone.  Today I wanted to share with you a mani I wore this past weekend.  I have been looking for Essie Matte About You for MONTHS & I finally received it i a swap from one of my dear friends on Instagram @nailartfanatic & I couldn't wait to use it!  I squealed when I opened my package because I had no idea she was going to include it.  It was a huge surprise.

Also, I just wanted to share that I am an amateur polishaholic.  I created this blog because I love polishes & nail art and decided to learn from other blogs.  I'm not in any way an expert.  I'm just a grandma enjoying sharing my addiction with other & learning everyday to paint my nails.

I appreciate everyone who takes a glimpse of my blog.

Base:  Nicole by OPI "My Prized Possession"
Stamping Polish:  Kleancolors Metallic Fuchsia
Top Coat:  Essie Matte About You
Image Plate:  Konad M57

I must say's I love My Prized Possession on it own.  It's a gorgeous purple.  As you know, Purple & Pinks are my fav lol but I'm determined to tackle becoming a proficient stamper.

I think it came out awesome!  I'm so proud of myself.  Let me know what you think.

NOTE:  All pics were taken with my good 'ole iphone.  This is for fun right? lol.  I may invest in a good camera soon but I'd rather just buy more nail polish.

Zoya Jem stamped

Happy Sunday everyone. This morning I want to show you another Zoya polish that I purchased from the Zoya B3G3 free promotion. This beauty is called Jem...

Jem is a deep burgundy shimmer color with a super fine gold glitter. It's absolutely beautiful.

The application was a dream. I used 2 coats below but could have gotten away with only 1. Pictured below us no base coat, 2 coats of Jem & 1 coat of NYC in a minute top coat.

I also stamped over Jem with my Cheeky Plate D X-Large plate using Kleancolor Metallic Mango. I'm still new at stamping but this was so easy to do.

Note: All pictures were taken in natural light with my iPhone as I am not a professional. I do this for fun...:)

Thanks for reading
