Hey guys! I have 3 more Beauty Big Bang Stamping Plates to share with you. Today, I have some floral and a lace stamping plate. As usual, the stamping plates were nicely etched, and I had no issues with picking up any images.
First up is Stamping Plate XL-005 (SKU: BBBXL-005). This plate has a variety of lace designs.
For my mani, I chose to use the design with the leaves. I began with a beige nude as my base, and then went ahead and picked up the image. Then, I proceeded to fill in the leaves with some flakie polishes. Once they were pretty dry, I went ahead and stamped them onto my nails. The final step was to apply top coat.
Close-Ups:
Stamping Plate XL-022 (SKU: BBBXL-022) features many floral and butterfly images.
For this mani, I chose to use the sunflower image. I began with a mustard yellow polish, picked up the image and stamped it onto each of my nails. Then, I added a bit of brown holo glitter to the middle of the sunflowers. Last thing to do, was to apply top coat.
Close-Ups:
Stamping Plate XL-024 (SKU: BBBXL-024) is full of floral images with some fun backgrounds.
For this last mani, I went with the top middle image from the plate. I applied a lilac polish that has some orange/golden-yellow glitter as my base, and on my ring finger, I sponged on a red/gold glitter polish. For the stamping, I just picked up the image and stamped it onto my middle nail. Picking up the lines from that same image, I decided to stamp them on my pointer nail and pinky. Last thing to do, was to apply top coat.
Close-Ups:
So which is your favorite mani? I think mine has got to be the lace leaves, I just love Fall manis.

Goodbye Summer, hello Fall! 🍁 Who else is as happy as I am, that this beautiful season is here? Let me know what your favorite Fall activity is in the comments.
Well, since Fall is my favorite time of year, I decided to do some Fall nails to welcome the season. I began with a nude polish with shimmer as my base, and chose 3 holos to stamp with. On my ring finger, I stamped a single leaf. For the rest of my nails, I chose an image with multiple leaves. To get the gradient effect, I added the 3 holo polishes over the image, and scraped a few times to get the colors to blend. Then, I picked up the image as fast as I could, and stamped it on my nails. After I finished stamping, I went ahead and added top coat.
Close-Ups:
I really like how these turned out, and I'm so ready to see more Fall nail art.
As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next time.

Happy Thanksgiving guys! If you are celebrating, I hope you have a great time with your loved ones. I'll be celebrating with my family and relatives, which I'm very thankful for. I might even do some Black Friday shopping with my sister, so that will be fun I hope. It also happens to be my sister's birthday today, which is pretty special. I hope she really enjoys herself.
So, let's get to today's mani shall we? The theme for Nov.22 of the Glam Nails Challenge was Fall Gradient. I chose 5 beautiful holo polishes and did a gradient. Afterwards, I decided I wanted to add a bit of stamping over it to make it more of a Fall mani. I picked a leaf image since I did my gradient with leaf colors, and I think it was a perfect choice. The last thing to do was apply top coat. But unfortunately, I smeared my pointer nail by accident.

Blurry Close-Up:
I really liked the gradient, so I took pictures before the stamping.

Well I hope you guys like these.
A big thank you to all of you for stopping by, and may you have a wonderful day. Until next time.

Happy First Day of Fall! Oh my gosh, I've been waiting to say that for a while now, lol. I'm so excited Summer is finally over and Fall is here. You know what that means. Cooler weather, warm drinks, boots and scarves, leaves changing color, pumpkins everywhere, Halloween, and much more. I'm so ready!
Anyway, I did a mani to welcome this beautiful season, which just happens to be my favorite. I actually saw this mani on Pinterest a long time back and I saved it because I wanted to try it. This mani was inspired by Kristin from polishedtwins, click here to see her mani. I did the same glitter gradient she did, but I stamped on the leaves instead of painting them on, and I didn't color them in either. Well here they are.
Close-Ups:
I also added a matte top coat to see how they'd look.
Close-Ups:
I hope you guys liked them. I think they looked much better in real life though, it was pretty difficult to capture these how I wanted. I still like how they turned out, simple but cute.
Like always, thank you for stopping by. Until next time guys.

Hi guys! So I'm a few days late, but better late than never. This month's theme for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows was Dotticure. I knew I wanted to use Fall colors, but didn't have a specific idea on how I'd be placing the dots. I was a bit inspired after seeing a dotticure mani by Jessica on Instagram, I just loved the colors she used. You should definitely go check out her page. Anyway, here's my mani.
Close-Ups:
I don't have different sized dotting tools, so I just tried making different sized dots with what I had. But I do feel like I overdid it with the dots. I hope you guys still like it though.
As always, thanks for stopping by. Until next time.
