Stamping Sunday: Stars(Galaxy Nails)

For stamping sunday in the Adventures of Stamping group, we were supposed to do stars.  I unfortunately do not have any star stamps. :( so I decided to do a Nebula! or galaxy nails, or whatever you would like to call it!

And this is kind of a tutorial, it shows you how I achieved the Galaxy Nails!


First step: Paint them black. ( I used Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris) 

Second Step: I stamped on KleanColor Metallic Sapphire using plate RA 107. 

Third Step: I sponged on white in different directions. I used Wet N Wild French White Creme  (as you can see, the Metallic Sapphire soaked up the white, but I think that it looks really cool)

Fourth Step: I used a really tiny paint brush and added dots for stars. 

 Fifth Step: I added Finger Paints Twisted.

Sixth Step i added Funky Finger Sand and Stilettos to the edges of the white. 

Lastly I went back and sponged black on top of the white to mute it a little bit.

I really like the way my galaxy nails came out! What do you think?

Psych Week: Red + Shatter

On to the next color: Red

"The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention."

 What better to show you than a perfect red. I used Finger Paints Curators Crimson.  It came in a set from Sallys with a purple and a small bag.

This week in PAA the challenge was Crackle, so to Jazz this red up a little bit I added a Silver crackle from OPI called Silver Shatter.  I believe it was released with the Pirates of the Caribbean set originally, or atleast that is what was out with it when I picked it up from my JC Pennys.

I applied it quite thick, because my bottle is getting old from air exposure, so the bottle rim is caked with the polish, and was hard to open at first.  but the Shatter still came through. :)

Psych Week of Colors: Blue

 To continue my Color Psychology week I am using Blue.

Blue:
"The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms."

And my blue polish for today:

China Glaze First Mate with Finger Paints Motley.

Rainbow Fish Nails- Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge

The Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge this week was animal print.  well... I didn't want to do the normal cheetah or zeebra print.  So I decided on using my Red Angel Plates and the fish scale design on it.  This is what I came up with, and it is AWESOME!

Its a Rainbow Fish!

What I used:
Color Club - Cold Metal (from the foiled collection)
Essie - Shine of the Times
Finger Paints - Motley
Finger Paints - Sparkle Top Coat
Finger Paints - Twisted
(*then I added Seche Vite top coat to speed up the process and so I could stamp*)
Red Angel Stamp RA111 with Wet N Wild Black Creme stamped on.

This is what it looked like before the stamp.

And another pic of the Amazing fish scale design. :)

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed it as well! :)
