I used Zoya Mitzi as the base, and stamped with Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire, and my Salon Express plate. I didn't use a topcoat, because i wanted the zoya matte to stay matte. :)

Stamping Sunday: Unnatural Animal Print
Today for Sunday Stamping, the theme was unnatural animals. Sooo i did a green and blue zebra. ;)
I used Zoya Mitzi as the base, and stamped with Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire, and my Salon Express plate. I didn't use a topcoat, because i wanted the zoya matte to stay matte. :)

More Nail Art!
Today I just wanted to do more nail art with my new dotters, because they are super fun and easy. I have a set of 5 I bought off of ebay (that I will do a post on, as soon as all of my ebay nail stuff comes in!) and I love them.
I have some pink scroll print nails over black today.
I used Wet N Wild Black Creme as a base, and then used my smallest dotter to draw the design with Color Club Hot Like Lava.

Hello Kitty Nail Art!
Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails is hosting a nail art contest!
Create your manicure using one (or more!) of those 5 ideas, and submit it.
Your design doesn't have to be limited to these ideas but just make sure at least one is included somewhere.

I chose Hello Kitty and Animal Print!
I did a Cheetah print on all of the nails except the ring finger, and I used dotting tools to freehand the hello kitty head onto my nails.
The colors used:
Color Club Poptastic - background
Color Club Hot Like Lava - inside of cheetah and HK Bow
Wet N Wild French White Creme - HK
Wet N Wild Black Creme - details
and as I stated above I used my new dotting tools from ebay!

Blue Stamping
I really love my Red Angel image plates so much, and this is another cool image from them!
The colors used are a Blue Cosmetic Arts polish(I really like this blue polish!), and Color Club Cold Metal as the stamping polish. I used Red Angel plate RA112.
What do you think?

Stamping Sunday: Green
Ok, so as most of you can tell from my most recent posts, I am addicted to stamping. and some of the lovely ladies on PAA created another group dedicated to just stamping! And similar to the Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenges, these challenges are every sunday, and have random themes for example: with a certain color or the last number of the plate ending in a 5.
This week's challenge is Green! Because I have not returned home to my beloved stash The only green I had with me at home was one I gave to my sister. lol. So I used this Essence Color and Go polish called Lime Up!
I used a Color Club Cold Metal from the Foiled Collection to stamp with, and it looks fabulous! :)
Oh and this is Red Angel plate RA114.

Revlon Carbonite with CC Cold Metal stamp
I decided to do some nail stamping with my plate. :)
This is Revlon Carbonite with Color Club Cold Metal stamped on.
Yes the Revlon looks a little gold in some pics, but that is just the lighting.
Enjoy!

Stamper trial!
So I bought my stamper set this weekend and i decided to try out some of the designs. Some are a little crooked... some are a little messy on the cuticles(as a warning..)... but all in all i am very excited with my purchase!
I'm not sure I would call this a review, because I have never done a review, and This was just a trial run of stamping... I have never stamped before! :P
The first 2 I tried over my NOTD - NYX Girls Robotic. I used Color Club Lumin-icecent from the foiled collection. It is AMAZING at Stamping!
The next 3 I had OPI DS Mystery as the base and I applied Color Club Antiquated as the stamp color. (also from the Foiled collection! once again they are AMAZING as a stamping polish!)
Overall I LOVE my stamper! The double ended stamper worked very well for me, I did not have to buff it like a few other bloggers say they have to do.
The only problem I would say would be to make sure you clean out the image very well or else your stamper won't pick up the whole image. This happened to me a few times.
Also It is much better to use an old gift card than the scraper that is given to you because the scraper is made of metal and can scratch your plates.

day 11 of Untrieds! Color Club Cold Metal
Day 11 of untrieds and I have an amazing foil for you. It is absolutely gorgeous. Cold Metal is from Color Club's fall 2011 line Foiled. The application was amazing. It applied like a dream. (there is a really good comparison of Stone Cold(below), Orly Sweet Peacock, and CG blue years eve HERE)
on to the swatches!
And what isnt better with a little glitter?? I added Claire's Bedazzled on top! :) it was a nice compliment to the shiny metallic of the blue already.
hope you enjoyed!
