Prom Nails (I found em!) & Stamping.

So I was casually looking through my camera's memory and boom! There's my prom nails. Honestly, I thought I took the photos on my phone, which I've been doing a lot since it gives more accurate colors than my Nikon, sadly...

ANYWAYS, here's a double swatch type post. First off is a scotch tape mani from a tutorial over @ Chloe's Nails, that I used for my Jr. Prom - it features two coats of a white nail polish from Avon, and two coats of a pink Korean nail polish from a store called Cara.

 

Major bubbling happening here! Seriously, what went down? I noticed Seche Vite sometimes does that to me. I'm pretty sure I need to just stop shaking the bottle :P

Anyways, I totally didn't execute this well, and the pink was WAY more fake Barbie than I hoped. It looks fine in the photo, but the photo lies! D:<

OKAY, next up is one from another one from the Cara store, from a brand called Nail Colordium. Definitely was too plain for my taste (though I LOVE THIS COLOR, OHMYGOSH)

 

Stamped with my Bundle Monster plate to make up for it! I used another Nail Colordium polish with this.

 I'll probably edit this post later when I figure out which plate I used, and if anyone asks I'll put up the names (or numbers) of the polishes I used.

Till next time :)

China Glaze: Blue Iguana from the Island Escape Collection

Oh sadness! The nails I did for prom... Apparently my pictures didnt save :/ But! I do have this swatch, of Blue Iguana from China Glaze. The colour really didn't wow me, so it was followed by a Konad/Bundle Monster stamp for an extra kick! Here's a photo.

 

(ignore the chips everywhere, I was tired of the mani... and when I'm tired of a mani I pick at it)

Blue Iguana is a not so unique frosted blue, with a pretty regular application.

It took me three coats to have decent coverage, but my smile line was still pretty visible. Hence the stamp - which is from the new Bundle Monster set, plate BM-208.  I used the special Konad stamping polish in white.

Meh, though Blue Iguana is a nice colour, it really didn't... blow me away, like I was hoping it would.

For next time, maybe some fakies? With fimos :)
