40GNAI- Wedding

Hello, hello!

Today's finally FRIDAY-YAY!

The prompt for today was wedding. We are used to see discreet/French mani for the big day. I haven't see much of extravagant nails for wedding. Why is that?

I decided I wanted some BLING for my wedding nails. I had crystals from Born Pretty Store I still hadn't used and thought it was finally time to try them.

Overall I reaaally enjoy this mani. So girly. So bling-y!

 
I used "Cosmo" from Zoya for my accent fingers (pinky and thumb). That one is a stunner in the sun. Who wants some sparkle?!

 
For the others fingers I used Beautifully Bizarre from Orly. Gaaaah. I am in love. It's such a special polish. I think the name is perfect. Beautifully. Bizarre.
 
That pink base and the blue shimmer! Did I say I love it? No, wait. I adore it.
 
 
 
"Macro" on the crystals.
 
I am wearing this mani for two days and they still hold on onto my nails. I think I'll be using these crystals in the near future. I like them!

 
It looks delicate doesn't it? (In a bling-y sparkle way)
 
So tell me what do you think? Too much? Just enough? Would you be wearing these nails at a wedding?
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Florals

Hello, hello!

Finally Friday! Yay!

Well, for some, at least. I was "in vacation" for the week and damn it felt good. I don't want to go back to work Monday, ugh!

Today's prompt is floral and I thought it was the time to try again with the stamping! I am happy to report that this time, it worked per-fect-ly. YAAAS, finally!

 
For the base, I used "Vintage" from Orly, a gorgeous almost neon turquoise. (On the site, they say it's a green mint, but I dunno. It looks more a turquoise to me).  It looks washed off on my picture. I know.
 
It was easy to apply, a little bit on the streaky side on the first coat, but the second evened out everything. Be careful to not overdo it, because it is kind of thick.

 
And for the stamping I used a plate from BornPrettyStore and stamped with a clear jelly stamper (the main reason it was a successful attempt!!)
 
The nail art is pretty simple, but I hope you liked it!
 
Happy polishing!
