Saran Wrap Mani with stamping

Hello :)  Today's manicure is not really season appropriate.  It's been over 100F here in California for the past 2 days :( and I'm just wishing for some cooler weather !!  Anyway, here are the shades used in this mani:

Essie Mink Muffs - a smoky plush taupe - started out with 2 coats;
Essie Case Study - a medium beige - painted a coat on the whole nail then used saran wrap to dab off some polish;
Essie Very Cranberry - a deep red berry with very subtle silver shimmer - used saran wrap to dab very little on each nail;
China Glaze 2030 - stamping polish;
Pueen 39 - stamping plate.


Topped everything off with a coat of top coat

Happy Mother's Day !

Hello :)  Today's manicure is a combination of polish and water decals.  These water decals by La Demoiselle are simply fabulous and very easy to use.  Just cut out the image, dip it in water for about 20 secs, slide the image out from the backing then apply it on the nail.  I bought them on Amazon here.  I must say that these water decals are pricey, however, not one damaged or broke on me during application as I have used quite a few images already.  I think they're worth the price.  Let's take a look at these photos :)


2 coats of Jessica Ava New Kid in Town - a gorgeous lavender with super subtle silver shimmer; from their It's a Girl Thing Spring 2013 Collection and Zoya Trixie for the dots
