Tie Dye Nail Art with OPI Neons

This was such a fail. Thought I would share anyway. It was quite hot the day I did this. I think the polish was drying too quickly. Oh well. Live and learn, right?
The white base is Zoya Purity. The neons are OPI You Are So Outta Lime, Push & Pur-pull, Down To The Core-al.

Even though it didn't turn out the best, I think it still looks like tie dye! And I love any excuse to break out the neons! Thanks all for the visit. Hope to see you back soon.

Pueen Encore SE04B Stamping

Today I have some random stamping using Pueen Encore plate SE04B. I just wanted to see how well it stamped, so I chose different areas of the plate to use. My base is Barielle My City Apartment.  I've included some photos of that for you too!

I used Mundo de Unas Iris as the stamping polish. Using different parts of the plate, I didn't come across any areas that the stamp wouldn't pick up. Any smearing in the photos is from applying top coat, not the image plate itself.

So far I've been very happy with this plate set and have no hesitations in recommending it to other stampers. I'm really loving these bigger plates that you can choose your own image.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you back soon!

CrowsToes Alfheim

Hello everyone. Today I have Crowstoes Alfheim for you to ogle. This shade is from the recently released 9 Realms collection.

This is a light green linear holographic polish. I used three thin coats and had no issues with application. I found it very flattering with my skin tone, but am not sure if it will work on everyone. Pics taken outside in sun and shade.

I need to mention that I have also worn this on my toes, and it made for a beautiful pedi! CrowsToes does not have a store, but there are many stockists who carry it. I suggest that you check out the CrowsToes FACEBOOK page for details. I purchased this from Harlow & Co.

Barry M Papaya

Today I have my first Barry M polish. I realize they aren't new, but it was the first time I was able to purchase. I was able to purchase from Color4Nails. I chose two and if the second is as great as this, I'll be getting some more.
Papaya is a super coral shade that is bright but isn't at the same time. It applied flawlessly in two coats. Dried super shiny without top coat too, although I added some anyways. These pictures were taken after three days. As you can see, no visible signs of wear. Nothing beats a good creme!

Nothing but good things to say about this polish. It got a ton of compliments too! I do have another to try and I hope it's just as good.
Thanks for the visit. Hope to see you again soon.
