Something horrible happened last night, something that didn’t allow me to sleep: American Horror Story Coven is on Netflix so of course I’m not going to sleep this entire weekend just binge watching every single delicious episode. I actually stayed up until like 4 am watching episodes which means that I didn’t wake up until like 11 am this morning. UGH! I hate sleeping in that late, but I was pretty tired. It seems that whenever I sleep in super late, I am extra lazy the rest of the day which means that I will be rushing to get all my stuff done on Sunday. Womp womp. Last night I got it in my head that I wanted to go buy Sinful Colors Prosecco for my Stamping Saturdays mani. Apparently I’m the only person on the planet who didn’t know that it’s really hard to find because I went to 5 different stores and no one had it. Once I got home, I decided to look through my “high end” melmer drawer and couldn’t decide between Dior Rosy Bow and YSL Vert d’Orient. Of course I ended up going with Rosy Bow which is probably my favorite baby pink of all time. Let’s take a look at it.
I know that most people balk at the price, but Dior Rosy Bow is worth every penny in my book. I just love this polish so much and I am a super huge fan of the Dior brush as well. This is two smooth coats of the polish with a coat of Seche to amp up the sine.
I then used an image from Born Pretty plate BP-02 for this lace design. I also used my Mentality stamping polish in Black Opaque and I really loved how it performed. One thing that I really love about this stamping polish is that it is opaque but doesn’t stain like crazy unlike my black Konad polish. I also like that it doesn’t smear and smudge like the Konad one either. No matter what I do, my black Konad polish smears when I top coat it.
What do you think about this mani? I personally like the way it turned out BUT it almost pained me to stamp over my base color because I love it so much. The beautiful simplicity of this creamy baby pink just blows me away. So how is your weekend so far? I am thoroughly enjoying being lazy so I hope you’re enjoying your weekend as well no matter what you’re doing. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!

WOW that pink is amazing. It looks great on you! That BP lace came out exceptional as well! Yeah I hate when drug store polishes are hard to find. Especially here because my city seems to be terrible at restocking. I too am in the market for Prosecco. Maybe that’ll be our Christmas miracle is to find it.

I love this design! Yours is the one blog that I make sure to “tune into” every Saturday! I’m also super thankful that you allow others to link their designs to your blog! I love that Dior pink! I don’t know how much they cost, but I’m assuming it’s pricey! Lazy day for me as well!
Oh.my.gosh.. this is Beautiful! The lace stamp is just gorgeous! Love! Love! Love!
I loooovvee how this turned out! I wish I could just take it and put it on my own nails *u*
Gorgeous pink and the black lace stamping looks lovely with it.

Beautiful. You really have an eye for picking both the right color and stamping the right pattern over it. Your stamping is so beautiful always.
I love the stamping but I totally know what you felt like; sometimes you just don’t want any nail art when a polish is this beautiful 🙂

I’m not a big fan of the base color, but I love it matched up with the stamping. It’s got an almost goth-y look to it. 🙂
