Stamping Saturdays #68

Posted on by Cynthia

Saturdayyyyyyyyyyyy! I’m so happy that it’s Labor Day on Monday because I have a 3 day weekend. Of course I’m planning to do NOTHING except maybe swatch a little. I still have a pile of stuff to get through so hopefully I’ll get through everything over the long weekend. Last night I was binge watching stuff on Netflix (what else is new?) and I decided to just work on my Stamping Saturdays mani instead of leaving it for today. To start with, I wanted to use a densely packed glitter that I recently picked up from Pretty & Polished.

Pretty & Polished Arcane In The Membrane 1Pretty & Polished Arcane In The Membrane 2This gorgeous glitter is Pretty & Polished Arcane In The Membrane. The base is slightly tinted so you do tend to get decent coverage with two coats. I ended up applying a third coat just to make it all more uniform.

Born Pretty BP-L003 1Born Pretty BP-L003 2I decided to go simple with my stamping, so I used an image from Born Pretty Plate BP L-003 and used my white Konad polish. This is so simple but I really like it!

So what are you up to today? I’m just going to relax and enjoy my long weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!

Look here, California: I know it’s summer and all, but can you please give me a break? I don’t want to be sitting here in my living room and start sweating for no reason. I guess I will still have to put up with this heat for another 2 months so I’m just going to try to think happy thoughts of cooler weather. In my mind, I’m going to start moving into fall nail polish collections that will make me think of cool evenings and beautiful chilly mornings. For Stamping Saturdays I decided to use three polishes from an upcoming fall collection from Bellaluna Cosmetics. Let me show you  what color I used for my base.

12This smoky near black gray is Bellaluna Cosmetics Near Dark. This smoky gray has shimmery flecks that make it look so pretty and interesting. The formula is rather opaque and you can almost get away with one coat if you’re precise with your application.

5For my stamped decal accent nail, I decided to use there three gorgeous colors together: Sparkling Cranberry, Autumn Woodlands and Near Dark.

34As much as I love the look of decals, they are a huge pain in the ass. I also get irritated with Konad stamping polish smearing no matter how much top coat I use or how lightly I float the polish on my nails. This image is from Born Pretty plate  BP-L003–have I told you how much I love these cheapie plates? They are very inexpensive and the quality is great. If you watch out for sales, you can get them at an even better price.

So what do you think? I am going to have swatches and a review of these Bellaluna polishes next week so make sure to check back for that. Besides trying to stay cool, I don’t have too much going on this weekend and that suits me just fine. Well, I hope you’re doing well. Thanks for the visit, and I will catch up with you soon!
