Vinyl Record with Butterflies

I haven't played with my stamping plates in a while so I created this quick manicure. Two coats of Vinyl Record from LA Girls (one of my fav blue polishes sent from Nicole at Noir Lacquer in one of our earlier swaps last year) then stamping using Konad special polish in black and using the butterfly design on Art Deco plate A95.

I have used this polish in so many of my manicures, it is one of my fav blues, it applies so smoothly and the colour is so rich and creamy. I know this isn't important at all, but I love the shape of the bottle too.

Beatrice Butterflies

I hadn't used any Konad bits for a while, I didn't fancy a full nail design so I opted for butterflies....

I used two coats of Beatrice by Andrea Fulerton and stamped using Konad special polish in white. The plate is from Art Deco and is A95. After I had stamped the butterfly design I applied China Glaze fast forward top coat, which I think I like more than Seche Vite. My bottle of Seche Vite has gone very gloopy and stringy, there isn't much left, I probably will buy a new bottle at some point but for now I am happy with CG fast forward as it doesn't give that annoying shrinkage at the tips.

The nails are back (sort of)

I haven't blogged about any of the gorgeous new polishes I got from Nicole over at Noir Lacquer  or any of the new polishes I ordered a couple of months ago. A couple of my nails split and so I filled them all down otherwise the shorties would have looked really odd in comparison! Right now my nails are not long at all, but they are at an acceptable length. So I dusted my nail stamping kit out and a new Models Own polish called Top Turquoise. 

Here I painted two coats of Top Turquoise from Models Own then stamped from an Art Deco plate A95. Art Deco is very similar to Konad, the plates have the same amount of designs on. I then stamped with Konad's white special polish. Finally I added China Glaze non chip top coat.
