If you haven't see the swatches already, then please take a look at my post here! In this post I will focus on the nail art I did with these polishes because I wanted to keep it separate from the main swatches. Hope you enjoy!

Swatch & Art: Tonic Polish - One Million Flowers

Hello & Welcome! Tonic Polish fans are gearing up for an awesome launch this coming Sunday, and I've got some things to show off before the big day! Other than a whole new, very special, collection being released - there is also a duo with Ever After. I've got the Tonic part of the duo in this post, so let's take a look!

#THELACQUERRING: Lace

Welcome back for the second The Lacquer Ring prompt  for September - lace! I thought it would be pretty easy, given how many stamping plates I have with lace imagery, but part of the problem was narrowing down what I wanted to use!

Here's what I ended up picking - do you see a hidden image there? ;)

Stamping Saturday: Lace Gradient

Hello and welcome to today's Stamping Saturday post! It's been a bit quiet around here, sorry about the lack of posts. My nails haven't been slacking - they've stayed polished! I just haven't made it to sit down and type something up. But I wanted to share this design here.

This look has a fun, bright color, a gradient and stamping! Click to read more to see the process!

Stamping Saturday: Blue Lace

Hello and welcome to yet another Stamping Saturday post! Yes..it is Sunday, actually, but I spent a good chunk of Saturday hanging out with my cousin, playing with polish and her new Cameo cutter. That's gotta count as a "Stamping Saturday" - right?  Here's the mani I want to show off today, as a result of my trial and errors. Sometimes what I envision has a hard time realizing itself exactly, so while this wasn't my original vision - I still like it a lot!

The base color is yet another polish from, click after the jump to see more!

Swatch & Art: China Glaze - At Vase Value

Say hello to yet another China Glaze from my stash! At Vase Value, really changes color based on lighting - while I had it on, it swayed from a washed out robin's egg blue to a baby blue that really popped. You can tell the color ranges from what's on the nails and what's in the bottle - they're not identical all the time!

 I was pleasantly surprised that it took me just 2 coats to get full coverage. I was worried that it would be thin and streaky. 

Swatch & Art: China Glaze - Thistle Do Nicely

For this simple stamped manicure I used a base of China Glaze Thistle do Nicely. It was rather hard to capture the color of this bright beauty, it's neon pink! I put it on in the evening and went for a walk with hubby, I was staring at my nails the whole time. Turns out I like neons, lol! It was practically glowing pinky-orange and there's no way to capture that in a photo.

It was a bit streaky for me and dried somewhat matte, but I got the coverage I was after in 3 coats and the glossy look with a topcoat.

Swatch & Art: China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle

This one's going to be short and sweet. I unexpectedly got sick on Friday and the only thing I got done over the weekend, besides getting lots of sleep, is my nails. I couldn't show up for work with the same mani as last week, coworkers are starting to get excited and noticing my nails more, and they think I change them everyday! I have to keep up appearances, lol.

Do you recognize this popular summer color?

September is Stamping Month! Day 15 - Clouds/Rain

I've been waiting to do this design! I was inspired by mypolishstash 's mani on instagram and have been eagerly waiting for my chance to re-create it :)
