Dandelions. {Nailz Craze plate NC01}

I have my last Nailz Craze stamping plate to show you today. I've absolutely loved using them. They're amazing quality.

This is plate NC01. It has some awesome butterfly wing images, a peacock feather, hearts, something that looks like a four-leaf-clover (but perhaps they're just supposed to be hearts too), and a cute dandelion. I decided to use the dandelion image for my manicure. My stamping isn't great for this manicure so please excuse that. I used Ulta3 Black Satin to stamp with, and my Winstonia Stamper and Scraper.

Polishes used: Essie Bikini So Teeny, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Ulta3 Black Satin. I added some of these cute little black star glitters to the base of the nail. I bought them from Cherry Poppin' Nails.

The inspiration for this manicure came from Marta/ChitChat Nails. I loved what she did with this plate, here. I've adored using the Nailz Craze stamping plates, and I think that if you like stamping or even want to try it, these plates are great. They have some of the cutest designs I've seen on stamping plates! *Product(s) in this post were provided to me by the company or PR for my 100% honest review.  For more info please read my Disclosure Policy*

Bridal Nail Idea #2 {ft. Nailz Craze Stamping Plate NC 04}

Hi guys! I have my second bridal nail idea to share with you today! If you didn't see my first one, you can check that out here.

I was provided with a few stamping plates from the lovely Natalie from Nailz Craze a few weeks ago, and it's taken me a while to get around to completing my reviews which is quite pathetic on my part, so sorry about that, but I did show you one of the plates last month here.
Today I've used plate NC 04 to create this bridal nail art. I chose this plate specifically for the cute diamond ring image! So cute! I thought this plate would be absolutely perfect for some cute bridal nail art. It would also be cute for Valentines Day, which is less than a month away!

The polishes I used for this manicure were OPI I Theodora You {one of my absolute favourite pinks. It's a jelly but builds up pretty much opaque in three coats, which is what I did} and It's Frosty Outside, which I talked more about here.

I stamped the images using China Glaze Devotion, from the Romantique collection. It's a metallic chrome, and it's technically a purple colour but it almost looks silver to me. The whole Romantique collection is amazing for stamping. Along with this I used my favourite Winstonia XL squishy stamper and scraper to stamp with.

So far I have found that the Nailz Craze plates are amazing quality, and actually work better than some more well-known brand plates that I have tried! I find I get a much crisper image with Nailz Craze. Even the images with large areas are amazing!

I'm not sure that I would actually wear this on my nails for my wedding day... It's more of a novelty for me. It would be fun to wear for something like an engagement party, or maybe a bridal shower or hens party, however!

What do you guys think? :)

Christmas Cuties ❅ {Nail Art}

I'm finding myself super busy lately, leaving me little time to do my nails at all, let alone do any nail art. But I recently made some time to crank out some cute Christmas nail art.

I've included lots of standard Christmas things in this manicure. Santa Claus, a snowman {although it doesn't snow here and I have never seen snow!}, a Christmas tree, a pudding and a Christmas jumper pattern!

My nail art skills are kind of rusty, so I made each nail pretty simple. {It may not look that simple to some, but I promise you, it really was. The whole manicure only took me about an hour to do. A normal one-colour-manicure usually takes me about 30 minutes for reference.}

Polishes used in this manicure:

• Sinful Colors Rich In Heart
• Ulta3 Lily White
• OPI My Very First Knockwurst
• China Glaze Winter Berry
• OPI Big Apple Red
• Ulta3 Black Satin
• Essie Fear or Desire
• Revlon Jaded Night
• OPI My Favourite Ornament
• China Glaze Be Merry, Be Bright {'ornaments' on Christmas tree nail}
• Rubi Shoes Taupe
• Rimmel Acid House
• B Squared Lacquer Glitzy {one star glitter used on Christmas tree nail}

Sooo, as you can see, I used a darn lot of polishes in this manicure. LOL.

Oh, and the weird red & green lines on the tip of the Snowman nail? That's supposed to be a scarf, k? ;)

On my thumb nail, I stamped over Sinful Colors Rich in Heart with Nailz Craze plate NC 03*, with Ulta3 Lily White polish. Despite Lily White not being completely opaque, it stamped pretty well!

I have had my eye on this stamping plate for a while because of this adorable Christmas jumper pattern image! A few stamping companies have similar images now but I think Nailz Craze was definitely one of the first to do it.
I used this squishy XL stamper from Winstonia to stamp with, by the way.

I have some more Nailz Craze plates to share with you soon {I cannot wait!}, and I'll probably use this one again in a full manicure because I love it so much. :)

Thanks for visiting, my lovelies. :D I hope I have some time to do more Christmas nail art before Christmas is here but I'm not sure if I will. I have a lot of posts planned & a whooooole lotta swatching to do!
