St. Patrick's Day

Hey Everyone!! Last day of March, last St. Patrick's Day green mani. This is the mani I actually wore on St. Patrick's Day. I loved it, so much fun.

We went to lunch the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day and they gave me this Guinness bead necklace. I will take most anything if it is free and decided that it would be a nice festive prop for these pictures. I don't actually drink Guinness, or anything alcoholic really, but it was green.

For the base of this mani I used Smitten Polish Not Your Mama's Easter Grass and Milani Milan as a gradient. 

I had to have some gold in with my green and Milan is a great gold foil like polish. I loved the gradient base and I usually don't love gold.

This mani was so glowy and I wish I had thought to take a picture of just the base.

I used MoYou London plate Festive 21 for the images.

For some reason I didn't grab the tiny shamrocks correctly and they didn't come out perfect but they were still cute. I love this plate and highly recommend it for all your Irish and St. Patrick's Day stamping needs. Had it arrived earlier I would have done more manis with it but MoYou released it so close to the holiday that by the time it arrived I only had a couple days left to play. It is probably better that way seeing as I am still posting St. Patrick's Day going into April. Who knows how many more manis I would have to post had I gotten that plate sooner. 

That's all for now :)

Smitten Girl Sprouts Stamped

Hey Everyone!! I have been slacking. Last week H was on Spring Break and then this week I have just been slacking. T is on break for the week this week and will be home tonight. I was able to do a ton of errands and accomplish several things yesterday so I was successful but not near a computer all day. I am finally getting this posted. I am totally ok with being smacked with a shoe for being so late on these next few posts.

This is one of my absolute favorite manis of the year. First it is green, second it is holo, third it has adorable shamrocks and fourth it has knotwork. I loved this mani oh so much.

I started with a base of Smitten Girl Sprouts. I don't know why I don't have a picture of just the base for this one. I love this green so much. It is bright and fun. 

I used three coats of Girl Sprouts and then stamped with Konad black.

I used my new Creative Shop Stamper and was still getting used to it so there are some flaws with the stamping. It is such a fun mani I didn't even care too much. Well, maybe a little, but I ignored it.

I need to work on placement. I can't center these things for the life of me.

I used the new MoYou Festive plate 21 which I ordered the day it was released. I am way too into St. Patrick's Day to let that one wait. 

I love the smaller shamrocks. They are so cute.

I absolutely love the quality of the MoYou plates. I swear I need to win the lottery so I can buy all the things. I think I would probably buy all of the MoYou plates. They work so well and I have never had an issue with any of the ones I have. 

That's all for now :)
