Holographic Stars Stamping

Hi There

I have just received a bunch of new China Glaze holographic polishes and just couldn't wait to test them out.

I started this manicure with my usual base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails and this also doubles as my base colour on 2 of my nails
I then put nail tip guides on my index and ring fingers and painted the tip with China Glaze OMG A UFO (a beautiful green holo). I also painted my full thumb,middle finger and little finger in the same colour

 I then used Mo You London Pro Collection plate 05
I used the top left star image and stamped this on my thumb, middle and little fingers I also used the image on the second row in the middle to stamp on my index and ring fingers. Unfortunately the image was a bit small so I didn't get full coverage on my thumb as they are rather large, but I still love the end result.
This is the finished design

Home Made Decal Stamping Mani

Hi There

Today I am so excited, I have managed to do my first ever home made decal and it looks pretty good too to say it's my first one.

To start I used Sally Hansen Hard As Nails for my base coat. I then painted all my nails except the ring finger in Models Own Bubblegum(a bright matte pink colour). I painted my ring finger with Sinful Colors Snow Me White
Whilst my nails were drying I got my decal ready. I started with a sheet of plastic and made a square out of top coat big enough to cover my nail in this case my ring finger I used for this In a hurry air dry top coat(don't know what brand it is but it has a fancy A on the label)
I then left this to dry I have drawn a line around this as it is hard to see. When dry I stamped the heart image from Mo You London Pro Collection 05
I stamped this using Licorice by Essie
I then coloured in alternative hearts with a nail art brush to make a pattern using Models Own Bubblegum , I also wanted to see the background colour through the decal. Don't worry about going out of the lines you won't be able to see this on the finished decal as the hearts are a lighter colour than the background colour.

 I then put this to one side to dry. When completely dry (which doesn't take long) I used a pair of tweezers to remove the decal from the plastic and put 1 coat of top coat on my ring finger. I then placed the decal on the nail smoothing it out from the centre to make sure that there were no creases and put a coat of top coat over it. This makes the outer edges of the decal shrink. I then used a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover to clean up my cuticles. My very last step was to put a matte topcoat over all the nails.
This is the finished design

Happy Valentines Day Stamping

Hi There

Valentines day is almost upon us (bah humbug) so I thought that I would do a valentine mani

I started with my usual base coat Sally Hansen As Hard As Nails and then applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Plums The Word.
I then used image plate O
And this image
I then stamped this in red which is by Golden Rose (but there is no name an image of the bottle is on the finished design) on my thumb and ring finger. I then used plate YH808
Using this image
I stamped this image on my index and little fingers. I then used Pueen plate 43

I stamped the image on the right onto my middle finger using Essie's Licorice
This is the finished mani (sorry was in a rush and didn't have time to clean my cuticle area properly)
Just to add my mum saw the YH808 plate and loved the hearts that I did on my index and little fingers and asked me if I could stamp them on her nails, of course I said yes. She already had on 2 coats of OPI's Care To Danse. I used Nails inc's Tate (a bright red colour) to stamp the hearts on all of her nails. My mum loved it here is the finished mani.

Yorkshire Rose Stamping

Hi There

I thought that since my blog was called Yorkshire Rose Nail Art, that I should maybe do a Yorkshire Rose manicure.

For this design I used my usual base coat Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. I then painted all the nails with 3401 from Bourjois Paris. There is no name on the bottle so I have added a photo
I then stamped using Mo You London plate Pro Collection 04
I used the rose image (bottom middle) and stamped in Claire's Accessories white stamping polish on my ring finger only
This is the finished mani

Flower Stamping

Hi There

Today I have done a flowery mani.

I started with my usual base coat Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails. Followed by 1 coat of Barry M Chameleon Lilac
I then stamped all my nails using MoYou salon pro plate VI
 I stamped using this flowery design (the one in the middle)

 I stamped using white polish from Claire's Accessories and Models Own in Pukka Purple (a matte varnish). I placed each colour diagonally across the image and then used an orange stick to blend the 2 colours together in the middle then scraped and stamped.
Here is the finished mani

Magnetic Animal Print Stamping

Hi There

Today I have decided to do a manicure using  magnetic nail varnish

I have put on my usual base coat Sally Hansen Hard As Nails and 1 coat of Barry M magnetic nail varnish in Magnetic Burgundy on all my nails and then used the magnet on the top to do the diagonal stripes pattern.
I then used the zebra print on the moyou salon pro VI plate to stamp my thumb and ring finger using white stamping polish from Claire's Accessories.
As I am unable to stop fiddling with things, I thought that the zebra print was a bit too white so I used a cheap nail varnish that I got from xtras in number 57 (sorry this doesn't have a name). It is a pink jelly varnish with glitter and painted all my fingers with it. It makes the zebra stripes pink and adds a bit of sparkle.

Here is the finished mani
