So I know these aren't exactly poinsettias, but I think they kind of look like them and I sticking with it :)

holiday kittens!

The kitty stamp that I used for this mani is from one of my Shany plates; it's so much sassier than  Konads :)

let it snow

I'm not usually one for holiday themed mani's but I do love snowflakes! I'll probably feel different in about a month or so, but right now it looks so beautiful outside <3

nail party in cutesville!

Two of my (self proclaimed) "biggest fans" came over today for a nail party! New to the magic of nail stamping, it's fair to say that it was pretty much love at first sight.
Thanks for an awesome afternoon ladies <3

first up is E-flo: classic leopard + bling = dope

next, Rza: 10 different designs like you've never seen before (check out the unicorn with an upside down cowboy hat on the left thumb)

last but not least, cutesville:

vine design

The base color for this mani is OPI's Road House Blues and it is such a fantastic purple/blue shade. Although it looks black in the pictures, natural light really brings out the color. I used another Shany plate - this one is actually duplicated in the set that I bought! I'm not complaining though, they're still my favorite so far :)

light as a feather

Another Shany mani ;)

don't give up the ship!

I really like these new plates from Shany, I can only find one set of them online which is a bit disappointing because they actually work better than some of my more expensive plates.
I used the anchor from plate SH09 and the criss-cross from plate SH23.

pink clouds

Tonights mani was inspired by this poster that I found on pinterest. I love the colors, even though I switched the gray for navy blue ;) I used two plates tonight, SH-25 and M-79.

old fashioned

I used another plate from Shany and I am really impressed with how clear the designs come out :)

Moroccan blue

I got another 24 image plates in the mail today! I think I'll have to adjust my challenge to 30 days of stamping or I'll be doing this for months! I've never heard of this company and it was only $14.99 for the set so I was a little unsure of what the quality might be like, but the are actually pretty decent. Here is a link to them on Amazon:
