Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays: Mustaches & Monocles!

Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays are where we re-create manis from different blogs or pictures we have "pinned" on Pinterest, and link back to the original blogger!

Shhhh! No, I have no idea what you are talking about. Part of this mani so doesn't look familiar! ;) Hahaha! (please see this post) So I decided to recycle a mani a bit. Shhh! :) I used China Glaze Agent Lavender as the base. Konad Black and plate QA28. I then used Color Club French Tip and Wet 'N Wild Black Cream for the monocles.

I was inspired by Samariums Swatches mani: Mustaches & Monocles! (please click the post title or the image to be taken to her site).

I love this mani a ton and it was a blast to recreate it! It's so fun and full of whimsy and awesomeness! Yep, awesomeness! :)

Thank you Samariums Swatches for making such an awesome mani! :)

Adventures in Stamping: Inspired by Something You Love = Owls and Mustachios!

Well, hello there Adventures in Stamping! It's been a month and a bit since I participated! Whoops! But I could not pass up this theme: Inspired by something you love! And, um, hello, what do I love? Owls and mustachios! Grr with the crooked mustachios.......I mean I meant that and he is doing the little mustache twitching! ;) It's so hard to line it up just right. I need a see-through stamper! :)

Now, this mani is all full of stuff I love. My base color is Orly Nite Owl. This is my favorite polish! (hence it being in the middle in my header photo!) Love love love it! Applies wonderfully! Then I stamped the owls using Barry M Silver Foil and Bundle Monster BM 309. This is the best silver ever to stamp with! Love it too! And then I stamped the mustachios using Konad Black and QA28. And this black is ah-mazing! Love it!

That's a whole lotta love going on huh! Yep it is! I hope you don't mind the mustachios and that you aren't sick of seeing them.......tomorrow is one more chance to see them! Shhh! ;)

Here is Orly Nite Owl is all it's splendor! This is two thin coats! Lurve it! A nude with a silvery shimmer, um yes please! :)

China Glaze Agent Lavender in Disguise!

So I wanted to do a mani today and was having troubles coming up with an idea. So I pulled out China Glaze Agent Lavender and was about to put glitter on it but stopped as I saw my new stamping plates. What better than to use mustachios and have China Glaze Agent Lavender in disguise! Hahahaha! ;)

This is a pale purple/blurple creme. Mine was a bit runny and flooded my cuticles a bit but acetone and a brush cleaned it up with no problems! This is two coats of Agent Lavender.

I used Konad Black to stamp my mustachios using stamping plate QA28 that I got from ebay.

This one is slightly less true to color, this is more blue than in real life; but this is a direct sun picture.

Well, with his disguises, would you be able to tell who Agent Lavender was? ;)
