NOTD: Essie Sew Psyched + bm04

Is it green?  Is it grey?  It's Essie Sew Psyched =)  Stamping done with China Glaze Devotion & Bundle Monster plate bm04 - the leaves are kind of more fall than spring, but I just wanted to use them for some reason:

 

Thanks for reading.

Guest NOTD: Mom's 2nd Konad (Sally Girl Periwinkle + bm03)

I thought this was so pretty, and it was hilarious because Mom was nitpicking it the way I normally would my own - she was frustrated with trying to exactly center the circular design, and also with the fact that some flowers had the petals pointed towards her tips, and some had the leaves pointed towards the tips.  Base color is Sally Girl Periwinkle (from a recent haul yet to be posted), stamping done with Nubar Unfaithful Red & plate bm03:

 

And as she's wearing this, she says to me, "So I already have an idea for my next mani ..."  LOL!

 

Thanks for reading =)

Guest NOTD: Sally Hansen Sequin Scandal (+ bm03)

Mom asked me to recommend a polish to match her outfit that she wore to the Ash Wednesday service - it was gold, and I thought I could match it but I couldn't - so I went dark instead & she liked my choice of Sally Hansen Sequin Scandal:

 

After a few days she wanted to change it up a bit with some shamrocks for St. Patrick's day - and I am SO PROUD of her.  I told her I would Konad her if she didn't wait too late, but she wanted it done right as I was finishing editing my latest tutorial, so I asked her if she wanted to do her own.  I was a little wary ... as you know there can be quite a learning curve for Konad.  But I sent her off with image plate bm03, stamper, scraper & China Glaze Passion, and after I while she came back to show me this:

 

 

Excellent placement!  Only using part of the stamp for most of her nails! And double-stamping on her thumbs!  All of her own initiative =)  A really good first konadicure.  Yay mom!  I am so proud of her LOL.  Thanks for reading.

NOTD: Finger Paints Just Plum Fun + bm03

From the Finger Paints Winter Dreams holiday collection, this is Just Plum Fun - accent stamping done with China Glaze Admire & Bundle Monster plate bm03:

 

It reminded me a lot of last year's OPI Visions of Sugarplum, but VoS has more sparkle to it which brings out a bit more brightness in the plum purple.

 

Been busy, but still trying to find time to smell the flowers & all that jazz =)  Here's yesterday's sunset out of my window, rather picturesque:

 

 

Thanks for reading.
