My First Saran Wrap Mani.

I haven't done a saran wrap manicure before. But it's this week's Sunday challenge in AIS so decided to try it out. Yes, I know it's not Sunday yet, but wanted to get this one done in good time for once, lol. I grabbed the roll of saran wrap from the kitchen, and tore off some pieces and curled them up.
I have been all into purple and mint this summer, but I still wanted to do a white and lavender mani for this.
So I applied a couple of coats of Sally Hansen Lacey Lavender and Julie G's White Orchid. And waited for it to dry completely before I moved on to the saran wrap stage. Before I started I watched a youtube tutorial on how to do this, since I'm a saran wrap nail virgin.... LOL. So I did as they showed, one nail at the time. Applied Lacey Lavender over White Orchid and grabbed a curled up ball of saran wrap and started dabbing my nail gently while the polish was still wet. And moved on to the next nail armed with a new ball of saran wrap and polish. I have to say, I really liked the look.

So much in fact that I didn't feel like stamping over it.... But since AIS is a stamping group, I have to do some stamping. So I looked at all of my plates and I was searching for something simple. I didn't want to loose the effect of the saran wrapped base.... But then my eyes landed on one of my FUN plates, FUN 12 and decided to use that plate. So I grabbed my Konad special polish in Black, my stamper and scraper and got to work.... I only stamped two nails this time.

Baby Phat nails.

Baby Phat thumb.

Now, it's time for me to make Italian meatballs for dinner. Yup, feeling very Italian mama today.... LOL.
Have a great day/night where ever you are in the world.

Happy stamping.

"FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN!!"

These days it's a lot of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic in this home. And  for this post I thought of quoting Pinkie Pie: "Fun, fun, fun, fun" Reason? Because I got my first Fun plates from Fab Ur Nails. My fellow nail stamping friend Kerrie mentioned that there was going to be a new Fun plate in the making but there was some room for more images so if I had any ideas I could send it to her and she would  send them in for me. So I fired off a few images, but when I was done I had a bunch of other image suggestions hit me. So I sent a PM to Fab Ur Nails and sent a few emails with A LOT of image suggestions, and yes there was A LOT of images in each email. I had so much fun searching for the images, and I see how these ladies who makes these plates now say it takes a lot of time. Just searching for the images I realized you just can't use the first one you spot.

I haven't tried any of these plates before, they have been on my wish list. There has been a few images that I would love to have in my collection that can only be found on Fun plates. After chatting on facebook for a while about the images I sent, I told her that I couldn't wait to see the images on the new plate. And I told her  I'm hoping I'll get some birthday money this year, so I can buy my first Fun plates (was a few that caught my eye of the ones released last month).
 Then the lovely Fab Ur Nails said I could pick 4 plates as thanks for ALL the images I sent her. Needless to say I was shocked, and I felt like I had just won the Jackpot in the lottery. Thank you, Fab Ur Nails you truly made my week. Then came the hardest part picking the plates I wanted. There is no secret I love Hello Kitty, so I had to pick the 2 Hello Kitty plates Fun 9 and Fun 10, then I picked Fun 11 for one image that I just WANTED because my oldest son has been a Link fan since he was 3 years old. So I knew I needed that one Zelda image..... I know it's nuts to pick a plate with just one image, and no I have done it a few times now..... LOL. The last plate I picked was Fun 12 for all the polish names and brand logos. And the image Nail Mail, hehehe.

I have seen so many great nails with Fab Ur Nails images on them, there are a few ladies in AIS who says that these are their favorite plates. I can't wait to try them out. But first let's just do a quick first look at the plates.

They have good backing, so the edges aren't sharp.

Fun 9 and the plastic peeled off very easy.

So many cute HK images.

 Fun 10

Even more cute HK images.

Fun 11 can you see the Zelda logo??? The only reason why I picked this plate. Nuts.

Fun 12

If you want to buy these plates there are only 2 ways to get your hands on all the plates from Fab Ur Nails, I will link them below.

If you buy them from Fab Ur Nails they will ship from Manila, Philippines. Was about 1 1/2 week for the plates to get from there to me in SLC. Not bad at all.

I will try and do stamping tests of these this weekend. But it's also my second son's birthday on Sunday. So if I can't get them all done this weekend I will get it done during next week. So look out for those posts and videos.

Lastly I want to thank the lovely Fab Ur Nails for sending me these plates. So sweet of her to let me pick these plates. She her self is an amazing stamper, she has inspired me quite a few times with her amazing talent. Just check out the facebook page and you can see for your self.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
