My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, Rarity Nails.

When I was young I never liked My Little Pony, I thought the cartoon was scary looking and never got into playing with the toys. I was more of a Barbie playing girl.
A while ago I was trying to find something that would maybe get my 2 year old's attention, and came across the new My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic on Hub. And it didn't take long before she said "COW" lol, that's her first choice word when it gets to guessing an animal. So mommy had to explain, those are horses not cows. Didn't take her long to say horse when ever she saw the ponies.
I was shocked in a good way how good the new MLP series are, the characters are cute looking. And it's not just for 5 year old little girls. *PHEW* You get some funny scenes and some pop culture references aimed for the older than 5 viewers, in quite a few episodes.  Here they're fond of Pinkie Pie & Rainbow Dash the most. Anyways, I wanted to do a manicure inspired by one of the characters. So I thought it would be easiest to start with Rarity.

Items used for this manicure.

I used Julie G's White Orchid and Color Club Wild At Heart (thumb nail) as base color. On the thumb over Wild At Heart I made thin stripes with a nail art brush and Maybelline Color Show Amethyst Ablaze.

For the images I found them both on Nailz Craze NC 02. I used the rainbow image for the main and tail and  the unicorn image. I used Amethyst Ablaze for most of the stamping and then Konad Special polish in White for the unicorn image. Then I picked 3 blue diamond shaped rhinestones to use as Rarity's cutie mark on ring finger nail.  And sealed it in with Poshe's fast drying top coat.

My youtube stamping tutorial.

Final Look.

Can't really see the stripes over the purple holo polish...

Was so hard trying to take  a picture so you could see the beautiful effect it made.

I wanted to make a Rarity manicure that didn't look too childish, you know. But still see it's a Rarity inspired look for grownup ladies??? LOL.....

Hope you all will have a great summer weekend!!

Happy Stamping

Preview of new plate from Nailz Craze.

Natalie the sweet girl behind the NC plates has made a new plate. This one is called the Glam plate. It looks really nice and just screams GLAM and BLING.  I so have to add this plate to my collection.

If you are interested in buying any of the NC plates you can find them here:

Oh, no there's an important notice from Natalie:


IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read:
Ladies, I have very bad news, I hope you will bare with me and be patient and understanding.
I'm currently reviewing the stock to see which plats are left and check them out for defects, and I discovered that I have unimaginable amount of defected plate. I know it's also my fault that I just put them out for sale before reviewing them all, but I've never had so many defected plates before. It looks like no one even checked them at the factory and just sent a bunch of badly made plates my way.
I wouldn't want to send bad or defected products to you, just as I wouldn't want to get them myself.
At the moment I have many orders that were already made but I don't have the plats to send to some of you.
I can't even start to describe haw bad I feel about this. I feel really guilty but mainly I feel bad for disappointing you. I know a lot of you have been expecting these plates for a long time, and now another wait will look like forever.
I hope you can understand this situation I'm in and know I will do my best to set things right as soon as possible. Most of the orders will be shipped in the next few days, but some of you will have to wait longer to get their plates, or accept a full refund for your purchase. I will be contacting those who made the last orders in the next 24 hours to let you know your options.
For now the store it closed until I figure out which plates are left.
Once again, I'm very sorry about this situation and I will do my best to solve this.
Thank you.
Natalie

Nailz Craze 2 Cloud Image.

Last night I saw Natalie the sweet girl  who designed the NC plates made a video on the cloud image on this plate. I only tested it when  I got the plate a while back, and I used my plastic scraper. And couldn't get the full image. In the video Natalie shows how you the full cloud image, so I decided to try this out. And do a video using different scrapers and how they work on this image. The scrapers I used: Konad metal scraper, my plastic scraper I got from Dashica (my fav. I use it all the time.) and the card I got in my Cheeky Summer collection.

Needless to say, I won't have any problems using this image. Thank you, Natalie for the tip and your amazing video.

If you want to look at Natalie's plates you can now find them here:

Thank you for stopping by.
