I bought this pretty pale blue at Wal-Mart after seeing it swatched on a blog. I had no idea that it was so shimmery! I don't think the shimmer really shows up in the photo, but it's there. Then I stamped it with this cool color-flipping polish that Keri loaned me. I love how it goes from purple to green to gold. I really like this swirly pattern, too, but it wasn't big enough for my thumb so I had to stamp it twice and then go in with a tiny brush to connect it. I think it looks messy, but I'm not too disappointed considering that I never freehand anything. LOL It'll do. 😃

I decided...

to go for this metallic silver with my green. Of all the grays, silvers, and golds I have this was the best one (I swatched on paper to be sure). I did this look with tape - super easy. Threw the stones on there for good measure. 😂 Had to make sure it was decorated enough. LOL

Got a new polish yesterday from Walgreen's.

Got a new polish yesterday from Walgreen's.  It's a Maybelline something or other - one of their denims.  I think these are new since I haven't seen them before.  Without topcoat it really does resemble denim, but I had to topcoat these because of the stamping.  Which, btw, I know that my stamping is not great here.  I am wayyy out of practice and not only that, it was like, 3 am when I was working on these.

And I started doing one thing, then Shaun had a good idea, so I scrapped that and started a few nails over, then didn't like them, and did them over AGAIN.  I bet I did each nail twice to get them to even look like they do.  It was an ORDEAL.  I was so frustrated by the time I was done.  😂  I do like how they turned out, though.  And I REALLY like that blue color.  I might have to snag another bottle of it, just in case.
