Manicures from years past.  :)

Today I'm sharing a manicure that I Instagrammed and Facebooked, but never shared here on the blog. 

This is two coats of OPI Just Spotted the Lizard stamped with DRK-A and BM13 plates.

Butterflies

Another quick stamping manicure to keep my nails from being naked.

I used two coats of Essie Bangle Jangle as my base then stamped butterflies on top using Zoya Rory and plate DRK-A.  The final effect was very subtle was a distance, and actually rather subtle up close.  I could tell that my nails had a bit of a shimmer but couldn't really make out the shapes.  I'd rate this manicure as a solid "meh," but it was effective at keeping my nails from being naked so it gets points there.  I took it off when I got home from work.

How long would you keep on a "meh" manicure?

Circles

I was looking for a quick manicure here, something to keep my nails from going naked at work.  I selected two polishes that I hadn't worn before and used my new stamping plate to create the design below.

For my base I used two coats of China Glaze Pelican Grey.  I was very surprised by this polish.  I thought it was a plain, dull grey - but it's not!  It has a lovely shimmer going on.  I then stamped the circle image from plate DRK-A using Zoya Zuza.  I love Zuza...I don't love how it stained my nails when I wore it as a solid color.  It's been relegated to just a stamping or accent polish now.
