Mani Monday: Moar Drunk Stamping! Revenge of the Stamper....

*purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
    Welcome back to another installment of Mani Monday! Today I am featuring a lovely polish from Literary Lacquers, Lake of Shining Waters. Due to being drunk from my stamping success last week I decided to go ahead and stamp again. Because with one success there has to be another right??

Cause one success equals an automatic success right?

  I love Literary Lacquers Lake of Shining Waters is a gorgeous teal linear holographic polish so of course white would pop fantastically against it. So I painted my nails with Lake of Shining Waters and I was like...

This polish totally looked AMAZING.

  And then I had the dilemma that I wanted to stamp on top of this polish..

Technically, it wasn't repainting my nails but the stamper was steadily giving me shots of courage.. 

    So, I finally decided to go ahead a stamp on top of this polish I was drunk with stamping courage so with tears in my eyes I took up the stamper with a mission to make this polish look fabulous.

I was both nervous and drunk with stamping anticipation...

    Then I picked up the stamper and then the stamper betrayed me...

My stamper totally acted like this towards me. 

   While this polish is truly amazing, my stamping is not. While it is a learning curve....

Just look at the polish and not focus on my craptacular stamping...

  You will also have to forgive the crappy indoor lighting. It has been raining for two days straight so I don't have any awesome natural light to capture the beautiful holo effect.

I used :

Nail Trek II

Lake of Shining Waters from Literary Lacquers (2 coats)

White Stamping Polish from the BornPrettyStore (used KLH10 for a discount)

Bundle Monster Plate 212

Get Your Shine On! Fast Drying Top Coat from Vapid Laquer   

While this isn't as bad as some of my other stamping attempts I really wished that I had put the stamper down and left this polish alone cause it is simply beautiful.

Mani Monday: Catch a Star Featuring Vapid Lacquer

*I Bought This*

Hello Lovelies!
   It was a crazy and sad week with the passing of my parents' dog due to Sego Palm poisoning so I wasn't able to do another post. However, I am back with another Mani Monday installment, this time I am featuring some new polishes from Vapid Lacquer. I have to say Vapid Lacquer makes truly EPIC holo polishes and I needed to pick up some more since I can never have enough sparkly goodness. So I picked up three minis (two holos and one duochrome which I will share with you at another time) and some of her bath goodies to try out and review. The two polishes that I am featuring today, Catch Me If You Can and Star Stuff, caught my eye and I knew that I needed to have them on my nails immediately. Catch Me If You Can is described as a "teal polish with a TON of linear holo" on the site. I just think it is the perfect combination of blue and green, and what I would consider on the dark end of the teal spectrum, with holo-y goodness thrown in. Now Star Stuff is described on the site as "stunning bright silver packed with linear holo". This polish is purely epic. It is a lovely silver when you are wearing it indoors but when the sun hits it, Star Stuff is a holo explosion which makes me think of disco balls coming out of the corner and drag queens running to sing Abba on my fingernails. While I love Catch Me If You Can, I  REALLY LOVE Star Stuff (possible borderline obsession really)  and I need to order a full size in hopes that drag queens will ambush me and sing Abba when the sun hits this polish. I mean seriously on a crappy over cast day I was still able to get this awesome holo shot (and NONE of my indoor shots would do this justice).

  So needless to say these two polishes are simply gorgeous so if you want or NEED to pick them up you can do so HERE. You can also follow her on her Facebook Page as well were she posts games where you can win some awesome goodies from her store. Hope you enjoyed this installment of Mani Monday!

Until Next Time lovelies!
