Alchemy Lacquers Argentum

While I'd love to do nail art that take three hours all the time, I just don't have the time for that most nights. A lot of times, due to the limited amount of time I have to do my nails as I might only have half an hour or maybe an hour at the most, they are simple polishes and easy stamping and while they turn out good for me to wear out there in real life, they just aren't that exciting for blogging.  (But I share them anyway lol). This is one of those rare times that the basic polish and the basic stamping just clicked and turned out to be a pretty cool mani...in my eyes anyway!  Here's what I came up with!


Started out with two coats of Alchemy Lacquers Argentum, no top coat.  I love polishes like this; the addition of the flakies add interest to the base for stamping with no layering, not having to worry about heavy glitter removal, etc.  


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using an image from Creative Shop 18 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight.

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani!

I wasn't too keen on this mani when I first did it but it's kinda grown on me since!  I think it's because of the mustard stamping polish doesn't quite go colour wise but after a while, I didn't mind it too badly!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of Alchemy Lacquers Guanxi and Pahlish Hufflepuff.  Love, love, love both of these!  Don't they just look like they are to be worn together?


Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using all the same image from Bunny Nails HD-B using Mdu 7 and 46.

While I didn't mind this, it was just lacking something to me so I added a few random white dots.  Not sure if I liked it any better though!


Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


In case you were wondering about either one of these polishes staining your nails, there were no issues!  All I used for a base was my regular base of one coat of Duri Rejuvacote.


Digit-al Dozen week is next week and can you believe I have 0 mani's done?  I'm never this behind; I usually have 3 or more mani's done before the challenge starts and then do the remaining ones early in the week so I do see a mani marathon this weekend!  It's a hard challenge; I'm sure that's why I'm behind so wish me luck!

Thanks for looking!
