Baking Themed Mani f. Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu

Do you bake?  I love to bake....I made an Apple Crumble Pie on Sunday; last night, I made Banana Chocolate Chip Bread....if this trend continues, I think the next thing I'm going to have to make is an appointment at the local gym! 

Anyway, when it came time to do my nails last night, I still had baking on the brain so decided to do a dessert/sweets/baking themed mani...here's what I came up with.

Started with a base of OPI Berlin Done That from the OPI Germany collex.  This is two coats, no topcoat.

Added a coat of Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu and topped with SV.  I can see Tiramisu reflected in this unique polish... so I thought it was an appropriate choice for my baking themed mani!

Stamped sweets are BM 307 (ring finger), SdP C-18 (cupcake on middle), LLC 3 (pie on thumb), BM308 (cupcake on pinky and donut on middle), CH41 (pie on thumb) and DRK-B (index finger) using white Konad special polish.

Looking at my nails, the cupcake on the pinky and the cake on the thumb were just screaming to me...add a cherry on top!  So added some rhinestone 'cherries'.

Topped with SV to finish. 

I seen Fingers Polish Mania is absolutely loving Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu. Her post shows how different Tiramisu looks when layered using different base polishes...if you'd like to see what I'm talking about, please go here. Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu** is available via Oopsie Daisies Etsy store here. 

Oh, and in case you thought I was joking about making banana chocolate chip loaf last night.....I texted this pix to my friend last night right after I had taken them out of the pans....she responded she could smell them over at her place...then wanted to know how soon I'd be over with some for her!  And no, she's not a baker!

Thanks for looking!

**Polish sent for review. Please refer to disclosure policy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada; this is what I've been wearing all long weekend!

Started with skittles of fall appropriate polishes. Going clockwise starting at thumb is L'Oreal The Perfect Trench, China Glaze Desert Sun, OPI Schnapps Out Of It, OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me, and Orly Coffee Break, all two coats.

Image plates used where Blink H50 (turkey on index), Blink H15 (cornucopia), SdP 89 (turkey on middle), HB21 (leaf on ring and thumb), T41 (acorn on index and pumpkin on ring), LLC3 (pie on thumb).

Added a few dots for some colour using assortment of Konad special polishes.

Topped with SV (no pix but first picture). 

Blink H plates can be obtained here.  Nail Art Decoration is located in Indonesia.  When I first contacted them to ask if they would ship to Canada, they responded no, that they only ship within Indonesia.  After emailing them again....begging that they make the plates available for international shipping....they agreed, however, agreed to registered mail and because of this, shipping was on the expensive side.  While I paid $29.20 shipping for 50 plates which is the rate for shipping 1kg or under, I've emailed them a couple times and asked if they would consider a less expensive option for just one plate as I know that other nail fanatics would be interested in just one or two and not necessarily all 50.  They have indicated there is a 500 g shipping option, but I don't know how much that is.  I don't know if it would be cheap enough for just a few plates. I'll update the post if/when I hear back!  The other thing to point out with the plates is that the images are fairly faint; while it is a good stampable image, you have to be quick for transferring and the images are on the smaller side.  The plates themselves weren't terribly expensive at $1.90 each (at least that is what the per plate cost was when I bought all 50 of the Blink H ones.)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian nail friends....hope you had a great long weekend...and thanks for looking!
