Tropical Nails For Challenge

Next theme for #glamnailschallengejuly is tropical. I wanted something a little different besides the usual palm trees. 

I started out with a super bright base of Cirque Color's Retail Therapy and Euphoria in a gradient. Once I had my base down I stamped the negative space flip flops from Uber Chic Beauty Beach Please plate with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Sea Creatures

There are so many plates out there with all types of sea creatures that you'll never have the same look twice. It is a very busy mani but I just love all the colors and the gradient is my favorite. 

My base gradient is made up of Essie's St. Tropez and Zoya's Harbor. I am a little rusty when it comes to gradients but I will just keep practicing. 

The white waves are from BM-509 with Mo You White Knight. On my thumb the jellyfish is stamped from UberChic Beach Please with Mo You August Plum and Pink Wednesday. Narwal on pointer is from UberChic mini nautical with Black Knight. Sea Horse is August Plum from Beach Please. Hammerhead shark is from mini nautical again with Black Knight. The sea turtle is from Mo You Princess 04 with Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery.

Hibiscus Nails

I was really hoping that it would be a more noticeable difference for my gradient but these are still pretty. 

The hot pink is Blushing Queens and the coral is Bam both by Cirque Colors. I did put a white base down just to make them more vibrant. 

UberChic Beauty's plate Nice & Negative plate has the perfect hibiscus negative space stamp. I used Mo You London Black Knight to stamp.

Floral Chevrons

Another new Zoya Summer polish is Jessica. Its a bluish medium purple. It was a little patchy on the first coat but second gave it full opacity and smoothed out the ridges. 

The chevrons are from UberChic's Got Chevrons plate and stamped with MoYou Londons Periwinkle. 

The flowers are from Maniology M019 and done with MoYou White Knight. 

Glisten and Glow top coat for the super shiny finish.

Jaws Nails

This has got to be my favorite mani I have done in a very very long time. I have been shying away from gradients and now that's all I want to do.

I recently ordered some of the new Zoya summer collection and the two blues just screamed ocean to me. The bright turquoise, which is undoubtedly my favorite, is called Harbor while the deeper blue is Maren.

The shark design on the new Uberchic Beauty Just Beachy plate is just perfect for Jaws nails. 

The grey is Mo You London Silver Fox, the black is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, the white is Mo You White Knight, and I added the red last minute which is Cirque Colors Strawberry Fields.

Sapphire Jewels

I brought out my absolute favorite blue in my collection for a little bright cheerfulness with all the rain we have been getting here lately.

China Glaze's I Sea The Point is the most stunning cobalt blue there is. I have been searching high and low for another polish this color as mine is a little old.

I pulled out another oldie but goodie, Essie's No Place Like Chrome for my stamping.

I can't seem to stay away from my Uber Chic plates and today is no exception. I used 1-03 for these shiny jewel style looking nails.

This blue is so hard to capture true color on camera and even with editing it still is hard. I tried to get it as true to color as possible. Of coarse the only top coat I use is Glisten and Glow's.

Valentine’s Cupcakes

I’m still a bit rusty and working on getting back into stamping. I’m going for more simple then elaborate looks but these cupcakes are still cute as can be. I may have to make some real life ones for Friday.

Painted Polish’s Red As Cherry Pie is the perfect base with its shiny red glitter.

The cupcakes are stamped with Painted Polish’s Stamped in Pink with the UberChic Love and Marriage 02 plate.

The candied heart is filled in with KB Shimmer’s Eye White Open, the icing is KB Shimmer’s Grin and Gerbera It, and the base is Color Club’s Feathered Hair Out To There.

As always I finished it off with Glisten & Glow top coat. I did use two coats because the cupcakes were a little thicker from filling them in and I wanted a smooth finish.

Hedgehog Love

Well, it’s been a very long time. I am trying to get back into my love of all things nail art. I figured what better way then to start with cute Valentine’s Day nails.


I’m a bit rusty so my stamping isn’t as good as it used to be and I need a new white stamping polish but overall I think these are adorable.


I started with two layers of Color Club’s Je Taime before going in with UberChic plate 6-02 for the the swirls.


The cute hedgehog is from UberChic love and marriage 02. I stamped with black and filled in using Opi Samoan Sand for his stomach, Orly Prince Charming for his spikes, and Opi Quarter of a Cent-Cherry for the heart.


Of coarse I am still using my beloved Glisten and Glow top coat.

Painted Polish Chasing Rainbows

I am not sure that after using Painted Polish's crellies I really want to try another brand. Something about her formula just glides on without having to really manipulate the glitters.

I did three coats of Chasing Rainbows to really pack on the glitter and make sure the white was opaque. The red and blue glitters stuck out the most to me so I wanted to incorporate those colors into my nail art. I used UberChic's 3-03 plate for the stamp with Opi's Quarter of a Cent-Cherry. I will say that the red came out more pink when it was stamped but that's ok. The jewels are from a set I got off of Amazon from Cheeky years ago. I did use a little nail glue to make sure they really stuck before I used Hk Girl top coat to finish my nails off.
