Monkey See Monkey Do Monday: Re-Vamp!

 The Purple Crumpet Fairy Presents: Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays!

Polishes used:

Desire- OPI

Black Satin- Rimmel

Warning: A picture heavy post!

I recently borrowed a bottle of the ever sought after Desire from the Designer Series from OPI. (Seriously, that bottle goes for freakin $40 on ebay! WHA?!) And there wasn't no-dang-way I was taking it off before I have to, so I decided to MSMD myself! (Wait, that sounds awful...)

My my inspiration was a MSMD mani from a few months ago:

                                     Step 1.                                                              Step 2.

 I loved it way more at step 1, but felt I had to add the second colour because I didn't want to do a half assed MSMD so I told myself I would resurrect this puppy at some point. (There original post can be found here.) The original post also shows how I did the manicure. 

Some more pictures of this weeks MSMD:

 And here are some pictures of just Desire:

Man don't you just love it!?

Mesmerize Stamped

Polishes used:

Mesmerize- Essie

White Konad stamping polish

+

Bundle Monster plate #201

A quick combo of a new blue I acquired and a stamp I have been meaning to try. I love the results, very eye catching!

And here is sweet Poodle watching me take pictures of my hands like a crazy lady. : )

MSMD Kermit Edition!

The Purple Crumpet Fairy Monkey See Monkey Do Monday!

 Polishes used:

Wild Thing- Pure Ice

Red Flare- Orly

OPI On Collins Ave- OPI

Black Konad polish

White Konad polish

 Inspiration for this cartoon manicure came from Sonoma Nail Art. She did a fantastic manicure with shading on Kermit and everything that I knew I would never be able to compete with, so I tried to do a simpler version of her manicure. I wasn't thrilled with the results (because I am a damned perfectionist) but I did fall for the colour!

Rally Pretty Pink!

 Polishes used:

Rally Pretty Pink- OPI

Black Art Deco 

Gold Art Deco

 Just a really simple one. Rally Pretty Pink is a great two toned shimmer. One of my favorite parts of using long art brushes for nail art is that you don't have to wait for the base colour to dry entirely before playing around!

Revlon Fashionista

Polishes used:

Fashionista- Revlon

Gold Coin- Revlon

 +

Bundle monster plate #206

Gold Coin is a seriously thick gold polish, so I decided to try it as a stamping polish and it turned out pretty well. I am completely in love with this shade of blue, it's super classy.

Monkey See Monkey Do- White and Silver Glitter

The Pruple Crmpet Fairy Presents:  Monkey See Monkey Do Mondays!

Polishes used:

Whirlwind White- Sally Hansen Insta-Dry
Shine Of The Times- Essie

Twinkle Twinkle- Love & Beauty

So my inspiration once again came from Pinterest. It is a stunning manicure done by Maegan that can be found here.

Neon Obsession!

Polishes used:

Hot Stuff- Claire's

 I seriously could not take my eyes off my nails with this colour on. It was amazing and vibrant. The pictures are a bit "off" from the true colour since neon seems to give my camera an aneurism. In any event, here is a picture of the taped finger for the lightning bolt:

  I simply cut  5 pieces of tape into triangles with sharp points and arranged them to look like a lightning bolt. Remember when you are doing a tape manicure to fully let your base colour dry , and to peel off the tape about 10 seconds after you paint on your second colour to get the sharpest lines possible!

I'm Fondue of Gold Coins!

Polishes used:

I'm Fondue Of You- OPI

Gold Coin- Revlon

Really simple little mani with some classic colours. The swirl is just free-hand with a long tipped paint brush.
