Spring-y Floral French Mani

I started out with THIS MANI that I showed you late last night.  I knew I needed to add to it and wanted to try something out.  I grabbed my stamping plates and scanned through them.  I finally ended up with Red Angel plate 109.  I'm not sure of the name of the flower that I used, because I know very few flowers by name, but it's pretty!

The pics above were all taken with my cell phone.  I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fuchsia Flare, OPI Done Out In Deco, and China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint and topped it with FrenchTipDip 3 Minute Top Coat.

This was the first time I've stamped with multiple colors and really didn't have many issues.  It went very fast with just a few mistakes.  It's subtle and cute IMO. 

I'll definitely be experimenting more like this.  What do y'all think?

American Manicure with FrenchTipDip

I promised I'd get a post up today & I'm still working on a ton of things.  This is a preview of tomorrow's post.  Or actually, the base of tomorrow's post. 

I had a horrible first time with my FrenchTipDip months ago when I purchased it.  My mani wasn't bad, but I just didn't like it too much.  So, when I purchased the other polish I used along with it I knew I'd have to try it again.

I used to get American Manicures a lot back when I had acrylics.....back when they actually sprayed the white on.  I haven't done any in a while because I love color so much. 

I started off with 1 coat of Nabi Sheer Red(which I'll do a full post on later), then pulled out my FTD kit and tap/wiggled white tips on, brushed another coat of Nabi Sheer Red on, then finished with the FrenchTipDip 3 minute top coat. 

I like how the sheer red is extremely sheer and kills some of the brightness of the white.  I'll definitely be wearing this again.
