Lush Shoot for the Stars bath bomb inspired nail art

Hey guys! Here is more on my Lush Shoot for the Stars Mani as promised! My mom has been visiting this week and I thought I'd still maintain my blog schedule but I wound up just taking the time off the hang with her! I've also (unrelated) lost my voice! I'd love any suggestions on how to cure laryngitis....vocal rest is not an option!!




The base color is my beloved OPI Ogre the Top Blue, which I vowed to steal from a friend until I found my own. Actually, I think I ordered it from Amazon! It's fairly hard to find now. The gold stamping is (obviously) OPI 50 Years of Style and a light coating of China Glaze Fairy Dust, of course!


I swear it matches more in real life than in this pic! If you missed my review of the amazing Shoot for the Stars bath bomb you can see it HERE. 





This is my typical process, I practice stamping *alot* before on my nails. I wasn't sure how well the gold would show up over the dark blue. 






For the individual stars I used the Pueen Double Fun 01 plate, which just came out recently! I also wound up taking my Pueen clear stamper head out of the holder. It hasn't been wanting to stay in there lately so I just took it out.  I did order this shorter stamper which seems to be holding in the head in a little better but not 100%.




This is the MoYou plate I used for the shooting star nail. The Moyou plates are so different from the Pueen...the designs are much greater in detail and  definitely still getting the hang of it! 



Here's another look at the whole Double Fun plate. It's meant for layering images with different colors. This plate has so much potential!!

I just love the way this looked in the sun but because it was so sparkly you kind of lose the design! Dang you, sparkles!

Rock Star Baby Shower Cake

Hey Yall! Blogger is finally up and I finally have a few minutes, albeit while the boys are recreating the Indy 500 with their fire trucks in the playroom while I'm on my new mini-laptop (yay)....I'm gonna try to get some of the cakes I've made in the past month up! First up is the baby shower cake. It is half vanilla with vanilla buttercream and half chocolate with chocolate buttercream. I wonder how many pieces they had to cut to find some on both halves, because after I got the fondant on I had no idea where the division was! I asked for a picture of the bedding so I could have something to coordinate with. The only request was the cake flavors, so I could come up with anything! Here's the result.... I modeled the top like the bass drum and made panels around the sides to depict other scenes in the bedding. I'm pretty happy with my guitar...I totally free-handed cut that out. I've stated several times before...I'm not an artist, so that was a pretty big d...

Disney Cruise Nails 2017

Image
Hello fellow land dwelling friends! We are back from our vacation where we went on another Disney Cruise! We have done a few now and they have been the best trips our family has ever been on. This was our first voyage on one of the classic ships. Can not recommend enough! This was the longest cruise we have done, and I took the most footage ever. It will take me a little bit to sort through it all! I plan on several blog posts and a video. I can't decide whether to divide it up by day or category (food, entertainment, ports, etc) so I'm open to any and all suggestions! I'm starting today with the mani I created and wore the whole time! I was really indecisive about what to do, and therefore waited until the last minute to do these nails and was up entirely too late the night before we left! Once I finally decided on a color palette this is what followed, 2 hours later!
