Hey There Polished People!
I bet “rug print” really upped all of your expectations, huh? NOT! I don’t know of anyone who wants their nails to look like rugs, but that’s just what this print made me think of. And since it’s on top of this heaven’s sand super smooth and beautiful glitter (aka I’m Not Lion)… it was screaming “rug” to me. If you have a better suggestion (I have no doubt that one of you will) please let me know. Clearly I need some help in the nail-naming department!!
Sparkly Rug Nails
How To Get These Nails:
- Base coat.
- Paint your nails with 2 coats of ChG I’m Not Lion.
- Apply a coat of Seche Vite and allow to dry.
- Use stamp BM315 and Konad special white polish to stamp the design on each nail.
- Try not to stare.
These were so pretty! I loved how the white kind of covered the glitter but left just enough space for the glitter to sparkle through. Just looking at these nails is making me want to wear them again. I think they were prettier in person than in these pics. My camera just can’t/wont capture the scattered holo goodness. Redoing these nails will have to wait- more Bundle Monster stamps are calling my name!!
Do you think these look ruggish like I do? Let me know what you think of these and someone please tell me you’ve bought and loved I’m Not Lion!!! π Thank you all for reading and commenting, I really love and appreciate all the comments. Till next time- Happy Polishing! π
i think it looks a lot like pottery. rugs aren’t usually so shiny! i really like this pattern.
Pottery!! Yes I can see that. Kinda like some Aztec-y old design on clay pottery. Thanks!
I can see where you’re getting rug from. I don’t currently have another suggestion, but they sure are pretty! I will try to steal this color combo once I figure out stamping π
Thanks! If you have any troubles stamping you know me and Cynthia will be happy to help troubleshoot π
Ooh really pretty π
Thank you! Kinda neutral but still sparkly.. I like it. π
They look tribal to me. I like it.
I guess that’s probably what Bundle Monster was going for, huh? Haha. Now that you say that I’m like “duhhh!!!” but I think the intricacy of the pattern and the lack of triangles threw me off. Why tribal designs need triangles in my mind, I do not know. Haha. Thanks for reading and commenting! π
lol it does look like a rug…or those sweaters with the prints on them…haha. It’s gorgeous! I love that stamp with I’m Not Lion! That’s such a great combo…
Thanks. I love that polish so much!! (I’m Not Lion) I really want to wear it again with a different stamp but I keep telling myself, too soon, too soon. It seems like right now all I wanna wear are blues, I’m With The Lifeguard, and I’m Not Lion!!! Summer’s finally here! π
Yea!! Yay summer! I’ve been wearing my bright/hot/neon pinks lately haha
Definitely yay summer!! π
Oooh. You were right. White stamping on I’m Not a Lion looks great! I’m with you. haha. I’m trying to resist wearing I’m Not a Lion again too. I just posted Manhunt today…another great blue!
Ooh can’t wait to see. I just got elephant walk and exotic encounters. I think I’m gonna do some striping like I saw on your blog. At least I’m like 90% sure it was you! π I think I’ll do neon and grey. π
I think that this looks tribal as well. You are so making me want this glitter…it’s so pretty. Is this design from the recent BM plates? I don’t remember seeing this plate.
Yeah it’s from the recent collection. And you should totally get this glitter! It’s not gritty, it removes easily and it’s super pretty. It’d look great on your darker skin too (remember when you called me pale?! :p) Gettttt ittttt! You know you wanna! And you’ll get it for like 3 bucks at your special store. π
I didn’t call you pale but I might have mentioned Casper. π I might get it…might….darn it.
Might = definitely! π This polish is the-girl-formerly-known-as-Casper approved! ;p
Hahahaha! You so know my lingo already.
For sure!
