Instagram Love

I am a total instagram addict (myjapanlife). It's true! I wake up and look at new posts from people I am following and see if anyone hearted my posts. Right now, I am posting mostly meals, but I like to post other things in my life, like nail art. I found an instagrammer anniep1124 and shoplouun. She is a jewellry business owner and posts awesome pics, not only of her amazing rings, but also super cool nail art. So please follow her. I'd like to order from her too in the future. So this week's art is inspired from her recent post: 

Here is my version:

I used Orly's #48653 , Honei Diamond Nail ZF, and Ettusais 1. I thought I had rose seals, but didn't find any in my stash so I used some butterfly ones instead. 

 

See you on instagram! 

Fall Stamping

Still enjoying the many different fall ideas for nail art.  It's been a while since I stamped.  Though I love the look, it takes some getting used to or time to do it.  Of course, I would get a lot faster if I practiced more.  Saw this pic on Pinterest that totally inspired me (again):  

I ordered Kleancolor metallic orange polish specifically for this.  I didn't have the exact design, but I thought it would work a different way too.  I tried one of my mega bundle plates, but the etching was too shallow and it didn't work well with this polish.  So I switched to my Konad M60 plate.  First I applied my base coat and then a couple coats of Rimmel Chocolate Caramel.  I sealed it with O.P.I. Top Coat.  

Love the look!
