Sasatinnie SPR209 with Stamping

Sasatinnie SPR209 - three coats with no top coat

Sasatinnie SPR209, a candy pink with gold pink and purple shimmers, reminds me a lot of Essie Your Hut Or Mine. The shimmery look is gorgeous, and it dries to a fairy glossy finish, which is a bonus! The only negative about this polish is the brush, it is way too short and is not comfortable to hold, but at this price (about $1USD for 5ml), I cannot really complain.

I then did some quick stamping using a faux plate and Color Club Antiquated, a champagne gold foil that is awesome for stamping. How do you like this mani?

Nail Art Stamping: Aritaum Pink Holo with Color Club Wild At Heart

Aritaum Pink Holo stamped with Color Club Wild At Heart

Hello girls, how are we all doing? Chinese New Year is almost here, so I wanted to do something fancy to my nails to celebrate this very important festival!

I really like using Color Club Wild At Heart for stamping; although the holo effect is not very obvious, it definitely brings out the stamping pattern.

Aritaum Pink Holo - two coats with no top coat

And here is Aritaum Pink Holo on its lonesome. Aritaum is a South Korean brand, and it has two holo polishes, a pink and a purple (for the purple holo post, click here). The application is a dream! I can't wait to go to Seoul next month to check out more Aritaum polishes, and many more!

Color Club Shabby Drab

I am a sucker for any blurple polish, so when Color Club released Shabby Drab from their Back to Boho Collection, I knew I must get it.

Color Club Shabby Drab - three coats

Shabby Drab is a dusty cornflower creme, and although the formula is a bit on the sheer side (I did three coats here), I like how it has a milky and squishy finish.

I got a bunch of Nubar art pens a couple months ago, so I used the gold one and drew two diagonal lines to spice up my mani. It is a very simple nail art, but I quite like end result! Do you girls agree? :)

Reunited with my long forgotten Fauxnad Stamping Plate!

I bought a few Fauxnad plates online half a year ago, and although I have attempted several times with various polishes / patterns, somehow I just couldn't stamp the patterns on my nails neatly and consistently. I don't know whether it was because of the stamp, the plates or my polish, I just couldn't get it to work.

Since joining a couple FB nail polish groups and following many new polish blogs, I am inspired to try nail stamping again. So today I decided to brush the dust off my Fauxnad plates and give it another try.

Fauxnad Plate - m2

I picked up plate m2 (I believe this is the same plate as the Konad one?) and decided to use the pattern in the middle. Note how they called it Kand Template? LOL, you got to love the names they come up with for fakes sometimes!

The print on my pinky looks the best!

Check out the shimmers under bright lights! Disco balls on my nails!

I used Color Club Love 'Em Leave 'Em for stamping. Wow! Am I surprised to see how well the stamping turned out this time! Although there is still a long way to go with my stamping skills, the patterns are at least clearly visible on my nails!

Overall I am quite happy with the result, and this encourages me to try more stamping from now on! I might even go and buy more Fauxnads now!
