Hi everyone!
You know how sometimes, you get a great idea for nails, and you just feel the need to drop everything and do them? That happened to me at 12:30am last night.
What was I doing that made me feel that way? Watching a Nicki Minaj video.
Now, I'm not a huge Nicki fan, but I do have a thing for the song Super Bass. (Also I'm seeing her in concert with Britney Spears in just over 2 weeks! Haha!)
In the video, she is wearing this ridiculous catsuit that totally inspired me. (You can watch the video here.)
I knew I had a Bundle Monster plate that would totally match that design. So I ran downstairs to my stash and got to work.
And I succeeded! I think these are awesome. I can't stop looking at them!
They look really fake, my nails are getting a bit too long for my liking. I plan on chopping them down before I go away in 2 weeks.
For these nails I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White as a base on all nails, except my accent nails which are Color Club Almost Famous.
I added a 3mm rhinestone to the accent nails, and on the rest of my nails I stamped the giraffe print image from Bundle Monster BM-215 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink.
Stamping is so much harder on long nails! I find it difficult to get the stamp onto my tips because my nails have a pretty big curvature at the tip (meaning they angle downwards as they get longer) so I have to press really hard for the stamper to hit every part of my nail. And as you might know, pressing too hard can ruin your images!
What do you guys think? Are these perfect for summer or what?
:)
I think it's really cool. And the colour combo works really well too :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! They match the layout of your blog, too! I like your nails long, don't cuuutttt theeeeemmmmm!

ReplyDeleteI just recently started following your blog so if you've already answered this question, I apologize in advance but where can I find the stamping kits? I'd love to try them out!
LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to go do my nails again. I just got my first stamping plates and i need to do something fantastic. But first i have to figure which of my polishes work the best for stamping

ReplyDeleteJust wondering, are the bundle monster new plates big enough to cover thumbs?
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of trouble covering my thumb with the konad full nail images and im debating if i should buy the bundle monster or not.Hopefully you can advise me!
It came out great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome I love it!
ReplyDeletethank you everyone!!
ReplyDelete@janetlikesbaking - the second set are the same size as the konad ones.
These are amazing! The color combo is to die for and you totally nailed the design. (No pun intended, lol.) I want to copy-cat this one right now really bad! <3
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with this design! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI love this song! However the video is a little..well Nicki. Great mani! I am in loveeee!

ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome, what a great match!
ReplyDeleteHate Nicki Minaj, love your nails!
ReplyDeleteSo simple, but for some reason I LOVE how it turned out. Another one of my favorite mani's of yours! You've been using presto pink a lot so you have convinced me to get it. I think I'll pick one up this week lol.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE!!! I hopped over from your friend Kayla's site and I'm loving the "inspired" nails! Great color combo, too. :D
ReplyDeleteeemmm its awesome!
