Nail Art with Carpe Noctem Cosmetics and Bundle Monster

*Purchased by Me*

Today, I have stamping for you! Plus some holo, because, well...HOLO! 

I planned this look around my desire to use one of my new polishes from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics, named Potato Queen. Potato Queen was a part of the Inspiration Collection, which Emily created using some amazing nail bloggers as inspiration! 

Potato Queen is a magenta holographic with additional larger glitters. The formula on this baby was like actual butter: SO smooth, remained where I put it, and quick to dry! She dried extremely glossy, but I still used one layer of top coat, to preserve it for the day (because let's be honest, when do I go more than a day without changing my polish??)

I applied Potato Queen on my pinky, ring finger, and thumb, and decided to stamp on my middle and index finger. For this design, I started with two coats of OPI Alpine Snow. Then I chose an image from Bundle Monster BM-S105, one of the plates from the Shangri-La Collection. I used my clear jelly stamper from Born Pretty Store for exact placement, and stamped using black Konad polish. Everything is sealed in with top coat! 

I am so extremely happy with how this turned out! A bright color with a black and white accent is quickly becoming one of my favorite looks to wear.

Leopard Skittlette using Ever After Customs, OPI, and Zoya

*Purchased by Me*

*Borrowed from Someone Else*

Happy Saturday, and I hope you're having a great one so far! I feel like time is going by so fast, and can't believe that March is almost over!

For you today, I have some skittlette nail art! For this design, I used my basic black, Zoya Willa, and basic white, OPI Alpine Snow. For my holos/indies, I used two customs that were created by Rachel of Ever After. Let's take a look! 

The fist Ever After custom is one that I purchased from someone who was destashing. It is a red holo, and it comes from a collection that was based off of characters from Pretty Little Liars. This color is named -A, and it is based off of, well...A! It is opaque in two coats.

 

 

The next custom is one that my mother had made, named Luna's Stardust. This is a black linear holo with silver flakies! It is opaque in two coats. 

 

 

 To make the leopard print design for my mani, I used a cuticle stick that I had on hand, which has one pointed end and one flat end. I used the flat end to make red spots using -A, over Alpine Snow, and the pointed end to make small lines and dots, using Willa. Everything is sealed in with top coat. Here's the final look! 

Leopard print was one of the first types of nail art that I ever did, and it always holds a special place in my heart! What is one (or more) of your favorite nail art designs? Let me know below!
