Monkey See Monkey Do Monday--Polished Men!!!

Hi Readers!  Today's Monkey See Monkey Do post is all about the guys!  My friend Jim is a guy who loves to wear nail polish.  No he's not a gay men or a girlie man he's a really cool manly man who likes nail polish.  Personally I think his choice in a favorite football team sucks BUT not the fact that he wears nail polish!  Jim has struggled with being accepted for wanting to paint his toes and fingers and I believe it's wrong for society to be judgmental and non accepting of something as small and trivial as nail polish and who should or should not wear it.  BUT I don't want to stand on my soap box and complain about it either  (too late though hey???) so on to the polish portion of today's blog lol!  
Here I am recreating Jim's Man On Fire mani which you can see here

I feel like these would look better taken outside in the sun BUT we had no sun for pics lols!

Jim used a Layla to stamp with but I don't have any so I hauled out my OPI DS Original to stamp my flames

Who knew OPI DS Original would stamp so well?  I used the lovely and my new favorite black, Essence Hunt Me If You Can for my base--it's just so lovely!

I used Mash-48 for the flames and again I can't stress how much I love the latest MASH set.  


Here's the comparison pics.  Jim's mani is on top and mine on the bottom

I really love that Jim is wanting to branch out from just wearing polish to stamping.  While it's true a lot of stamping images out there seem very female driven, there are a lot I think are male gender friendly and the flames are one of them.  I think it's great he's looking at more and more designs to amp up his mani just like we gals do!  You guys all know I can't just wear polish so why then should it be any different for Jim?  I think once you stamp you get addicted to it--sort of like eating cherry turnovers with the big sugar crunchy tops.  Once you start you just can't stop!
