Leopard A Day Week Day Seven!!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!  Yay it's the last day of Leopard A Day Week--not yay that it's finally over but yay because I had so much fun doing this leopard long week.  I think I need to do more weekly theme's like this.  I know a lot of stampers feel the need to have a bazillion plates but when you think about it, one plate can give you a thousand designs by switching up the polish you have on underneath it.  I will always be a more polish rather than more plates person.

I hauled out one of my first stamping plates to do today's leopard mani Konad M76

I did a lovely accent nail with BM221 and Nabi Flamingo.  I love a scattered holo so much more than a linear because scattered holos are gorgeous without sunlight!

Lots of little sparkle in Flamingo

My non nail polish friends refer to holographic or more correctly termed prismatic polishes as glittery!

The accent dots on Konad M76 are China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and Purple Panic--2 of my all time favorite neons!

Sometimes there is just nothing better than a black and white manicure!!!

For me it's hard to pic a favorite of the week but I think my Day 5 and my Day 7 are my two faves!

This is what the week looks like all together!

Same leopard print stamp in almost every image but they all look different!  you gotta love that!

Thanks for tuning in everyday this week to check them all out!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!!

A Leopard A Day Week Day 6

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Saturday!!!  It's a chilly day here but expected to get warmer.  Today is the fundraiser walk for The Friendship House which is a club house for those with mental illness.  Every day the members get a great hot lunch and they can come and hang out day and share fellowship, use the computers, listen to music, do crafts, and learn skills to help them look for a job.  They all pitch in and help with chores and the cooking and cleaning.  After the walk we're having a cookout of brats and hotdogs!  I am definitely in for some brats that's for sure!!

I didn't have a lot of time to put together a leopard mani for today since I was out late again last night doing mani's and pedi's toward the camera fund raiser BUT the good news is I'm halfway to my goal of $200!!  I think by the middle of next month I'll be the owner of a new camera!  

I hauled out my Nabi Wine magnetic and then just stamped an accent nail

I love magnetic polishes!  They are the easiest nail art around!!

I have a lot of trouble not staring at my hands all day when I have a magnetic on!

So we're almost at the end of the journey!  I can't believe it!!  I sure had a lot of fun doing this.  I'll have to think of another week long same image thing to do--maybe week long zebra??

Here's where we're at so far

Tomorrow's the last day!!! Hope I can pull off something great!

Leopard A Day Week Day 5!

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Friday!!!  I've got a busy weekend this weekend how about you?  I've got a benefit walk on Saturday so let's hope it doesn't rain!  It's rained the past couple of days here!

For Day 5 I wanted something fun so I pulled out some Zoya's and did a quick and easy leopard!

Isn't this one fun??!!!

I used Zoya Micky, Thandie and Rocky and just painted on, no taping at all!  I did a top coat of Seche Vite and stamped using . . . yep you guessed it!! BM221!!

These Zoya cremes from the Stunning collection are FAB!

I really like this one!  It might be my favorite so far!

Let's take a look where we're at!

Do you have a favorite so far????

A Leopard A Day Week--Day Four!

Hi Everyone!!  Oh my lord let me tell you I am d r a g g i n g !  I've started my camera fundraiser and did 4 manicures last night and did not get home until almost 10pm!  I like to be in bed by 9 (yes I'm old) so I can read.  None of that last night though.  My back hurts from hunching over last night and I'm tired BUT I have another pretty cool mani to show you!

Today I paired a gorgeous, pretty in pink polish by Alter Ego, Girly Girl, with an edgy look!

Girly Girl is a super pretty pink matte full of shimmer.  For this mani I sparkled her up with shiny topcoat

I think this black tip makes her look hot and sexy!  Or maybe that's just the leopard image?? All leopard's must be sexy!

I stamped using my Cheeky Jumbo 9 Wild At Heart plate.

Here's where we're at so far  Day 4 only 3 more to go!

Wonder what's in store for tomorrow???!!!!!

Leopard A Day Week Day Three!

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Hump Day!  Kind of another cold and drearyish (is that even a word???? Spell check says it's not) day here in Wisconsin.  Not sure what is up with Mother Nature here at all!  That's okay though because I have a hot mani to show you today!  I decided to gradient with some sand finishes--OPI What Wizardy Is This and Kiko Sugar Mat 645 and the result is fab!

I find it so hard to capture the true beauty of a sparkly sand with the camera though!

I just love this sand finish polishes don't you???!!!

Never have I seen sandpaper look so glorious LOL!

I stamped using BM221 I'm sure you all it's my fave leopard plate by now!

Here's where we are at so far--3 down only 4 more to go!

Hard to say what my favorite is so far!

Tune in tomorrow for Day 4!!!

A Leopard A Day Week--Day II

Hi Everyone!!!!  I'm rolling right along with my Leopard A Day Week and I've got a lovely neon gradient leopard for you today!  Quite by accident awhile ago I discovered gradienting with China Glaze Purple Panic and Turned Up Turquoise creates a lovely 3 tiered gradient with a purple in the middle!  I loved it and have been wanting to use it again so what better time than now???!!

ROAR!!! I just love how this turned out!  It's fun and sexy!

I stamped using my fave leopard print of all time BM221

And here's a lovely shot of the gradient before stamping.  See that gorgeous purple in the middle??!!

My niece scolds me for stamping over a gradient but come on!! This gradient looks even better with a leopard on it!!

Here's where we're at so far with day 1 and day 2 of Leopard A Day Week!

Hard for me to pick a favorite yet!

Stop by tomorrow for Day Three!!!!  Thanks for stopping!!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Monkey See, Monkey Do Monday--Rebecca Likes Nails!!

Hi Everyone!!! Happy Monday!!! This week is my Leopard A Day Week!!  I decided awhile back how much I love leopard print and it's just my "go to" print design.  So I thought why not do a leopard mani a day for week!  I'm SO excited to be able to whip a MSMD mani in there too!  Many of you may know that my internet daughter is Rebecca of Rebecca Likes Nails.  She was my very first "nail polish" friend and she's helped me TREMENDOUSLY to get where I am today.  She even recently revamped my blog for me!!!! Did you see those mermaid scales???!!!  Yep that was her all her!  She knows me SO well!

She did a super cute french tip mani based on ANOTHER friend of ours Leslie from Polish Art Addiction so this is like a Monkey See, Monkey Do Rebecca Likes Nails likes Polish Art Addiction!! LOL!

Here's my Neon Leopard to get us started this week!

I don't often "do" french tips because my nails are quite yellow.  They are very porous nails and no amount of basecoat can save them.  They don't see the sun or get air so they yellow.  If I don't wear polish they break, you see my dilemma here right????

I did buff them recently just to be able to do some different art and so far so good.  I've decided to take a pic every single day of my bare nails to see how long it takes before they yellow.  This should be a fun project for all of us to see!

This is also my first foray ever into freehand leopard spots.  I don't think I'm very good at it!


Now let's see some comparison pics of mine, Rebecca's and Leslie's!

You can see Rebecca's post HERE and Leslie's post HERE

So there you have it!  Day one of Leopard A Day Week--what do you think?
