My Sisters Adventure with My Polishes and Stamps

Sisterly Love Means Sharing... Right?

I am very fortunate that my Sister and I have a close relationship. Not to mention the fact that my dog Zoey and her dog Dellmar seem to be in love with each other. So we get together often so they can have play dates and tire out. They are young and their energy can be overwhelming. It's Win/Win for everyone!

My Sister has always done her nails. At least as far back as I can remember. This is all much newer to me. I have been trying to talk her into stamping, but she has been hesitant. My Sister has a different style than I do. She loves French Tips and Glitters. She doesn't really care for all the extras, but she wanted to give stamping a go... so I lugged all my stuff over. Any time I get a chance to do nails with someone, you can bet I am jumping on it!

The Polishes she chose to work with were : 

Kleancolor #252 Berry Burst (Base Color) - 2 Coats
Kleancolor #234 Chunky Holo Purple (Sparkle Layer) - 2 Coats
Kleancolor #7 Pearl Silver (Stamping Color) - Stamping
Jordana #406 Quick Dry Top Coat - 1 Coat

It took her a long time to decide on these colors.

She chose a Paw Print stamp that she wanted to work with. I showed her how to do it, and then told her to get on it. She did really well I thought. You can't expect perfect stamping your first try. This was how it looked.

You can see how pretty the Berry and the Holo Purple look together. I think she did a great job for a first time stamping, but she wasn't thrilled.  I really liked it, but they aren't my nails... and so.... 5 minutes later.. this whole manicure came off!

But that wasn't the end of it... she wanted to do something else. I totally get it... there were a ton of polishes to choose from.

The Next Polishes she chose to work with were : 

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #390 Red Carpet (Base Color) - 1 Coat
Kleancolor #229 Chunky Holo Poppy (Sparkle Color) - 2 Coats
Kleancolor #300 Sequin Dress (Additional Sparkle Color) - 1 Coat
Jordana #406 Quick Dry Top Coat - 1 Coat

She had wanted to use my Red Carpet polish for awhile. After she had it on, she decided it wasn't enough, she needed more sparkle. So she applied the 2 coats of Holo Poppy.  That was better, but still not enough, so I handed her the Sequin Dress glitter to try and that did the trick. She was happy.

The Chunky Holo Polishes are really pretty, but they are really subtle. When they catch the light you can see it nicely, but otherwise you have to really be on it to notice. Well.. if used to enhance a base color.

If you click on the images you can see them larger. This picture to the right really shows the detail of the colors she used. The bottle she is holding is the "Sequin Dress" glitter. Lots of sparkle and I think she was happy! It was fun playing around with someone else. I have such a new love for manicures and all of this, so when I get a chance to share that, it makes my day. 

I got a fantastic dinner out of the deal too! She made her famous Pasta Salad, which I look forward to every summer and some cheeseburgers. Not a bad deal for me. :)  In the end, we had a nice day. Zoey and Dellmar played like crazy and now my Beagle is tuckered out. I am happy with that.
