Black & White Challenge - Day Six

So I know I have taken a serious break from the black and white challenge. Do not worry I didn't forget or give up. I have been relatively busy and didn't have much time to paint my nails, and every time I did, I was not pleased with the results. Today's post is:

Color Base With White

I used:
China Glaze - I'm With The Life Guard
China Glaze - Some Like It Haute
China Glaze - Techno
Pure Ice - Super Star
Cheeky Plate - CH5

I am not so much a fan of how the accent nail turned out, but I am loving I'm With The Life Guard.

What do you think?

Every day is an adventure.

Darling Girl Blush Swatches

I have had these since the super bowl sale and just had not gotten around to swatching them. Being that I was over come with some sort of productiveness virus, I decided to swatch a serious amount of stuff and these were some of said items. Today I present to you swatches of five Darling Girl blushes!

Man Candy

She-bop

Boy Crazy

Pixie

Cheeky

Swatches

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Man Candy

She-bop

Boy Crazy

Cheeky

I like Boy Crazy but I am not sure if I could wear it as a blush. Maybe I could contour with it?  Man Candy is very pigmented and a little goes a long way. She-bop is actually more orange than I  expect and I am not sure how often I will use it. I really love Pixie and Cheeky I think they will get the most use.

What do you think of these blushes? Do you own any Darling Girl blushes?

What would you suggest I try next?

Everyday is an adventure.

Black & White Challenge - Day Four

Hello everyone! This one I am totally in love with! It seems lately things are not working quite how I want, but this manicure turned out pretty much perfect. I used pretty much the most perfect image plate for this. It is from the new Cheeky set.

White Base With Color

What I used
Fresh Paint - Eggshell
OPI - Road House Blues
OPI - Last Friday Night
Cheeky Plate - CH4


I love this. I tried using a jelly for a base and I think it turned out well. The VNL is not too bad, thanks to the stars all over. I also am totally loving my ring finger accent nail. I did two coats of Eggshell, stamped the UFO using Road House Blues, and did a coat of Last Friday Night topped with a top coat. So pretty! I am totally going to wear this as long as I can so it may be a while until the next post!

What do you think of this manicure. This is probably my most successful one of the challenge in my eyes.

Do you just love stamping like I do? Or do you just feel meh about it?
