Sincerely Stephanie Does Let Them Have Polish

Morning ladies and gents and lacquerheads!

Today I have some nails that I blatantly copied from Let Them Have Polish! I had just finished a swatch marathon and needed something simple to put on my nails that would still look fabulous. I remembered this manicure of Cristina's that I had pinned to my inspiration folder months ago and decided to just do exactly what she did!

The only thing is I have none of the exact same polishes Cristina used, but I have very close dupes. I started off with one coat of NOPI Keeping Up With Santa. Then used the saran wrap technique and SOPI Never Enough Shoes to add a little edge.

Then I stamped with Essie Good As Gold and Konad M83. Add a coat of Seche and I had some gorgeous LTHP nails on my nails!

I loved these and was actually wearing them when I was sick last week so they stayed on for 5 days! Cristina is pretty much a nail genius and I love her blog. If for some reason you have never heard of Let Them Have Polish! then run over and follow her now. :)

Hope you're all having a wonderful day! We're getting close to Christmas! Less than a week away! Eeeeeeeee!

Today I have some rattlin nails to show you! I did some pretty awesome peeling snakeskin nails if I do say so myself.  

I started with 2 coats of Orly's Rock-It (swatch at the end). Then I took Nicole by OPI's Kendall on the Katwalk and just created random patterns on my nails with the bottle brush. KOTK is a really jelly blue with microglitter. Then I let that dry for probably 20 minutes. At this point it looked like a mess. Then I took a piece of tulle and wrapped it tightly around my nail. I wanted the tulle to make dents into KOTK.  I wanted the tulle to make dents because I wanted my nails to look as though part of the skin was peeling off (Gross I know lol) Then I sponged OPI's She's Golden on top of the tulle. She's Golden is a white polish with a strong gold shimmer. I think I achieved my peeling snakeskin nails!

My mom said that it looks like the snake skin is peeling and there is blood seeping through! I totally love that interpretation! :)

When I showed my family that night everyone loved them! Even the boys. My brother was like 'Woah I don't know what you were trying to do but it looks like a snake is shedding' I was pretty stoked that even he picked up on that!

Here is my swatch of Orly's Rock-It from the Mineral FX Collection.

This is a rapsberry-burgandy-magenta glassfleck with a slight golden duochrome. It really is gorgeous on its own. So shiny! You can see in my pictures there are reflections off the nail, I could not avoid it so I apologize! It has so much sparkle but is still completely smooth. I love this polish and it will be making more appearances :)

What do you think of my peeling snake skin nails? Love em or hate em? Let me know either way! :)

Have a happy Thursday and I'll see you all tomorrow!
