flower mani | Mae's Beauty

Hey, look at that… the blog works! LOL I have been posting mainly on Instagram lately @Maes-Beauty but wanted to take the time to post today to introduce all of our new TLR members! In case you haven’t seen already, we recruited a few new members, some of which posted in our last prompt, silver. In no particular order, Please welcome our newest TLR ladies

We are so happy to have them!

On to this week’s prompt, floral. I wanted to use this flower stamp I had and it made me think of Hawaii so I chose a sort of Hawaiin theme here, or at least I hope that’s how it’s portrayed.. lol

For this look I did a gradient using Jessica’s Banana Peel and Tangerine Dreamz. I stamped

the flower using Illamasqua Boosh.

The third picture looks a little blurry, I was messing around with my fisheye camera add on to my phone.

So there you have it, new members, I finally posted ON my blog, and I have some Hawaiin flowers for you today!

Until next time… make sure you follow me on Instagram @Maes-Beauty and be sure to check out the other TLR girls

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday weekend, and please remember what Memorial Day really stands for! pro-memorial-day-final_12

ahaha! Now that I have your attention, here is today’s NOTD.

I have entitled this NOTD as I used “Sinful Colors – Happy Ending” and I had some shrinkage going on from Seche Vite. This is the first time this has happened to me. 😦 Everyone always talks about it and I had never experienced it, until now 😦 (see pinky finger in picture).

The colors used in this mani were the “Sinful Colors – Happy Ending” and “Essie’s Aruba Blue” for a stamp design. I then applied a goldish little bead in the center of the flowers. My thumbs which are not shown because I was bad and have been chomping! Shriek! ( I have had a bad weekend – start of the week ) I put a few of the flowers off centered like I did my big toe in this post. along with the goldish beads in the ones that had centers.

I am getting better with the stamps, not too many issues with these, had to do some touch ups with a teeny brush, other than that I am in love with this mani and the colors. The Sinful colors polish was hard to capture, the flash kept going off and I felt that it made the colors almost look like I had a matte top coat. See the shrunken pinky picture for the best acurate depiction of the green color, love this color!
