ABC Challenge: A is for Advanced Stamping

For the past few days I've been layering cuticle oil and slathering as much of my entrusted OPI Nail Envy as possible to get my nails to the state they were before all the travelling, illness and just general neglect happened! I am so sick of it, it's time for some nail art! And what better way to get the creative juices flowing again than through a nail art challenge? I am a day late for the ABC Challenge  hosted by Nail Polish Society but I have a good excuse. I went shopping. All day long. I know, I know but I had to celebrate now that I am officially flu-free, right?! I treated myself to a trip to IKEA and I bought ALL SORTS (as you do). Anyway, the idea behind the challenge is to create a design corresponding with a letter of the alphabet. The first challenge starts with the letter 'A' (duh) and I decided to go for 'Advanced Stamping'.

First though, can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of my base colour, Cerrillos by Cirque. It's an absolutely stunning turquoise holo. Here I'm wearing 2 coats for perfect coverage.

Now, let's talk nail art! I created a floral mani with the Danglefoot Polish jelly collection* (for individual swatches click here) and MoYou London Pro XL 11 plate. I love how delicate this design look!

  2. This is so gorgeous! And who doesn't love ikea! Your nails are a great shape for having gone through all that. After my move and travel and whatnot earlier this year/late last year, my nails were the nubbiest of nubs, it was sad. But they're healthy again now! Cuticle oil is the best. Oh and I'm usually always late for challenge prompts too

    1. Thank you Silvie! For me, cuticle oil and Nail Envy is the best remedy! I went home recently and forgot to take BOTH :/ I went bowling on the last day and broke ALL of my nails on one hand ;(;( The only good thing was that it's not my swatch hand but I'm still waiting for them all to be the same length!
