Cheeky goes to Italy

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

 I have more Mani's to shares still.
.
I had a Facebook request to use Jumbo Plate 3 "European Romance"
 I had so many thoughts and ideas I couldn't decide just one.
The polish base colors was a no brainier but I wanted to add a twist
and make it more festive.

SURFS UP..... 

Here I did a gradient Mani and a tape technique for the accent finger.
Of course I used my "Trusty" Black stamping polish.
I used my lint roller trick and took out the buildings and added
a Baker/Chief instead. Then to make it all have a different feel I used Matte Finish
By no other than Mash Nails
I used Full Nail and Single images to create my Mani.
And the Close-up and personal shot.
I first did a Water Marble Mani. It just wasn't enough for me.
The colors blended nicely but the images weren't as bold as I intended for.
So I went with a gradient style instead.

Which base style do you like best?
For this particular Mani I like the Gradient style.

Thank you for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

3-4 weeks now. They will offer them in sets as well.

Last night on the news I heard a story about a little girl who had
2 tumors growing in her head  that are the size of golf balls.Doctors had 
already removed about 90% of them. Maddie is recovery now in the hospital.
She had always loved pictures of mustaches. ( she thinks there funny)
So in support for "Mustaches for Maddie"
I dedicate this Mani for her. :)

The hat is from Bunny Nails HD-B
Cheeky's 2013 Jumbo Plate 7
Accent Finger I used W109

SCOOBY - DOO! .....Where Are YOU!!!!

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

I have been having fun with my Cartoon Plate by 
Chocolate Vanity. There's so many creations that can be made
with these plates. And yes I do understand the shipping costs. But it is 
coming from another country, (which shipping usually does cost more)
But to me the number "One" thing to remember.. These are very "very" rare
images. You won't find Fred,Scooby, Shaggy, Care Bears,Pluto, Sponge
Bob..etc images anywhere else. So knowing all of that. The shipping to me
was well worth the rarity I'm getting.

Now this Velvet Powder from Mash Nails is really addictive like coffee.
It is so simple to apply and removal is easy. No harsh removal like glitter polishes.
They can get wet and dry to the smooth touch. I've washed a sink full of dishes
and when they dried they were soft again. No need to worry if they fall apart either. 
Once it's on. It's staying til you want to remove it. It doesn't have to be used
either to cover your entire nail. As you seen my earlier post, I used it to fill in my Bee's.
And here below, I used it as a french tip.

SURFS UP....


This is what I started with.
I used Mash 35 for the flowers.
The Crew that is responsible.
CG Gothic Lolita --Mash Nails Matte Finish,Blk Stamping polish and Scented Lime Polish
And for those Flowers I used MyOnline Shop's Special Stamping polishes
I used Mash Nails "Velvet" Green. I applied this over the Scented Lime polish.
Does it still smell scented? Yes it's still scented even with Velvet over them.
Close up.

Are you going to try this Velvet from Mash?
I still have many ideas to use this Velvet with myself.
I'm going to get another pack just so I don't run out or they sell out
before I run out..
And how about this Cartoon Plate? 
Would you seriously pass on this plate?
I had to have it. And I've got many more creations to go still.

It's so amazing that with all the nail art choices out there,
they all still play nicely together.

I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

The Latest Buzz...

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Now most of you know that I have descent sized nails.
Some may say long. So when it come to nail stamping I have difficulties
picking images for full nail design. Besides them being long I also have large nail beds.
Double whammy! But I still try to use images that aren't really meant for my nail size.
How? You may ask.. Well 2 things. First is I use the image sideways and 2ed is I double
stamp. Yes doubling stamping can be challenging. But using my squishy stamper makes double
stamping easy. So when most of you look at images at one angle, I am looking at different angles.
Yes diagonally may work just as well too depending on the image.

SURFS UP....

This is my Final Product. 
I used Mash Nails Pearls,Velvet,Stamping Plates & 
My "Trusty Stamping Polish
M 09 for the Index. I doubled stamped this image. 
M 36 on the Ring Finger
The Velvet and Pearls are so simple to use.

There's so many more Mani's I want to experiment with using
Velvet and Pearls.I need more fingers for all these Mani creations I want to do.
Just typing that gave me 2 more ideas. 

You can find these
Plates-Stamping Polish-Pearls-Velvet 

In case you forgot or want to see what colors these Pearls & Velvet come in.




Have you tried Velvet Nails yet?
Did you like them?

I personally love them. It's a great way to add a little
or alot to your Mani.
Did you know that nail polish and nail art is a great
outfit accessory. 
This Mani would make a plain white tee and blue jeans Rock!

Easter Joy

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

Every time I go to the store right now all I see
is Easter stuff with all it's beautiful pastel colors.
And since Cheeky has previewed the "Happy Holidays"
Plate 6 already, that means I am free to stamp and post pics.
I try to use images on each of these plates that I think you may want
to see on a Mani. If there is a particular image on a plate that you would
like to see,Please comment me. And I will work on a Mani for you.
With all that said now...

SURFS UP...

I did a water marble on all my fingers.
I used MyOnline Shop"s Purple stamping Polish
Some Photo Fun Below.
 
I am still really impressed with how well these tester plates work.
I can't wait till they are finally released. Minor tweaks have been made
in comparison to the testing plates.

Have you ever tried MyOnline Shop's Special Stamping Polish?
If not,... You are really missing out. Her polishes really and truly ROCK!.
I did a Mani awhile back using her polishes over a Black base and the results
were amazing. I have 12 of her colors. She has many more colors that I still
need.. Hot Pink, Blues, Dark Purples. so many more..
