Digit-al Dozen Does Vampy; Day 5

I'm super late for Day 5 of the Digit-al Dozen vampy challenge; while I had my nails done in time as I did them last Thursday night to share on Friday, at first I was too busy on Friday to do a post.  Then when I had time, my internet was down and then when I finally had internet, couldn't narrow down the pix to post. (Exactly how many pictures are too many to share?)  As I type this post and then edit it, I guess I'll see how many I cut out but I took maybe 200 or so pictures of this mani as I love the holo web sooo much and how holo it looks but I know no one wants to see THAT many pictures so I'll try to keep it down to a reasonable level! Here's what I came up with!

Holoooooo!

Started with a base of two coats of Kit Holiday in Spain.  This is probably the vampiest my nails have ever been!  I see in the pix that there are some thin spots; they weren't visible IRL and I'm surmising that its from the lighting but I do wish I had have done three coats for darker coverage regardless because it irked me seeing the bald patches in my pictures!  This is probably the best I've every applied a dark, vampy colour like this!  Because I know that clean up can still show lots of red tinge, I was super careful with my application to try to keep it at a minimum and didn't do too badly!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top before stamping.

Wanting a stamping polish to add some umph to the nails, stamped using Colors by llarowe Sparkling Diamonds Stamping Polish using an image from Handy 2 with accent of HK-11.  I couldn't get the strand to stamp well so added it with a brush.  

Love!

On the blurry side but you can see the holo so well!



Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly to Top to finish.



This many was part of the duo I did last Thursday night as two challenges due on the same day!



Hopefully that was a tolerable number of pictures!  Here's the other ladies Day 5 vampy nails!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Violet

This weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge was Violet; I had added prompt of pattern on pattern.  I've been late in getting these challenge posts up for the last few weeks and did these nails on Thursday with the hopes of posting on Friday. However, just didn't find the time to get the post done.  Maybe if I do next weeks challenge nails tonight, I might get the post done for Friday next week.  We'll see how it goes!

Started with two coats of Sally Hansen Velvet Texture in Velour shown with no top coat.  I actually googled violet to make sure I got the right shade or range; hopefully this is OK.



Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.



My first pattern is stripes from HK-11; stamping polish is MdU 16.  Stamping the lines with a clear stamper sure does make placement better and the lines stamped pretty straight as the clear stamper I was using is a little firmer; not all distorted as can happen with a squishy stamper.



HK-11








Added these cats which were from HK-11 too using Funky Fingers Dark Knight for the the second pattern using Creative Shop 14.

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.



The next morning, I decided to add a coat of matte using Girly Bits Polish Matte'rs.



Here's the other ladies violet manis with their various added prompts!
