ANMonday- Dots.. on a Thursday!

Hi guys, today I have for you my ANMonday challenge, which is dots! I am a little late to the party which is nothing unusual for me, sorry 'bout that. I've had a busy week thus far with work, an unhappy cat  requiring a vet trip and trying to stick to a healthy eating plan. Food organization is not something that comes naturally for me so I have to put in a fair bit of time/effort. Bleh. Anyways, on Monday it was cloudy and cold here, when its meant to be the height of summer so I wanted a sunny looking mani. This is what I came up with!

Polishes used were, base of China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Accent nail in NerdLacquer Regeneration. Stamping  was with Pueen plate 49 KBShimmer 24 Carrot Bold and dotting done with KBShimmer 24 Carrot Bold, Sinful Colors Cloud 9 and Nails Inc Hobart Place.

 The KBShimmer 24 Carrot Bold was more vibrant in realy life, but you can see some of the brightness on the little finger!

I really enjoyed wearing this and quite a few people commented. I think it has a slightly retro feel to it because of the stamping? Anyways. I love the orange yellow combo and I seem to have a pattern of cremes with glitter accents and stamping..hmm. I should really try and stretch myself a bit more! LOL. Anyways, some nice sunny days coming up, you know what that means..holos! 

Nail Venturous Floam and China Glaze Flying Dragon

Flying on a Floam Dragon..Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well it is! I was going to have Floam Friday and I infact did this mani on Friday BUT there may have been a slight hitch with the lightbox that I use when my naughty black cat attacked it a little. There was some clean up to be done before use again. Grr. He's too cute to stay mad at for long and there wasn't any unfixable damage, so onward and upward.

So, what does Floam and Flying Dragon combo look like, it looks awesome!

I did my whole mani yesterday without taking photos except for the final look, but you'll get the general idea. I was inspired to use my Floam and thought China Glaze Flying Dragon (neon) would go well. It didn't turn out as neon as I wanted it, but it was still pretty darned good.

 I applied Ulta3 Base Coat, 2 Coats of China Glaze Flying Dragon Neon (borrowed pic)

Then I did a coat of Floam on my index and middle fingers and stamped with Catch Me and Jazz Olive and using a dotting tool I dotted some accents with Metallic Sapphire. I used Bundle Monster plates for the stamping.

Flying Dragon with flash and Floam!

I think the color combination looks very fun :)

Left Thumb, I attempted to layer the stamp with interesting but not super clear effect. The detail is hard to pick up in a photo :(

Flying Dragon is so hard to photograph! I didn't think it would be. The photos with the flash seem to show the stamping designs a lot clearer. I actually really love this look in person, the contrast between the Flying dragon and Floam is awesome! The color I chose to stamped were in an attempt to compliment the Floam, I hope you think I did alright on that. Any thoughts?

Oh, and here is a quick pic of my furbabys who I love as much as my polish!

Meet my boys :) Gixxer is on the left and Tiller (special kitty) is on the right.

These 2 are brothers who are so fun and great company for me and each other.
