Steampunk Nails- Twinsie Nails

 Hi guys, today I have for you a challenge that I did during the week with @cats_n_nails from Instagram. Natalia has been doing Twinsie nail manicure all week with different nail art chicks and I popped my hand up to try a bit of a challenge :)  Natalia was keen to re create/re-interpret a manicure by @mrslochness involving Steampunk, bling and cog stamping. Since I love the idea of steampunk and had some nail art watch bits, I was completely up for the challenge! LOL. As an aside, it's hideously hot here so stamping is a complete pain in the rear end..Essie Good as Gold is my go to stamping polish, but she was having none of it in the weather!  Anyways, here is the end result!

Base coat- Essie Good as Gold and Five Stars Bron-zite. Stamping with China Glaze Passion, Swarovski studs and Nail art Watch pieces from Cherry Poppins.

Here is a side by side of my nails and Natalia's nails :)

I love how these watch pieces look :)

 Gorgeous gold flecks in Five Stars Bron-zite! :)

 Gah, not the best stamping effort..but the heat I tell you!

Super pleased with how these came out. I love the bronze gold flecked polish and the watch bits was really fun..and completely impractical. I would have top coated my little finger and hoped for the best if I had faith I wouldn't knock the nail art off. Since I am super clumsy I took the larger gold piece and the sharper bit on the bottom of my pinky off. The stamping was so difficult in regards to I was unable to pick up the polish from the design, stoopid heat. Anyways, it was worth the persistence.
