Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today, are you looking forward to the weekend?
So today is Friday the
13th which means absolutely nothing to me, I'm not a
very superstitious person (except on the journey to Mr Bravo's Nan's
house where I have to see two specific things on route –
I know, I'm quirky. If I don't see them I feel like its going to
impact the day, lol.)
As you guys also
probably know by now..I am a crazy cat lady without an actual cat. I
do however have a beautiful boy in England called Mars, short for
Marshall who is a black, shiny and so sweet. He lives with my parents
and I know he is spoiled, pampered and cared for well, so while I miss him I
know I don't have to worry too much.
I read
recently that black cats can be chosen from pounds/rescue centers
last simply because of the superstition surrounding black cats...
I think this is so sad, Mars is just as lovable and loving as any cat
could be, so I wanted to celebrate the 13th by doing black
cat nails, because they are just as awesome.. Down with cat
discrimination!

eye) I applied two coats of Catrice's 'The Sky So Fly'. On my ring finger and middle finger I decided to do some black cat stamping using Born Pretty Store's Black stamping polish (Click this to see my review) and the awesome BPL-025 stamping plate also from the Born Pretty Store.
On my remaining nails I
did some dry brushing with Claire's 'Splash', Mary Kay's 'Blue Lotus'
and the purple shades from the Essence 'Wake Up, Spring! Tie Die set.
To complete the
manicure I added a black border using acrylic paint and topped it
all off with a coat of my Pro-FX top coat.
What do you
think of my stamped nails? Do you have any superstitions?
Have a wonderful
weekend, come visit again on Sunday for a new nail art adventure! :)

The stamping pattern is sooo cute! And Mars is simply adorable ♡
ReplyDeleteI am not a superstitious person either. but there are tons of superstitious saying here.
ReplyDeletethe stamping, its very cute. I love the dry brush technique. its new to me :D
Usually I'm not very superstitious but when I have to do an exam? Oh boy... everything has to be done in a certain order and a certain way or I'll turn into a nervous wreck! (fortunately I have the most patient and understanding husband who silently suffers through those days ;) I've never been afraid of black cats though. I used to have two until they passed away (from old age) and the aforementioned husband has a cat allergy so no cats anymore for me :(
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dry brushing! That's something I still have to try out. It looks so easy to do but for some reason I never think of it when I'm trying to come with ideas for a new manicure...
kind regard for your big family, black cat , German Shepard..
