More Canuck nails

Posted on Saturday, May 21, 2011 | 17 Comments

Still rocking Green and Blue nails to support the Vancouver Canucks!



Base: Sinful Colors Rise and Shine (it dries kind of matte/ suedue/ plasticy...similiar to Orly's Plastix Satin collection)
Stamped Stripes: NYC skintight denim (BEST STAMPING DARK BLUE EVER!!! Cheap and works great)
Image plate: Bundle monster 20

I consider Across the Universe by Deborah Lippmann a Canuck nail polish because it has green and blue pieces of glitter in it =)



 

This is a gorgeous polish but it is super hard to photograph...natural light, flash, outdoors, indoors etc.  It is probably THE hardest polishes that I have ever photographed.
Here is a picture of it with flash and sunlight.  You can barely see the glitter : (  But you can see the jelly texture of the polish :)



I bought my NYC polish from the Canadian Superstore but I'm sure that it is readily available in most grocery like stores for example: Walmart and Kmart.

I have no idea where Sinful colors can be bought (I won this polish in a giveaway) but I assume that one can buy it in Walmart and Kmart? maybe target?

The places that I know you can purchase across the universe from are: Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, http://lippmanncollection.com, http://apothica.com/

    I buy Sinful Colors at my local Walgreen's. Different drugstores and some supermarkets with a beauty department carry Sinful.

    I am going to have to hunt down NYC Skintight Denim. I have been thinking of buying a dark blue Konad stamp polish, but if this stuff works as well, I'll use that and save the moolah. :)

    I saw Sinful Colors for sale at London Drugs. A bit pricey though!

    Neat manis! I love the first one. It actually made me think of Christmas cause it reminds me of swapping paper prints that I love!

    Hi! I want to be able to make cool nail art like yours.. and I googled that Bundle Monster plate that you were talking about and it seems to have a lot of design... but what does one need to use those plates and how do you use them?

    Does it come with instructions on how to use them? Any tips on the materials I would need as a beginner?

    Thanks!
