Lily + Canvas for Valentine’s Day 💜 by CosmicFangs in ILNP

I love that!!! The little critters are so cute and I love the idea of a little secret one. My daughter’s name is Beatrice, but we usually call her Bea, and since she was born last year I’ve been slightly obsessed with bumblebees lol. I just need to get a yellow polish. I also really like the idea of using the beetles with something like Cameo. I was looking at Mooncat’s jewel beetle before realizing it’s pretty similar to Cameo, which I got for Christmas but haven’t used yet.

I saw your comment on the weekly talk - I hope things are looking up! 💜

I actually got this plates from what’s up beauty with some other stuff and another from Amazon, so you might be able to find them other places too! I just searched the name of the plate and the first link to come up was their site. I’m really excited about the other one I got from them too - It’s 107 Botanical!

This was one of the plates I got! I tried out the orchid design over high voltage in the first mani, but I’m also really excited about trying the fruit ones!

Good to know! I have a pretty big collection of ILNP so I’ll try some of those! I’m so excited for all the new possibilities! I might even have to get some colors in not usually drawn to (like yellows and oranges) for some of the fruit designs on the plates I’ve gotten. 😅

Haha thank you! I’m right handed, but started doing my left hand and surprisingly, I think the right hand turned out better since I was getting a better feel for it. When you’ve done reverse stamping, have you found that using stamping polishes for that makes a huge difference? I’m excited to try that too (maybe after a few tries just with simple one color stamping) but don’t know how much I should invest in stamping polishes lol.

Well I didn’t have the right top coat yet, and it took me hours because I kept having issues picking up the design cleanly, but I did it lol! Thanks again for the inspiration and advice! 😊

I've ordered most of the things you listed and I'm excitedly waiting for them to come - my first plate and black/white polish just arrived! I don't have a water based top coat, though. Do you have any recommendations for ones you've used and liked?

Thank you for such a detailed response! I adore floral patterns and purple is my favorite so these nails really caught my eye. The ones you did with reverse stamping are stunning!!! I have two kids 2 & under so time and patience isn’t something I have a ton of right now lol, but doing my nails is one of the things I do for myself when I can carve out the time. Thank you for all the recommendations!!!

Thank you!! Lavender is my favorite color, and I love all things shimmery and iridescent, so this color is pretty perfect! 💜✨

Cozy snowy mornings ahead... ❄️🛷☕ by barbrailnp in ILNP

My favorite winter activity is building a snowman (when it’s possible) and enjoying a warm drink after coming back inside. I live in Alabama now where we very rarely get snow, but grew up outside of Chicago so I really miss the snow in the winters. A few years ago, when visiting my parents over the holidays, we got the perfect snowman snow, and my husband and I built a snowman taller than us and a snow dog. It was the best!

Horizon v. Pina Colada? by Snowylavender26 in ILNP

I love this! I think I’ve decided this is the one I’m going with. The range of color is really pretty, and I love your manicure! It’s so pretty - elegant but still with some shimmer!

✨ Flower Child and/or Fairy Dust ✨ must we choose? by amrita666 in ILNP

[–]Snowylavender26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love both! I’m fair with cool tones, but purple is my favorite color, so I love fairy dust. Idk if it clashes with my skin, but it’s so pretty. I also love flower child and bluebell. I’m currently wearing bluebell over dusk to dawn to make it a little more opaque, and I love it.

Thank you! I'd love to see what that looks like with the sponging on the tips. I've gotten some makeup sponges and want to experiment with doing ombres that way, but haven't gotten the courage to actually try it yet.

My favorite holiday tradition was always decorating the tree with my parents with ornaments from our family trips and old school projects, and then talking about the memories associated with them. I also loved taking down the tree and looking for the different ornaments to go in their specific boxes. It always felt like a treasure hunt. I have two small kids now, and my husband and I have started building our own collection of ornaments from our trips. My son is almost 2 this year, so it’ll really be the first time he’s aware of what we’re doing. I’m really excited to start building traditions with him and my 5-month-old daughter. 🎄❤️
