Nail Of The Day – Essie Meet Me At Sunset & Stamping With Maniology BM-XL216 (Nail Fail)

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did last week.

For this mani I painted my nails with Essie Meet Me At Sunset. This is a boring dark orange shade. The formula is strange as it’s see-through even after 3 coats of polish. Not great… 🙄

Initially I didn’t want to make a fuss with my nails. I just wanted to have a plain mani for a few days.

But thanks to the nail polish not being opaque, I thought I’d cover up the mess with the help of a stamping plate – Maniology BM-XL216 – and black polish – Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

To make a long story short: It didn’t look good. At all.

So yeah, this was a nail fail. I did wear this mani for 2 days, but I was glad to remove it. I should have known that it would look awful (I had orange plus black nail fails before) but it was after 22:00 already, and I thought stamping was the best option… Anyhoo, this mani is history now, so let’s move on…

Nail Of The Day – Barry M Molten Metal Holographic Sunburst & Stamping With Maniology BM-XL216

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Barry M Molten Metal Holographic Sunburst (2 coats).

This is a beautiful polish, and I love absolutely everything about it – the colour, the holographic shimmer, the quick drying time…

For the images I used my Maniology (formerly Bundle Monster) BM-XL216 stamping plate. The black polish I stamped with is the one and only Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I liked this mani a lot, and I’ve got another idea for a similar one.

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue & Stamping With Maniology BM-XL216

Hi there! I have a Nail Of The Day post for you today. 🙂

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue (2 coats). I love this polish. The colour really zings!

For the images I used my relatively new Maniology BM-XL216 stamping plate. It’s a very beautiful and versatile plate. 😍

The black polish I stamped with is Essence‘s amazing black stamping polish. Unfortunately, Essence discontinued their stamping polishes. I should have stocked up in time!

Anyhoo, I liked this mani a lot. I’ll be redoing this mani soon, but next time I’ll be doing a green base.
