Purple hexagons meet nubs

I don't know why, but this title sounds like some sort of a summary to a  Sci-Fi-Romance movie. Imagine it- a purple hexagons, with his very own pare of legs, walks into a bar and seeing miss nub sitting at the corner. Her well moisturized cuticles and smooth surface catch his look, and---
Ok, I'll stop right there, and we'll move on to the manicure before someone decides to hospitalize me somewhere.

I tried stamping again, because you know what they say- practice makes perfect! Well, the thumb on my left hand was the best of my many tries. For some reason, the stamping on my ring finger insisted on smudging every single time I tried to repeat on it, so I ended up just letting it be.

Also, this time I actually made the same nail art on both hands! If you knew me IRL, you'd know how rare that phenomenon is. Many times I even go with my right hand polish-naked. Yes. I am THAT lazy. Kinda justifies the blog's name, doesn't it?
So in order to celebrate that, I've decided to include some very rare (and you better appreciate it!), right hand photos.

The base color of all my nails is Chic I lilac you. I stamped using Bundle Monster BM-422 and Life 337, which is a nice shimmery purple. The glitter topper is Wow 368. I added a stud from Forever 21. I actually quite liked the fact that the black stud breaks the overall purple look a bit, but doesn't disturb it.

Blue skittlette tribal

My first stamping post! While having many mistakes, I take pride of this manicure. I even tried to fill up the empty spots, but the shade I used ended up much lighter with the stamping, and the lines I made were far from being straight, so there's that.
After making this manicure I realized that it fits another monthly challenge I decided to join- Nailvengers Assemble. January theme turned up to be "New year, New technique", which fits right in with my first (and sad) attempt at stamping. So while I'm a bit late to the party, I promise you that I made this manicure on January 31st!

I still need alot of practice. Maybe I should go for the small prints first, instead of full nail ones, but oh well. You can be sure that you'll see much more stamping posts now that I finally got my Bundle Monster order, and own 42 stamping plates!

My base color on all nails but my pinky is Essence That's what I mint!. The pinky and the stamping were done using Laline Kahal galena. I used Bundle Monster BM-402 for the stamping. The studs are from Forever 21.

Triangle studs

Just look at it. Look at how professional these pictures look like! I'm pretty proud of myself, I'll tell you that.
This manicure may seem a bit familiar if you're following my Facebook, since I used it as the profile picture. Anyhow, I'm taking this manicure as the first step toward being a bit more professional about my nail art, hoping my efforts will become even more visible in the near future.

On the ring finger, I organized silver caviar beads into two triangles- one on the edge of the other- and man was that a torturing job! I believe it was worth the effort thought. The triangle stud on my thumb is from a stud set I got from Forever 21 (shocking, I know. I can't seem to find it on their site, but it's the exact same wheel as in this set.). I also found a wheel of neon studs, so I grabbed that one as well.

My base color is Ga-de Perfect Plum.
