Manicure of the month (August 2015 - Instagram)

Hi guys,

how are you all doing? Are you ready to enjoy this long Labor Day weekend (if you live in US)? Or just in general, do you have any fun plans while the weather holds? I don't think that my husband and I will do much because he has several gigs and with that being it is king of difficult to really plan anything. But at least I have a bit time and can sit down and "talk to you" for few minutes.

As you can see today I have another "the most liked" manicure for you. I do these based on the number of likes a manicure on Instagram gets during a month. If you are not following me on IG, please feel free to click on this link and it will direct you to my Instagram account nailsby_judinka123 (http://instagram.com/nailsby_judinka123/).

And while I post articles and reviews on this blog only probably once a week, I am trying to stay active on IG and post at least one manicure a day and every now and then I show you some hauls and do quick reviews. You can also leave me there a message if you are interested in full reviews of items or manicures posted and I can address it on my blog.

Now to the manicure that got the most likes as per you guys ;)
Most like mani on Instagram in August 2015.
I did this simple black and white stamping mani for #glitterglassfunnailartchallenge and #fancynailchallenge nail art challenges in the month of August. And I used:
Base: Sally Hansen (Insta-Dri) - Tag, Ur It! (spoiler alert; I love this limited collection color so much that I did go and bought a back up of it)
          China Glaze - Friends Forever, Right? (really light pink color) from the limited edition The Giver
For stamping I used stamping plate from Bundle Monster; the new Shangri-La Master plates BM-S110 (http://www.bundlemonster.com/10pc-abstract-themed-square-nail-stamping-plate-shangri-la-master-set.html)
Striping polish: NYC - Black Ink
Stamper - Faburnails #faburnails
Stamping polish - Konad in black
Clean up: around my cuticles I have applied liquid palisade from Kiesque. I have this latex protection for about a year (also have a review on my blog http://judinka123.blogspot.com/2015/01/kiesque-liquid-palisade-does-this.html); and though I still like it, it is getting really thick and hard to apply. I have been savoring it for a while because frankly it costs $22, but if you really want to get a good use of it, I would recommend using it without leaving it sitting for months :( Lesson learned here, I guess...lol. For the final clean up I used my well loved Elf concealer brush, which you can get almost anywhere these days and costs only $1.

And for this mani I decided not to use any top coat and leave the matte finish of the stamping polish. I hope you guys like it as much as I do. I know it is not perfect and that you can see imperfections but frankly I like the fact it looks "raw". The truth is the temperature in my nail room gets insane sometimes and the nail polishes dry before I can even transfer them onto my nails.

That's all for today. Please let me know which manicure was your favorite and if you tried to re-create them, you can use hastag #nailsby_judinka123.
