#PPSANailChallenge: Traffic Nails (NAIL FAIL ALERT!)

**nothing to disclose**

Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have this nail fail to show you. I try to pride myself on sharing everything that I do to keep it real. So here we go...keep reading after the break to see the reasoning behind this mani!

My dear nail bestie, acidicice encouraged me to join a nail art challenge for the month of June, #PPSANailChallenge and I hadn't done a challenge in a while so of course I said yes! Most of the prompts have been pretty open to interpretation with things like purple, pink, dots, etc. But then this week, here comes this crazy one called traffic. My understanding is that many others doing this challenge found this prompt, well, challenging! I decided I was going to do these cute kawaii style traffic lights and they turned out looking creepy. :'D 

Anyway, I took this off INSTANTLY after taking this picture. I totally "nailed it". Haha. Do you have any manis that you just couldn't stop laughing at? 

Thanks for reading! 

Love, 

Pish

Stamping over a glitter base!

Hey y'all! 

Tonight on the blog, I have some stamping nail art for you! 

I wasn't super happy with how this came out because the stamping isn't very visible over the glitter base. The idea was good I think, but the execution was poor. 

Here's what I used:

Lots of polishes! From left to right, Essie Protein Base, Zoya Tilda, Zoya Staasi, Zoya Jesi, Zoya Binx, Zoya Willa, and Seche Vite. 

I started with the base coat, and once that was dry I put Zoya Tilda on my index, pinkie, and thumb. I did two coats of Tilda and then topped with Seche Vite. Moving on to the middle fingers, I sponged on Staasi, Jesi, and Binx with a makeup sponge. I went over each nail 3 times to achieve opacity. I wish I had taken a picture of how it looked before I stamped it because it was so pretty! 

After my glitter based had dried most of the way, I stamped with Zoya Willa over it using Cici&Sisi plate #8. Here's a macro of the stamping. You can see the details better here:

Overall, I liked the mani, it just didn't turn out the way I had pictured in my head. I decided to share anyway because I made a promise to myself that I would share my fails as well as my wins. 

Do you have a mani that didn't turn out the way you wanted?
