Black Chrome Galaxy Foil Nail Art + Tutorial!

Hey stamperistas,

Purchased by Me

I'm really trying to get my blog and other social media switched over to the spook-tacular mood of Halloween.  As you know my health has been pretty crummy and what I have found is its also slowed me down so tremendously.  Filming, photographing, etc is taking me longer than I had anticipated but despite that I still want to try and make this October special and share all the nail art & creations I've thought of with you.  Its one of my favorite holidays and its always bummed me out that I haven't been able to use as many of my plates as I would like.   This year I want to do as much as possible so I started with a galaxy look.  I know this is definitely not classic Halloween but I also wanted to think about looks that would go with specific costumes and when I was playing around with my plates this sort of came together.  Its very funky & very non-traditional and I hope you like it!

Multi-Chrome Mirror Nails Pigment Abstract Stamped Nail Art + Tutorial!

Hey stamperistas,

Purchased by Me

Its already the end of November - insanity!  I feel like this last year has both dragged by and flown by and in someways has been incredibly testing and others quite joyful. Highs and lows?  Definitely the last two weeks have been leaping to say the least.  Thanksgiving has already passed us by  I'm still not not nearly ready to think about the holidays, but my nails are saying yes.  If my Black Friday purchases are anything to go by they are screaming winter/xmas now! Right now I'm leaning hard on my love of pigments, flakies, ultrachromes, holographic powders of varying microns, and of course glitter!  And nothing says winter like the above.  I'm going in easy this time with some abstract graphic featuring some duochrome mirror goodness!

Halloween 2017: Holographic Glitter Ghosts + Tutorial!

Happy Tuesday stamp champs,

Purchased by Me

Its Halloween in case you missed my posts on my favorite plates for the holiday.  Let me say it again its mutha-f-ing Halloween!  Ok pause.  It is not Halloween at least not yet, but my nails don't know the difference and I wouldn't care if they did.  Let me pause again to say thank you to those of you who reached out to me after coming back.  Honestly at times I feel like my readers don't care or don't notice and move on.  In some ways it makes it harder to come back, but when I see the comments it makes me grateful and humble that maybe across the world across the nation I have bonds with women that I have never met over something as trivial as nails.  It's a joy and I thank you all for it. Ok so enough sap let's talk about these holographic ghosts!

Moyra Nail Art Stamping Plates Review

Updated 2/22/16

Hey stamperistas,

Welcome to my first stamping plate review of the new year from a brand new to Lacquer Lockdown!  That's right today is all about Moyra nail art stamping plates.  I've been wanting to share this brand with you for ages now.  Looking over their plates and their items for months at a time dying over their innovative images and wishing I could have their offerings in my own stash.  The only reason I haven't shared is because I'm standing by my rule of not sharing brands that I haven't reviewed before so that I don't share something unreliable to my followers.  Now I finally can and let's face it Moyra has been making all the right moves - innovative images, professional branding, and emergence from a stable franchise with a reputable reputation.  I've been having plategasms and now get ready cause you're gonna have them too ;)  As usual this review is split into sections feel free to scroll through.

Please don't forget to leave me questions, or comments about your experience or feedback you have at the end.  It really helps my blog,  other buyers, and also the makers and resellers as well when they read things!
