Gradient with stamped birds and nail charm

Includes press sample

Yo yo my ladies! What's happenin'?? As much as I love freehand designs, I still love stamping too. It's so easy and you can do gorgeous things with it! This is also my last blue mani for Autism Awareness Month, so I'm gonna do a quick bit of text about my Asperger's in this blog post and I'll have a proper ending to Autism Awareness Month with something special for you next week.

I LOVE my Messy Mansion plates and I don't use them nearly as often as I should! These images are from MM14 'the bird plate'. It has a lot of really nice designs as you can see in my review from November 2013. The images stamp extremely well, which makes them a pleasure to work with! I have a soft stamper from Winstonia Store that I wanna marry and have babies with, so that made the experience even better :)

I used OPI Gargantuan Green Grape and China Glaze Sunday Funday for the gradient, which I topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust (LOVE that polish!).

And ofcourse this all made the perfect backdrop for my little swallow nail charm from Ocean Nail Supply! It's so cute! It's really easy to apply these charms with just a little bit of top coat. Just pick it up between two fingers, leave a little bit of top coat on your brush and lightly tap the backside of the charm, and then place it on your nail. Press on it and your done! Stuff snags on it but I never leave my nail art on for long, so I don't really mind.

The last thing I wanted to share with you about my Autism, is the sleeping thing. I've always had trouble sleeping, but it changes all the time. I used to have big trouble getting to sleep, now it's mostly sleeping through the night. It's not uncommon for me to wake up at 2 or 3am and just not go back to sleep until the next night. This always happens after a day full of stress, excitement or too much activities, but it will also occur randomly sometimes. It sucks and there's nothing I can do about it, but having my phone helps, because I can chat to all of the crazy American people who are up when it's nighttime here :-)

Thanks for reading my useless babbling!!! Share if you want, comment if you please!

I received the bird nail charm as a press sample to make nail art with. Opinions expressed are 100% my own and not influenced in any way other than the quality of the product itself.
