The funny story that really wasn't funny

Hey wanna hear a funny story that really wasn't funny?...

So my house is on a small hill that leads up to my front steps, in the winter time we don't use my front door because the snow builds up on the steps and we would ruin our yard trying to shovel it so instead we just use out basement door. Well, with the warm weather we've been having finally all of the snow has melted in my yard. When it melted on our front steps my dad found a surprise.... a package for me dated January 31st -_- I ripped into the package to find two beautiful Azature pretties waiting for me and fully intact thank goodness!! I can't even tell you how many prayers I said to the nail polish gods hoping the polishes wouldn't be destroyed! Naturally I couldn't wait to get these gorgeous colors on my nails and was so happy to find they weren't even goopy! What luck right?! So moral of the story? Even when you have 2 feet of snow on your front steps CHECK FOR PACKAGES! Because apparently UPS and Fedex deliverers don't mind trekking through the snow to put a package there -_-

Bahh at least they were in perfect condition! I apologize for the nubbiness of my nails, they still haven't grown out but I couldn't resist showing you these pretties. I'm showing off Azature Light Purple Diamond, a beautiful dusty grey-toned purple with a silver shimmer. The shimmer is more pronounced in the bottle but it's still gorgeous! Swatches below are two smooth coats with top coat, though you could almost get away with just one.




I knew I needed some art on top, but my creative juices are pretty dry at the moment so I opted for a stamp that resembled diamonds to me :) The stamp is Bundle Monster BM-404 and I used Lime Crime Lavendairy, Maybelline Color Show Amethyst Ablaze, and China Glaze Bizarre Blurple.


I ended up absolutely loving this combination! I want to do some more gradient stamps too the look they create is so fun! And keep an eye out on the blog for the second pretty I recieved from Azature ;) 

Thanks loves
