TWO Blog Awards && New BM mani
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
Hi guys, 
I had a wonderful weekend and now I'm back.  I arrived back home from visiting a great friend to find two blog awards!  
The first is the Kreativ Blogger Award from Karin!!

For this award I must provide 10 random facts about myself and pass it along to 10 other blogger's.
1♥ I am utterly obsessed with nail stamping (Konad, Fauxnad, etc.)!!
2♥ I've only been in love once, I miss the feeling.
3♥ I have wonderful friends, without whom I'd be a hot mess.
4♥ I have a job that I truly love.
5♥ I've never owned a *new* car, they've all been second-hand, I'm working on that.
6♥ My three favorite shows are Breaking Bad, Sister Wives & 16 and Pregnant.
7♥ I hated reality shows until the Karashians and Jersey Shore came on the scene.
8♥ I will NOT buy a gossip magazine, what a waste of money!
9♥ I've lost 30 pounds in the last 5 months, I'm working to lose more!
10♥ Last but not least, I love animals but can't stand cats. 

I could only find two friends that have not received this award: Jaimie & Julia
♥
♥
♥
I also was awarded the Stylish Blogger Award by Jaimie:
So, for this award I must state 7 random facts about myself. 
1♥ I crochet, but can't follow a pattern. 
2♥ My favorite color is purple.
3♥ My favorite flower is a white rose.
4♥ I'm 25 and never been engaged, and want to be married by the time I'm 30. {{Good luck!!}}
5♥ I have almost 200 nail polishes.
6♥ I'm much closer with my Dad than my Mom, although he passed away ten years ago.
7♥ I am not afraid of heights, but am afraid of water.

*****AND*****

Without further ado:  

Here is the newest mani:
 I stamped over acrylics.  I used Black on Black by Sinful Colors and Bundle Monster's new plate BM219!  I absolutely love how these turned out!!!

I'm loving how uniform and thick that white is.  I'm stoked to use it and am hoping it stamps well!

Got my nails DID!
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
Alrighty, I'm not normally one to get my nails done too often.  I enjoy doing it myself.  But every once in a while I want to be pampered.  In this case, my best friend just got her nail technician license and needed practice.  She did some pink & white acrylics for me.  I added the glitter to the tips and of course two coats of Seche Vite!!
 Didn't she do such a great job?  She also doesn't use a drill or electric file.  This is all by hand.  You rock, Dahianna.  I love you!

I got my Bundle Monster plates yesterday too!!!  After I get tired of the simplicity of these nails I will experiment with them. For now, here is a pic!
It's ok to be jealous!

Speaking of jealous!  I hit the Clearance racks at Claire's today and got 9 pairs of earrings, a necklace, and an eyeliner set.  For $10.  Here is my SCORE!
I'm so stoked to set out my outfits for the week and match up my jewelry!!!

Easter Nails
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
Hi guys, 
Sorry this post is a little late.  But here is my Easter Nails!!! 


 Since none of the colors that I used actually have names I will just tell you the plates that I used...
I used M66 for the flowers and grass.
I used H9 for the bunnies.

What do you guys think?

Lots of Nail News
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
Hi guys, 
Sorry I haven't posted in a week.  I've been trying to drum up votes for the Bundle Monster contest.  Well, I lost.  Sad, but I will still be buying the new set!  They will be released on the 25th of this month.  $21.99 for the 25 plate set.  Here is today's sneak peaks:

Aren't they adorable??  I love all the Chinese symbols and the holiday themes! That skull and crossbones is AWESOME!

Ok, now it's time to catch up on last week's manis...
The base is Sinful Colors Black on Black. 
I used Konad White to stamp using plate BM21. 
I LOVE the way this one turned out!  Apologies for the lack of cleanup...
The base is NYC Sidewalkers. 
The stamp is of course Black on Black by Sinful Colors. 
The stamp is M64.  One of my new favorites. 
My Easter Egg nails.  In the spirit of saving myself from from Carpel Tunnel, I'm just going to list the plates I used, because there are ten different colors there.  TOO MUCH! 
The plates used here were M64, M60 & M65.

Mani to match my glasses!!
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
As promised here is that manicure to match my glasses:

 I spent hours and hours trying to come up with a creative watermark and recruited two computer saavy friends, and finally decided--Just typing my blog name on the photo is far easier.  I like the simplicity of this anyhow.  Sorry Tara and Mark for not using your art.  But thank you anyways.  
 
But the details on the mani:
I used China Glaze "First Class Ticket" for the base. 
I used L.A. Colors in Silver for stamping, plate BM19.

I love how this turned out!  YAY!

 10 swatching wheels, tons of dried flowers and rhinestone nippers ((the straight ones will be perfect for the flowers))
 Close-up of the flowers, still not a great one!!  {{Sorry}}

I did nails for the Blazers game.  We beat the Lakers!! 93-86. What what!!
The base is that wonderful China Glaze Ruby Slippers
I used Sinful Colors BLACK to stamp the design from plate M79


Great, huh?  
I loved these!  I think it has to do alot with my DEEP love for this China Glaze!!!  
*MWA*

Crazy Autism Awareness Mani!
Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
So, here is another mani created for Autism Awareness month:

 For the thumb I used a nameless blue L.A. Colors Color Craze && Sinful Colors Nail Junkie
I used that same blue L.A. Colors for the pointer, middle and pinkie, with a silver glitter striper.
For the ring finger I used China Glaze Peri-wink-le (can you tell that I LOVE this color?) and some rhinestones. 

Of course, all is topped off wit Seche Vite.  

NOW, I really need some help from all my wonderful nail blogging buddies.  Can someone help me create a watermark logo?  I'm thinking its about time for one of those!!!
