Hi all, again sorry for the infrequent posts, my life has suddenly become quite busy since moving back to Devon! That and it's so difficult to motivate myself to trawl through the hundreds of photo's I've got to decide which ones to show you. I do have a couple of hours this evening though, so I have got my music on, and am getting down to the business of sorting my photo's! I have a few mani's that I am particularly excited to show you, so hopefully those will be making an appearance soon.
This manicure was an experimental one really, after I got all those new polishes I shared with you in my previous 2 posts, I was eager to see how the black and the white would stamp. I was also eager to wear ALL of the gorgeous Essie metallics too, so I have a different colour metallic polish on each finger, with some little salamanders stamped on in black and white.
What I used -
- Essie Blue Rhapsody
- Essie No Place Like Chrome
- Essie Penny Talk
- Essie Good As Gold
- Essie Nothing Else Metals
- w7 Black no 28
- NYC Pinstripe White
- NYC Top Coat Grand Central Station no 202
- Bundle Monster Stamping Plate BM15
And here is how the manicure turned out -
Cute huh? The white salamanders don't show up that great, purely because white isn't best suited to the base colours used, but it was still nice to stamp with :) I need to practice my stamping technique, I found it quite difficult to pick up the whole salamander, his tail was often left behind so I had to place him strategically on a couple of nails! I love all of these polishes, especially since I got them so cheap. I am looking forward to trying out stamping using the metallics too.
Until next time, S x
