Stamping Sunday - Large Flowers

Hi Goddesses   



Now, I do know it is rude to toot one's own horn, but OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS MANI !!  I could not be more in love with it if I tried.  It's big and it's bold and it's awesome - a bit like the Crumpet herself lol.




So, the technicals -

* base colour is 2 coats of OPI Vampsterdam - sublime colour, just sublime
* stamping plate is BM-204
* stamping polish is Barry M silver foil - there is NO better stamping polish in my opinion than Barry and his M's foils.  At the moment, he only does silver, gold and lilac - here's hoping he brings out a whole rainbow for my birthday :)




I just LOVE how this mani works.  It's one of those where the end effect is far more than the sum of the parts.  I love Vampsterdam as the base as it's so dramatic, and you just can't guarantee EVER that the base and stamping colours will collide so beautifully.  I also love the boldness of the flower print - it's exactly the sort of pattern I like.




Again, this reminds me a little bit of wallpaper, especially the velvety goodness of Vampsterdam.




Anyway, anyhow, I LOVE THIS LOTS.




Have a great Mothers Day if you're in the UK - I'm off to spend the rest of my day snuggling with Beth.



Enjoy xx :)
