Hi Goddesses
Today's Stamping Sunday is a bit of a fail I'm afraid. The theme was fine, but I am getting sick and tired of my blacks not being "perfect" for stamping. Let's just say that after this mani, I went straight on Amazon and caved - Konad black and white will be coming to CrumpetLand shortly.
And that's everything you need to know about this mani! It's failure is because of the black polish - OPI Black Onyx, which is usually reasonably reliable. I couldn't get enough to lift on to the stamp, and then I couldn't get the WHOLE image to deposit on the nail.
I didn't mind so much that the black is "broken" rather than solid, but I do mind that it doesn't cover the whole nail, especially when I am in nubbin mode. You can probably see on a couple of the nails where I tried to restamp to extend the pattern ..... nah, didn't work.
As it was minging, I decided it was a good time to try a polish that's been in my untrieds for ages - Wet n Wild Shuffle the Decks, a great silver, black and red glitter (I've really struggled to think of something cool to layer it over).
I quite like the finished combo - the black glitter fills come of the gaps in lol, and the occasional dash of red lifts it a little.
Enjoy xx :)
