Hi Goddesses
Today's choice for Stamping Sunday seems to have gone down very well. You can do anything you can see in the sky - clouds, birds, balloons, anything.
I was struggling to do something that wasn't too bland, when by accident I realised I could adapt one of the manis I'd prepped for later in the Summer Challenge (here).
This is a base of the gorgeous Bettina PepperMint, which is actually not green, but a lovely bright pale blue. I then did a sponged gradient using -
CG Lemon Fizz
OPI The It Color
CG Papaya Punch
For the purposes of THIS mani, this is a summer field of crops (we have loads of yellow rapeseed fields in the UK) against a backdrop of sky, and oh look, it has some pretty little butterflies!
The butterflies came from BM05 and used SH Tourmaline Chrome. For some reason, I got a lot of smudging on the stamper, which is why only a few of them look really perfect.
Also, you may wonder if I did a matte base. No I did not. Yet it looks so flat. Yes, doesn't it. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me yesterday, but TWICE I spilt acetone all over the nail desk and had to mop it up. Added side effect? Some of the Poshe came off, but I actually quite like that it looks a bit matte.
I'm sure you're going to see some amazingly varied manis today, so enjoy :) xxx
