Hi Goddesses
I've never really done many reptilian manis, mainly because I have a deep phobia of snakes. There's something about them that freaks me out - I can't even watch them on the telly. However, given today's challenge, I thought I would drag the snakeskin out, and ... well... this one is "interesting".
I still can't decide if this mani is a success or a fail. It's certainly "clever" and quite elaborate for me, but it didn't quite turn out how I hoped it would.
This mani started life back at the end of August for Green and Orange day in the endless Summer Challenge. This is what it looked like then - 2 lovely coats of OPI Thanks A Windmillion and then some orange and green semi-translucent flakes.
Something about the flakes, and the way they changed with the light, reminded me of reptiles, and I thought a quick stamp with BM-215 would do the trick. Noooooo.
I can't remember whether I stamped with a-England Dragon or Princess Sabra first, but whichever one it was, you could barely see it over the flakes. So I then used the other colour, making sure I placed the stamp at a different angle, as I wanted to create a myriad of layers.
And this is what I ended up with :( In my head, you were supposed to see deep flashes of gold from Princess Sabra, but she's pretty much in hiding. I don't dislike this mani, but I just know it should have been so much better.
Don't forget to check out the rest of today's lovely ladies -enjoy xx :)
