Hi Goddesses
Many apologies for yesterday's absence. It was a really stressful day, and when I got home from work I literally crawled straight into bed.
So today we have the post I should have done yesterday, and tomorrow I'll post what should have been today's post.
I wanted to go with a random wrapping paper theme, and so I picked some small Christmas images out from my stamping plates. Here are all your technicals -
base - Sally Hansen Diamond Prism
snowman - BM 318
parcel and tree - BM 205
stamping polishes - all Konad, with nail art pens used to accentuate Snowman !!!
I like the overall effect of this one, but I'm going to share something interesting. I put the 3 stamps on each nail, and it looked ok. I coloured in the snowman and it looked ok. Ok, but a bit .... soulless.
And so I got a dotting tool and added some white snow, and suddenly, my mani sprang to life! I don't know how many of you follow Spellbinding Nails and Canadian Nail Fanatic, but they do this a lot. I've often wondered "why the random dots" - and now I know. Somehow they unify your mani and really pull it all together.
Lesson learnt!
Enjoy xx :)
