Hi Goddesses  

Sometimes I do a mani I quite like, take the photos, forget to write the post, and then realise 6 weeks later that said poor mani is STILL in the vault!  Bless, there's nothing wrong with this one as such, I just never got round to posting it lol.

This baby originally featured in the March 10th Spring Challenge post - Gradients.  It's 2 coats of OPI Sparrow Me The Drama, sponged with OPI Stranger Tides.

I then decided to stamp over it with a stamp I'd seen other people use, and loved - Cheeky 16.   Being a sloppy Crumpet, I didn't write down which colour I used to do the stamping, but I am placing my money on KleanColor Metallic Purple.

I then added a sparkly top coat - one of the Pure Ice ones - et voila!  Le mani.

This is why I HATE it when I forget to write the post when I am wearing the mani - the details get lost :(

I liked this as a layering experiment, but it didn't really wow me.  I'm a big believer though that every mani should get its moment of glory, so here she is :)

Enjoy xx :)

Stamping Sunday - Circles

Hi Goddesses

Oh My God.  I LOVE this mani.  It looks amazing.  Honestly.  In real life.  Yeh, the photos are from the Camera That Hates Purples .... siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

This is a bit of a layering extravaganza.  We have -

* Picture Polish Denim

* sponging with Models Own Beth's Blue

* a light dusting of Dollish Polish Super Bass (full swatch to come soon)

* and THEN stamping with Cheeky plate CH7 and KleanColor Metallic Purple

Now, let me just be clear, here.  In real life, this is STUNNING.  The KleanColor Metallic Purple ?  Stunning.  Stunnnnnn-ing.  It's electric, dramatic, and contrasts beautifully with everything beneath it.

So, to the crap pictures.  My Camera Hates Purples, always has.   Even the halogen lights in the kitchen couldn't save it.  I got some HALF decent photos from the hideous warm light of the nail room, but really, they only give you half the picture (unintentional lol, sorry).    You need to focus on that purple, and dial it up to 11.   It looks like Buffy The Violet Slayer's exotic darker cousin - freakin' amazing.

So, could not love this more, and could not hate my camera more.  You'll never know how awesome this mani was, and that, Goddesses, is what they call a bitch.

Enjoy xx :)
