Hi Goddesses
Even brands I love sometimes get lost in the vault, for no other reason than it's "just" a swatch, and I don't always feel motivated to get them on to the blog if they were for my own pleasure.
Everyone deserves to see these 2 beauties though. Sweet As A Peach is just that - glorious and summer juicy.
The shade of this is absolute perfection - it's bright but not overly so - not too pink, orange or coral, but some perfect blend of all 3.
My Enchantmint is a lovely mint green with a very delicate holo (so as not to upset the colour).
This is cool and divine, and even though I'm not a green lover, even I would call this one pretty much perfect.
Don't forget, if you're in the UK, you can get your Lilypad fix at Sally Magpies.
Hi Goddesses
As with so much of this #33DC
a) today's post is late
b) it features Lilypad Lacquer - 3 of em, to be precise
and c) it features another MoYou London awesome stamping plate!
How much do I love Lilypad Lacquer? A lot. Not only has Nicole made me want to buy green, it's probably the only brand where I *could* make a green gradient!
I have 3 greens on show here, not that you'd notice. My Enchantmint is lovely and subtle, and Emerald City is like black Irish. In the middle, we have Global Greenie, which is gorgeous in its own right, but struggles to stand its ground against Emerald City.
They were then stamped with this great pattern from MoYou Pro Collection 05 - a beautifully detailed leafy pattern. I stamped using an unknown Konad I got in a kit which is a super dark olive, and just worked perfectly.
I love the wide open spaces in this pattern, and how they allow the polishes to shine through.
Don't forget to checkout all the other #33DC girlies xx
Hi Goddesses
Sorry today's post is a day late, and I know I had a 3 day weekend but ... but I started watching Revolution. And bloody loved it! Suddenly the number of episodes I had watched exceeded the number of manis that I'd done, and then it was a toss up between editing or watching the last 2 episodes. Sorry :)
Now, back on Day 3 it took me 3 attempts to get a tape mani I was happy with. Today's mani started out as one of those rejects.
This is a tape mani using 2 Lilypad Lacquers - My Enchantmint and Global Greenie - as well as my favourite zig zag stickers.
In the end though, the result was just too subtle, so they went on my tape mani heap. I then turned to my new and lovely MoYou plates and picked this sensational rose pattern from Princess Collection 12.
What I find really interested, is how not only can you not tell I stamped over a tape mani, but you can barely tell I stamped over 2 holos! Lol. That stamp sure is a spotlight-hogger.
Another word on MoYou (and you'll here a lot more before the end of the year) - they are my favourite plates OF ALL TIME. Beautiful, interesting, unique .... and they stamp with precision every time. If your wallet can tolerate it, go and have a look - HERE.
