Hi Goddesses
Today I've got the final Literary Lacquers polish to show you ... for about a fortnight lol. Amy's new Magic & Mysteries Collection is already on my desk, and will be coming to the blog very soon.
A Thousand Christmas Trees is perfectly named. Yes, it's the colour of Christmas trees, a perfect medium-to-dark green, full of depth and Amy's trademark dazzle.
There's a wonderful lush intensity to this green - it's SO saturated - and I love how the holo only serves to make it warmer - like the sun warming the grass on a Spring day.
Nail art wise, you'd think I'd buried it, but it is in there somewhere lol.
This again features my favourite feathered bird pattern from Messy Mansion MM14, and this time the splodging was with Bondi Lady Liberty and OPI You're Such A Budapest.
I chose to stamp in bronze (Essie Penny Talk), just to try and do something different, and there is something about the clash of the warm copper against the cold splodges and dark background that works in a really unusual way.
As always, you can donate your money in exchange for Literary Lacquers polish HERE. These polishes were sent to me for an honest review.
Hi Goddesses
Happy Hump Day and welcome to a mani which ALMOST became part of last month's Pattern on Pattern DD Challenge.
The base for this mani is this gorgeous feathered stamping I did as part of the January 31DC using the EPIC Messy Mansion MM14 plate.
Said plate also features a stamp of birds on a wire, and it was too irresistible to not overlap them.
I'm not overly successful when it comes to double stamping (there are some crazy good ladies out there), but I really feel I nailed it with this one.
Hi Goddesses
This week you have a treat. Amongst the 52 Week Challenge posts, you get to see 4 Literary Lacquers polishes I was sent for review, and I've done nail art with all of them.
We start the week brightly! I start my new job today, so I wanted something spangly and gorgeous for the blog too. This is To Blossom, and she's GLORIOUS.
To Blossom is a fabulous berry / pink / magenta holo-bomb, with the signature pieces of Literary Lacquers magic glitter. She's just stunning, full of zingy blue bend and those gorgeous pieces of sparkle.
I wanted to do something different and chose to do this zany peacock pattern using MM14 from Messy Mansion, probably my current favourite plate.
I splodged the base with OPI You Better Pink and Sation Fan The Flames Fuchsia so that all 3 pinks had equal interplay, and then stamped.
I am absolutely entranced by the final effect. Stamping over a splodged base is always great, but there's something about this that just POPS. Super in love with the polishes and the plate.
