Hi Goddesses
We're back to the Literary Lacquers Vurt-U-Want collection today, and some nail art that I did with the stupendous Thermofish.
Thermofish is the colour of a green ocean. It's so beautiful, you WILL want to swim in it. The colour is perfection, and the glitter is just ... gah, to die for.
So with the oceanic theme in mind, there was really only one way to go, and I picked MoYou Sailor 05 and added some silver stamping.
Orginally, I was going to use one of the other polishes in the collection to "colour-in" part of the design, but you know what? Sometimes simple is best.
Hi Goddesses
Sometimes, as a blogger, you get lucky. You develop a great working relationship with some of the polish makers you work with, and one day they say - I'm sending you some new polishes, they don't have names yet tho, can you name them too?
Can I ever? Well for a wordy Crumpet like myself, that's just like asking me if I would like to eat free Chinese all day. Duh! Soooo exciting.
And here was the first of them. I eventually settled on Aqua Viridian as the name because this polish has a personality disorder - it veers from dark green to aqua shimmer, with many stop off points in between. It was also a cool play on words with "ante meridiem".
So you know me and greenyish polishes, but this one is fascinating enough to keep me quiet. It's like a living gradient on the nail, flashing from green to sea-green to toxic in the blink of any eye.
It's an utterly bewitching polish - the aqua shimmer sometimes seems to sit on top of the polish, like poisonous pond scum circling the seaweed (oh yeh, I get well into this one lol).
I then stamped over it using one of my favourite MoYou plates, Sailor 05.
What I love most, is that it looks like I am wearing a gradient under the stamping.
Stunning - you can buy Aqua Viridian and all manner of other loveliness at Nire's Desire HERE.
Hi Goddesses
It's pretty much impossible to pick my oldest untried. It's just over 2 years since I became polish obsessed, and I know I still have untrieds from that period. Instead, I decided to go with the Untried I have been meaning to USE for the longest time.
Sally Hansen Gray By Gray is a great colour. It's a dusty blue-grey, and I love it because it's based on cream rather than white, giving it an olde, vintage vibe.
For the stamping, I couldn't resist using one of my new MoYou plates. This is Sailor 05. If you haven't yet visited their website .... well, your purse will be happy. If you DO visit them HERE, you will leave many ££ lighter lol. Not only that, they stamp BRILLIANTLY - clean, crisp and perfect.
Sailor 05 is CRAMMED with loads of great images, so I decided to do a little skittle of my favourites.
On my thumb, we have this amazingly cute collage.
On index we have .... seals? porpoises? manatees? I don't know. But I've never seen them on a plate before - yippee!!
On the ring finger is this amazing design that I ADORE for its intricate detail. I can't decide if it's underwater plant life or sea monster tentacles, but I love it either way :)
And finally, on the pinkie, the little pishes! Aren't they KA-UTE! Seriously, this plate (like all their others) is just full of win.
So what's YOUR oldest untried and how old is it?
