My thumb is stained a bit, that drives me nuts when I don't realize it until a day or so later while cropping pictures after the manicure is long gone. I apologize for the sloppiness! Allow me to walk you through how I got to the previous photo though. (=

I used fauxnad plate M03 and Konad Special White for the snowflake design seen below.
It was pretty just like this but I can't ever leave well enough alone, so of course I added more and more.
As you can see, I didn't stamp the snowflakes with a green polish. I used some cheapo dollar store brand called b.s.n in Ivy, its a bright green jelly, over top of the snowflakes. I then used BM plates 205 and 225 for the Christmas designs. After they tried I put one coat of Confetti Tiara over and then sealed with OTD.
Let me just tell you that the b.s.n. polishes are the most vile scented things I've encountered in my entire life. It doesn't smell like nail polish, or that chemical Klean Color smell. It smells like hell. OK, so it does smell chemically, but it's beyond explanation.. sooo I guess that ends my post. LOL.
So fantasticcc !
ReplyDeletei wait you my♥blog!
I really, really like this green. I think it's just a tad too early for Christmas (for me, anyway), but I like the stamping you've done - I'm bookmarking this page so I can reference it later!
ReplyDeleteagreed megan! i think the arrival of my holiday china glazes prompted this one though xD im easily influenced haha.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to practice your holiday manicures now so you can pick out the perfect one for the actual season! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas nails! I liked how you transformed your mani with a jelly!
ReplyDeleteThis came out great, and I totally think you should give more greens a chance! This one looks nice on you! :)
