So this is going to be a scheduled post, because I’ll be at work! Yay! It’ll be my first day, and I’m going to be back where I used to work with people I love! So I hope everything with this post goes well as I’ll not be able to fix things until the night time.
So yeah, less of the excitement, more of the nails! This is a colour I never did swatch, I’ve had it in my collection for about a year now, and it’s my only true coral (I think, haha.) Gorgeous coral, with tiny blue glass flecks running through it. It had thickened a little bit in the year it’d gone neglected, but the formula was still pretty good, though I had a little problem with streaking 3 coats was perfect.
If I didn't want to take a swatch shot, I could've got away with 2 coats easily, especially with the flakie top coat too. So after this I added Golden Rose - Scale Effects 03, and then used two images from my Dashica Big SpD-A using China Glaze - Evening Seduction. I really love using Evening Seduction as a stamping polish as the base colour changed the outcome slightly. I've used it over lilac and got a true dark berry purple, and here it looks more like red.
Base Coat: La Femme Base Colour: Natural Collection - Antique Coral Flakies: Golden Rose - Scale Effects 03 Stamping Colour: China Glaze - Evening Seduction Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD-A Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat |
These were so adorable to wear! I had stripes/waves on my thumb too.
I also got my Bundle Monster plates in the mail today (Wed) so I'll be testing them out this weekend, and will do a post about them. I'm curious if you'd want to see swatches of the plates too? If you do I'll test them out a little neater :P
These two colors work nicely together and Hello Kitty so so adorable!
