Using Metallic Polish - We Stamp On Sundays


Hi all, Happy Sunday!

This week's challenge over at Adventures In Stamping was to use Metallic polish. When I heard this I had an idea of what do to, but when I was rummaging through my polishes I was feeling a little bit blah, and couldn't really be bothered to distinguish between polish finishes; so I just grabbed (possibly) the only polish that's name included 'Metallic' and started painting lol.

So I started with W7 - Metallic Mars, and stamped with W7 - Gold Mirror using Dashica Big SpD-A.
Base Coat: La Femme
Base Colour: W7 - Metallic Mars
Stamp Colour: W7 - Gold Mirror
Image Plate: Dashica Big SpD-A
Top Coat: Rimmel 60 Seconds Clear
With flash to show the purple
Such a pretty base colour.
And here's what I used:


Hope everyone's had a good weekend!

W7 Metallic Mars Swatch

I've had this polish a month now, and I've worn it quite a bit but I haven't taken any photos, and it really is quite a beauty.

Base coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: W7 - Metallic Mars (3 thin coats)




Such a gorgeous duo-chrome polish.

Another Jelly Sandwich

Just a quick post today, I feel like I've been lagging with the mani's recently because the weather's so pap outside, and I'm having a hard time being motivated about anything at all :/ But hopefully I'll be back on track with my nails asap.

Two coats of Deborah Turquoise Fever
One coat of a glitter mixture
One coat of Matalan G - Plum over it all :]
I kind of feel like I should have put an extra coat of Plum over.

Purple Plum Swatch

The weather was pap yesterday so I didn't play too much with my nails. However, this should be the last swatch for a little bit and there'll be more nail art coming :]

Matalan - G - Purple Plum
On the first coat of this I didn't think it would ever get opaque. This is three medium coats, no top coat.

Accessorize Aztec

Ah, I can not describe how much I loved wearing this; and I think for a goooood while it'll be on my tootsies. However, Aztec's really hard to photograph, trying to capture all the different colours it flashes, so here's a few pics :]

Three thin coats, no top coat.

Autumnal Flakies

China Glaze - Evening Seduction is what I use instead of black for plain nails. It's so dark, yet you can still see the warmth from the plum colour that suits my skin tone better than ordinary black.

And I think it's the warm, dark purple that makes the Nubar flakes appear more warm that usual.


Two coats, no top coat.
