Something I Love - We Stamp On Sundays

This week’s challenge over at Adventures In Stamping is 'Something I Love' I knew what I wanted to post for this so it was easy. Especially easy as this is a manicure I had already done. It is something I love though. I love gradients, rainbowness, stamping over gradients, and stamping images like this one.

This image is actually my favourite from the Big SpD-A Dashica plate I own. And that's quite a statement as there are so many awesome ones. But yes, images like this, that show majority of the base are one of my favourite types to use; especially over gradients or multi coloured backgrounds, this image is so detailed too.

  And a bad photo of them matte (Rimmel Matte Finish), which is actually how I wore them.

This was my first time trying the 'paint on the sponge method' for this gradient, and it turned out really beautiful as the colours worked so well together, but then I decided I wanted them more vibrant - and it went downhill from there, trying to blend each colour into the next became a little bit of a nightmare, and that's why I haven't included any photos of the gradient alone; because it looked like crap!

Bit of a dodgy scan/crop but you can see how pretty it is :]

I hope everyone's had a good weekend!

Unnatural Animals - We Stamp On Sundays

So because I got a bit behind on this week I had majority of yesterday to plan something to do. I had thought to do something inspired by a pair of socks I own, but they are leopard print, and I'd done leopard print recently so that idea was scrapped. Then I settled on some sort of rainbow cow print, but they turned out pants. So I settled on rainbow zebra or tiger, even though I used the stamp a couple of weeks back :P

I started with a base of white, and used my usual mixing method for multicoloured stamping. As always on Sunday; here's what I used :]

Can't even describe how fun these are :D I keep staring at my nails. I think I'm going to wear these until I have the serious itch to change my mani. Hope everyone's having a good Sunday! :]
