Howdy everyone! We're halfway through the week, how's everyone feeling? If you're like me, you can't wait for Friday. I actually have the day off Friday and I'm thinking I might go get a massage. I received a gift certificate to a local spa for my birthday from a friend and I'm thinkin' it might be time to cash it in.
I wanted to put up some photos of my nails today. This is a good example of how mistakes can often become happy accidents. I was trying out a new stamping plate and instead of getting the whole design, I only got a partial. At first I was frustrated, but then I decided I like the abstract feel of the partial stamp anyway so I stamped all my nails that way. Here's how it came out:
I started with 2 coats of Peachy Keen by China Glaze (another from my weekend Ulta spree) and stamped over top with Luxe from Orly. Luxe is my favorite gold of all time. It reminds me of the look of gold leaf or foil and the effect is just marvelous. I thought the color combo worked well here, too. It reminds me of that marble with the gold veins running through it. So you can see the original pattern of the stamp was a bunch of stars. I'll give this pattern another try with a thicker polish and see if I can get a clearer outcome in the future, but as far as oopsies go, this turned out alright.
I'll be posting my first manicure for the Nail-aween Challenge tomorrow so be sure to stop by and check it out! Thanks for reading!
