So, this week's theme was stars. I didn't have that many choices. So I decided to use a Salon Express plate for the first time. This is SE22. It's actually a full design, but it looked to small so I attempted to use it as a tip design. FAIL. Many reasons behind this fail. My base is Essence Where is the Party? Layered with all 5 Finger Paints Special Effects (Twisted, Asylum, Flecked, Motley, and Flashy) and then topped with China Glaze Matte Magic. I then used Konad special black to stamp the stars. Well, I don't think those many, many layers were completely dry. Stamped my thumb and lost the whole thing! All my polish just slipped off. So I waited and waited, and waited and waited. Tried my other nails and they were all smooshy too! This one nail was the only survivor! I also used China Glaze Matte Magic over the stamp to make it match the base.
It's a pity the rest didn't make it ;( but it looks great :]
ReplyDeleteI think this is very pretty, fail or not, I love the way the sparkles show through the stars!!!
ReplyDeleteI like it... I want to see your other 3 fingers *giggles* you did a good job :D
ReplyDeleteI usually put a thin layer of a fast dry top coat over my polish before stamping. Usually Out The Door, I find this help stop smooshing and evens out the nail for an even stamp. Then I top it with Seche Vite.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how this came out even if it messed up, I'd love to try something similar! :)
