Hare Why so Igneous?

I love all the Hare Polishes that I have. This is no exception. I used one coat of Essie She's Picture Perfect on my ring finger and one coat of Verity on all others. I used two coats of Why so Igneous? on all fingers and just a single coat of top coat to smooth it out.

I love the colors in this one. I still can't decide which base I like best, so I'm glad I wore it this way.


 I used Essie Good as Gold to stamp with XL-C.  Not loving the stamping, but it was fun.


As you can see, I'm playing around with a watermark. Do you have a preference?
Have a great day!

Orly PreAmp taped and pearled

We took a mini vacation, but I'm baack!

This is one of my favorite manis I've done in a long time. It was a really pretty effect and it was inspired by a little girl's room! Then I took pictures of it and started cropping. Argh. I still love it a lot. I decided not to be too precise when I did my angles. I free hand them. then I tape to stamp. So, it's a combination of taping and free hand. I cannot get the tape to wrap around my nail and stick well enough for me to paint and it not ooze under. The tape method works ok to just stamp.

I used Orly PreAmp, OPI Kyoto Pearl and Dashica SdP-37 with Konad Black to stamp.




I thought I was smear free until I looked at the pictures. Oh well :)
See you soon!
