Color Club : Wild At Heart + stamp

I thought it was about time I used my stamping plates again :)

Lately I've been far too lazy with my manicures. I want to be better at using my stamps and do free hand designs too, and I have two reasons. 1, I want to be better, and 2, I feel like this blog is a little boring with boring swatches showing my one-colour manicures. So, I hope to improve on this!

I started with Color Club Wild At Heart (I have two of these, this is the less holo version), one coat was enough, then I stamped the bows with a fake konad plate using Rimmel - Rock Republic (great for stamping!). Lastly, I added dots using a dotting tool, failing miserably at keeping them the same size. I really suck at dotting!

And a lightbox picture for better looking cuticles, LOL! This thing does wonder for my cuticles on pictures ;)

My topcoat dragged a few of the stamps/dots, but it's less visible IRL. I hope you like it anyways, it was a simple design to get me started on stamping again :)

It's Tuesday...

I can hear the rain on my window, it's been pouring down all day. I decided that since I was going to stay indoor, I might as well make use of my camera and take a few pics for the blog. 

I want to start by sharing my latest purchase - a flaky polish from Gosh called "Rainbow". I would like to thanks Neglenymferne for showing this polish; without the recommendation I would've never looked twice on it.

I had to try it as a topcoat on another polish, and since I put on Rimmels #825 Sky High the day before, it was quick to do a test. And boy, did I like the result (see further down for the results).

I purchased Sky High last Friday, I was on a mission to find a certain purple/lavender-ish nail polish (which I never found, btw - but I'm still searching!). I've always LOVED teal coloured clothing, and ofc I had to get a polish to match!

I don't like the texture (it's on the thick side) and the wide brush was awful to be honest. It took me 2 - 3 layers to cover. Still, it's a colour I will use every now and then (especially when I manage to get a hold of another brush..), and it did dry faster than most of my other polishes! If you like teal, this is the colour for you!

And the results of Sky High + Rainbow:

I smudged it because I was in too much of a hurry to take a picture! D'oh. Here's a closeup:

It looks like flakes from opals... Sooo pretty! <3
