Butterfly skittlette

Hi lovelies,

It’s down hill to the weekend! I’ve been having a really good week so far so it doesn’t really matter to me.  I am excited for Friday though.  I am off to get my next tattoo.  😉

I had this idea for a few days and when I finally did it everything went wrong.  The first time one of my white nails turned yellow.  So I redid that one nail and then bam, I stick my hand in spicy food and it stains the heck out of my nails again.  So I redo it all and then take photo’s immediately.  I didn’t love the stamping on the last attempt but I’m afraid it’s what you get 😛  Let me show you…

I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Snow me white on my index, middle and ring fingers and 2 coats of China Glaze – Electra magenta on my pinky.  When that was all dry I used Essence – Not punky nor funky glitter topper on my ring finger. V mentioned she would like to see it over white and it made me realise it would be a perfect combination for this.  I then stamped on my middle and index using China Glaze – Electra magenta and BM307.  The butterflies on my index seem a little strange to me compared to my middle finger but at this point I was happy to just get anything on my nails 😛  Also, isn’t Electra Magenta so gorgeous?  Let me show you.

China Glaze – Electra Magenta

This is 2 coats with no topcoat. It is a purple / berry shade packed with a tightly scattered holo.  Absolutely stunning formula and opacity.  This could easily be a one coater but of course, I always use two.  In love with this!  Advantage is it stamps really well too.

What do you think?  Did I manage to save the butterfly skittlette?  Do you also think Electra Magenta is gorgeous?

Thanks for reading,
