Hi lovelies,
I hope you had a great weekend. I had a great one that was equal parts fab and exhausting. It’s what makes a good weekend though right? 😉
When I did this I had something specific in mind and it didn’t quite work out the way I thought. I think it’s still ok-ish so I am sharing it with you anyway. So let me show you and then I can share the bloopers as well 😉
I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Let’s Talk on my ring, middle and index. I can not describe how gorgeous this polish is. I then added 2 coats of L.A Girl – Quicksand on my pinky and thumb. I used Tip Top – Armour plate and Pueen20 to stamp on my middle and index. So this where the blooper came in. The minute I top coated the stamping it started turning purple. I initially had silver texture instead of the purple texture but when the stamping turned more purple instead of silver, it just didn’t make sense anymore. So my whole idea changed. I am not sure if I love this as much as I did when it was silver. Anyway, I also added one coat of glitter to my ring using Essence – Julia from the Twins Reloaded collection.
What do you think? Like it or lump it? I do wish the stamping stayed silver. I am not sure if it was the topcoat that turned it but I am going to try this again with blue 😉
Thanks for reading,
Siobhan
I like the subtlety though

It’s strange that it faded like that but it still looks really cool!

It’s very strange. I think the purple absorbed all the silver 😛 Thank you.

That Sinful color just is stunning! I think I’d like the stamping even better if it retained its original color, but it still all looks great!
Michelle Roberts
I completely agree with you. I am definitely going to try this again to see what made it change. Maybe a different topcoat will help. Thank you!

Boooootiful, Michelle! Love the textured polish and the others don’t look bloopery at all! 🙂

I love this! Love the stamping and actually love the shimmery purple look it has to it! I think it’s a winner!
