Stamped gradient

Hi lovelies,

Happy Friday!  Are you happy the weekend is upon us?  I always enjoy weekends but this week has been good so I don’t mind it that much 🙂 

I mentioned the other day that the inspiration has been a bit low and I have been hinting at wanting to do more stamping so I really hope you don’t mind all the stamping posts.  I love stamping and I tend to not do too much because of the whole ‘it’s not real nail art’ thing.  I say to heck with that, stamping is awesome!  So today, a stamped gradient.

I started with 2 coats of Tip Top – Hot fudge on my ring finger.  I then did a sponged gradient using China Glaze – Dance baby and China Glaze – Peachy keen on all my other nails.  Once that was all completely dry I stamped over the gradient using Tip Top – Hot fudge and Pueen65.  In hindsight I wish there was a bit more contrast between the stamping and the gradient.  I initially wanted to use another polish to stamp with but in the bottle hot fudge looked exactly like the colour I was going for.  It still looks ok though.

What do you think?

I could’ve sworn I have already shown you Tip Top – Hod fudge but I can’t seem to find a swatch of it.  I will definitely swatch it the next time I use it.  In the mean time, here are the other two.

China Glaze – Dance baby

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  Stunning formula and opacity.  I also know it stamps well because I have done a Tuesday Stamping post on it before.  Definitely a firm favourite.

China Glaze – Peachy keen

This is also 2 coats with no topcoat.  This was actually the first time I used it and I love it.  It’s beautifully opaque and great formula and such a stunning colour.  Almost like a bright pastel.  Beautiful.

Let me know what you think and if you would’ve done anything differently.  Maybe used different colours?  Have a lovely weekend folks and see you on Monday!
