Hello hi,
I hope you had a spectacular weekend! It has been quite chilly here and even though I spent Saturday spring cleaning, it was quite a lazy weekend. I didn’t do as much as I would’ve liked to. I am hoping to catch up during the week although I feel like I tell myself that every week! I have so much I want to do but unfortunately some stuff is priority. So here we are, with a long to-do list and a lazy bum 😉
Time for another week of #52weeknailchallenge hosted by Polish Portfolio. As always, you can follow this # to see what other people are creating and you can find the list of prompts for this year below.
The prompt this week is Glitter. I would usually try glitter placement of some kind but I did that not too long ago for the #31DC2018 prompt. Ive been wanting to use this polish for the longest time and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to use it. Let me show you the polish
China Glaze – Give me the green light
This is 2 coats with topcoat. This is a green and blue glitter in a blueish base. Fully opaque in 2 coats with a great formula. This is an incredible polish and I love it.
I started with the base of 2 coats of China Glaze – Give me the green light and then I stamped roses on my middle and ring finger using Moyra – 67 Footprints. I first stamped the red using Colour alike – Cherry lollipop and then the black using Mundo de Unas – Black. I topcoated and that was that.
I am really happy with how my layered stamping turned out but I am not sure if this is enough. I had ideas that this would be very striking on it’s own but now I am not sure. I like it but maybe it needed a bit more. But it’s glittery right? What do you think? Does it work?
Thanks for reading,
I love the base! I think it might have looked even prettier with a brighter image, maybe something mint or silver?
Just wondering, how hard was it to remove all that glitter? I keep forgetting to use peel off base when I use something with glitters…
Ohhhh I think you’re onto something. I do think the red gets a bit dull with the glitter and even though it looked skin person, I can definitely see something mint and or silver looking so much better.
It was actually pretty easy BUT I use the Wet n Wild protective base (it has a purple tint) and for some reason this turns into peel off base coat on me. It doesn’t just pop off unless it’s been a few days but I can manoeuvre it pretty easily and then I can just feel it up. This polish comes off more like a regular polish than a glitter bomb though.
