I hope your weekends have been going well and the Thanksgiving plans are flowing. I've been having a pleasant weekend myself - good weather, good company, good food, and good news. So who am I to complain? I know several of the ladies over in the AIS group were excited for today's challenge which is simply matte i.e. some aspect of our manicure must include matte polish or topcoat. Hmm I was on a fench about this because while I do love matte polishes and Essie's deliciously awesome matte topcoat no inspiration was forthcoming. So I decided to return to one of my old loves - nudes and wallpaper. I think this one was a winning combo...
Mani-louge
Base & Topcoats: CND Stickey, Poshe Fast Drying Topcoat, and Essie Matte About You
Base color: OPI Berlin There Done That
Glitter accent: Lynnderella Change
Stamping polishes: China Glaze Passion and Konad Special Polish in Black
Stamping plate: Dashica XL SdP 3

| I left two nails shiny and the rest matte notice how cG Passion stays bold nube or matte. One more reason to love this polish ;) |
Let's do a quick rundown shall we? First, I am loving everything about OPI's Germany Collection. These colors are rich and Berlin There Done That was opaque in ONE COAT!! You all know how friggin excited I get whenever I run across one coaters because it makes nail art so much easier it also means this elegant lady probably stamps beautifully. So win all around :) Second, I haven't touched my Lynns in a while. Honestly I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, but I bought them and truth be told I love them. So change made and appearance and it's gorgeous both matte and glossy! Third and final, I love the Dashica plates and recently I unbelievably won the Like and Share giveaway from Shirley. So I had to pull out my Dashica plates, the first plates I've ever purchased internationally, in anticipation of my set to come!
So here we are - it's Sunday, the weathers relatively fine, I've got gorgeous wallpaper nails though I may be biased, and things are relatively good in my world. I'm wishing all my readers a happy Sunday and let me say thanks to everyone for sticking with my tiny and slow little blog. I'm really enjoying my nail art these days. Toodles...
Outstanding I love this design. It's something about stamping designs matted they look so vintage to me.
ReplyDeleteRhonda thanks! I love anything that resembles wallpaper and this mani made me realize I'm not doing matte nearly enough!
DeleteGreat mani as always!! I'm really interested in these Dashica plates!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLol Vicky you are always too nice! Thank you :) Um I really freaking love my Dashica plates I've got two of her XLs and and also several of the XL SdP plates. The DASH set that I won is new and it's awfully cool as well :) I'm really excited!
