Jade Holografico and KBShimmer Wild Roses Nail Art

Salutations varnished vixens,

Happy hump day.  It's been a while since I've done a Sunday stamping challenge mainly because in case you couldn't tell I stamp pretty much all the time. Lol in any case the challenges lately also haven't really gotten me revved up, but a few weeks ago there was a challenge for stamping over a holographic poli8sh.  Since I  love a good holo I couldn't resist this challenge even though I'm a way late.  So today I have some blazingly holographic nails to share with you! PS my new lighting set up is seriously insane with these holographic polishes :)

KBShimmer Run! It's the Coppers has been on my wishlist forever so when Christy Rose had a sale a few weeks ago I managed to snag it along with 3 other polishes, but I didn't try it till now.  I love KBShimmers and I own a lot of them, but this one is so special to me because its a near nude on my skintone.  Let's be honest I love nudes, but  they aren't really "nude" with my brown complexion. Instead they are more like neutrals, but Coppers (as I'll be calling it for short) is almost dead on.  It also doesn't hurt that the formula on this one is near to flawless if a bit on the thicker side of things for a holo.  The swatch I have below are two effortless coats.

Recently I've been really into blushing nails or that's what I'm calling them - the look where I put a light colored pink at the base of my nails toward the cuticles and then transition a gradient downward.  So I knew right away I wanted that look and I knew I wanted to do something really intricate over the gradient.  Jade Holograficos Delirio Rosa is also a beautiful medium pink holgraphic.  Look at how well it blends with Coppers.

So what do you think? The roses are done using a variety of Orly Satin Hues polishes and advanced stamping.  I just tried playing the colors off of each other until I got the exact look I wanted.  One thing I will say about the DRK Nails XL Designer Series plates is that they are so loaded with gorgeous images and details you could probably create over 50 different manicures using that one plate! I love it to death.  In any event you can find DRK Nails plates here.  I do think the XL 1 is currently sold out though.  You can find KBShimmer polishes here.   Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post...

  1. The gradient looks so goooooood it almost made me sad to see you have covered it with stamping. But really great stamping - the roses colours are fantastic!
