Roses stamped over a favorite skittle base

Hello everyone!

'Stamping over a skittle base' was the challenge in the group 'Adventures in Stamping' this Sunday. I was very stressed and didn't know what colors to choose for my base. Then I said to myself; "If you choose your favorites, you can't go wrong". So I did. Well, these are definitely on my top 10 list at the moment, but that might change next month. I also wanted them to look good together, so I didn't include a bright one and some holos that I also love. The nail polishes look different in different light, so on many photos only two nails look their best. I also tried to take step by step photos, but I will not show them in this post.

Shade:

Used:

Thumb: Nfu- Oh: #56 (green jelly with green flakies and microglitter) layered over Pieces: Pine Green (green cream)
Index finger: Nfu- Oh: #51 (purple jelly with flakies and microglitter that shift from green to orange to red, but looks mainly pink here)
Middle finger: Ninja Polish: Divinity (bronze shimmer that can shift to green, in purple base)
Ring finger: Enchanted Polish: Magical Mystery Tour (very multicrome and a little scattered holographic)
Pinky: Ciaté: love letter #112 (pink- orange glitter)

Konad: Black SP
Image plate: Konad: m65

On the thumb I used 2 coats over the dark green base (Pine Green). On the other nails I think I used 3 coats. I used base- and top coat, but the glitter also got a layer of Posché.

After a visit to a farm with some attention seeking animals, I had to help one nail a little. I also learned that it's not a good idea to apply water resistant sun block if you have no time for extra clean- up. I managed to ruin the top coat on one nail during the extra clean up, so I added top coat on those two. Most of the photos were taken after I came home.

Sat-ART-Day Club: Amethyst Pattern Skittle

Hello everyone!

The Sat- ART- Day Club has started again, and this first Saturday we are all making an amethyst pattern skittle. I chose to use my amethyst magnetic nail polish; Deborah Lippmann Berry Metal, and used five different magnets to make a different pattern on each nail. As usual you can find thumbnails with links to all the participants' amethyst pattern skittles at he end of the post.

I've written about Berry Metal from the Steal My Kisses set earlier. To see it, click here.

Deborah Lippmann describes the color of Berry Metal as amethyst. Here you can see how close the color of the amethyst stone is to the color of the nail polish.

It looks like many are doing the Laid- Back 31 Day Challenge, that started this month, but if anyone have had time to do this Sat-ART-Day Club challenge, you should find their thumbnails below :-)
