So I've had a pretty challenging week. This post should have been up nearly 48 hours ago, but as fate would have it, I got sick on the day I procrastinated to do it. And then just other stuff - it's been rough but here we are - post in transit! My bud Debbie has created this cool little challenge to use our trieds, so todays prompt is PINK - I took out a pink I haven't used since when I first bought an wore it well over a year ago!
So I've been in Photoshop messin' with the buttons again!
I decided to shrink my watermark and class it up a little so I'm dumping the remainder of my stored swatches on you so I can make things look the same from now on. That said I probably still have a couple of pics that have old watermarks on them that I need to post but can't do so yet.
ANYWAY...blah blah blah right?
Manglaze Ilf - 2 coats, No Top Coat
Manglaze Ilf - 2 coats, No Top Coat
Manglaze Ilf - Top Coat on Thumb, Middle and Pinky
Manglaze Ilf - Top Coat on Left, No Top Coat on Right
I knew when I ordered Manglaze's Santorum last month that it would change my life.
So, all jokes aside, it's awesome. And I had an idea to use it with gold. So what I did was taped off my nails in a fishnet pattern with striping tape, painted some nails with Santorum and some with Orly Luxe and then variated by sponging the opposite color over the tape.
This last one is a Matte shot, I always go both ways!
Here I am with yet another Whimsical Ideas by Pam polish to show you.
This girl never misses the mark with her awesome polishes...
Hatched and Manglaze's Lesbihonest (used to stamp with)
Hatched is a gorgeous pale yellow with pastel glitters. It was opaque in almost one coat and only needed one coat of Seche to smooth it out completely. Perfection!
