It often happens that when I start I have a cheerful design in mind and I end up with a dark and gloomy nail look.
The stamping plate “hehe 004” I’m holding in the two pics below (I used it for today’s design) has a big awesome butterfly that can be used for various tropical designs, and yet I stamped it over a distressed gloomy background. The base grey color here is Dance Legend Albion, from the Mist Way collection.
The distressed background effect is achieved by using a dark grey nail foil, and all stamping is done with a Dance Legend black creme nail polish.
The hehe 004 plate was sent to me for reviewing from Lady Queen beauty web store, from Hong Kong. They have a great variety of plates, brushes, paints etc. here, and they also gave me a 15% off coupon code “SSAX15”, so feel free to use it if you find anything interesting there. The regular price for hehe stamping plates is $2.99 and at Lady Queen they offer free shipping worldwide from Hong Kong and Singapore :)
Thank you for looking!
It may be a dark mani, but it is a wonderful one for sure! Love the gold foil effect here and there! Very well thought! :)
Thank you Andrea! I think I need to do nail foil background more often :)
It might be dark, but it is not gloomy at all! I love the outcome of this manicure! :-)
