Gradient is done with random Kozmic Colour polishes (pink, orange and yellow). Horizontal gradient was done on all but my index finger, where I went vertically.
This particular gradient was calling for South-Western theme, and I was more than happy to do something different. I also wanted to use images I never used before.
On my index finger there is image from Bundle Monster BM-S304 stamping plate, stamped with Mundo de Unas - Black.
Same stamping polish was used for lone ranger image, that is on ZJ08 stamping plate. You see, I purchase plates for a certain images, never to use them. I decided to change that, and I will try to incorporate as many new and different images I can.
With this South-Western theme, next thing I wanted to add, and in the same time something I never did before are cacti... Not that I had image I could use or something... I had to rely on my feeble painting skills, so using black and white acrylic colors, I painted cactuses and I even sneaked in some tumble weed for more authentic feel. I was pleased with result, and could not wait to show you this...
I had mishap couple of days ago, when unintentionally I deleted all but following two photos. I actually burst into tears, because that was just cherry on the top of the really bad day.
In the same time, I am happy I still have something to show you, because I was not sure I would be able to replicate this.
Thank you for stopping by and giving me listening ear. I am also happy to show off part of my pretty purple azalea, that is blooming for the first time since I planted it three years ago.
