As I mentioned before, I am in the middle of the reno, and this had to be a quick manicure, so I can continue with work. Dry hands and all. Once finished, I will have to give my hands some well deserved TLC.
This supposed to be a quick manicure, but ... even the best laid plans... improvisation on the go.
I started with beautiful Masura - Emerald Sari.
This is my first Masura polish, and I purchased one more, so this one would not be the only child.
First I applied one generous coat of polish, used magnet, and let it dry. Then I applied one more coat, used the magnet, and you can see the result above. Polish dries to a high gloss, there is no top coat on the swatches.
This was perfect color for this prompt. I am born in May, and emerald is my birthstone, so this already tied in Zodiac prompt.
Next, using Winstonia - Silver Bullet and Bundle Monster - BM-S306 plate, I stamped constellations, as there is where we got zodiac from. From the old age humans are looking at the stars and try to predict future...
Then all that was left was my ring finger. Originally, I made a decal using Esmaltes da Kelly - Doguito and KleanColor - Metallic Yellow, but I messed it up at the application process, and colors did look great on the stamper, but looked washed out over this emerald green. Here is first version on the stamper.
I kept bull image which I picked up from MoYou London - Greek Mythology Collection 02 using again Doguito. This time I filled in decal with KleanColor - Metallic Brown, all earthy colors there being the earth goddess and all, and a Taurus in Horoscope...
Decided to add matte top coat, Sally Hansen - Big Matte Top Coat. Love how cat eye polish looks mattified - Has that velvet feel to it.
Also added some clear rhinestones for eyes, just because I could.
This wrapped up my not so quick Zodiac manicure. I hope you will enjoy.
Cheers!
