Darker nude base I used for the cow print is Color Club - Stripped Away. This particular nude looks too yellow against my skin. Nudes for me are tricky, and remind me of shopping for the foundation... none of them are really fitting my skin tone, and in the end, I just did away with it as well as with majority or the make up. Just my trusty blush, eyeliner and lipstick. Pretty minimalistic of me. LOL! My son once said: mom, you can put all of your make up in the smallest of the make up pouches, but nail polish - it goes for days!
Over that I stamped cow print that is on Maniology - MXM017 stamping plate, which was exclusive to Mani X Me box I was subscribed to. You are more than welcome to use my discount code SANJA10 to save 10% at maniology.com.
For stamping there, I used Revlon - Hot for Chocolate, regular polish purchased for the stamping abilities years back. Originally, I did a chocolate + white kind of spots, but did not like the look of them, so I stamped again with dark brown again. That is why you see some white peaking out under the brown.
As a base for ring and pinky, I made the decals on my mat, so called - smooshie, by dropping the blue, green, yellow and light grey. I did my best to cover up this base.
What came next was quite a mystery... Took me almost an hour to weed through my stamping plates in search for the elusive cow image. I was about to abandon all the hope when I came across this cute cow image. I did have several plates with the cow print, but actual cow image was so hard to find! Good thing that I have all of those plates.
I was not quite sure what possessed me to stamp that scale like image, but in my head, I seen the wire fence... I know, I obviously did not have enough caffeine before I made this. LOL!
All was topped with Lucky 13 Lacquer - We're all matte here, matte top coat. I am running really low with this top coat, but in one of my cleaning spurs, I came across the mother load of base coat and top coats I need to use up before I should purchase another one... let's just say, my next bottle will need to be purchased sometimes in 2025! Give or take month... Yeah, I might have an problem, but no worries, it will all go into the good use. I do not have a problem... I do not have a problem...
After I disclosed this embarrassing little secret, I will wish you a wonderful weekend, so I would not put my foot inside of my mouth any deeper. LOL!
Cheers!
