Few days ago I received the order full of flakies and chrome/unicorn powders (12 jars) and I was really itching to try at least some of them right away. Not that I do not have any at home already - used maybe once, then put in the box and promptly forgotten...
Yeah, I am a bad girl! LOL!
Anyhow, I picked one random jar, and I had to make it work for this design somehow...
Brilliant blue base is Orly - Snowcone.
Powder I picked is Purple/blue flakie mix from Beauty Big Bang, item J6483TM-11A. I thought little bit lighter and brighter blue would be nice match for it. Loved those flakies, but there is a little thing - they melted and smeared when regular top coat was used, so eventually I topped it all with water based top coat, after I had to redo couple of nails... Yeah, I learned this hard way. My water based top coat of the choice was Moyra - SP. Aqua Top Coat.
I applied those flakies over my index for the full coverage, and I sprinkled them on my thumb.
Image I picked is on Dixie Plates - DP 11.
For stamping, I used Esmaltes da Kelly - Dolly. I placed few flakies under the image, but eventually wished that I had more...
All in all, I liked this, even though this looked totally different in my head...
I hope I will have the chance to work in my garden later today.
Cheers!
