This is by Black Dahlia Lacquer, and those two are my first from this Indie brand and I am hooked... This Winter duo is exclusive to NailStuff.ca.
First one I am showing you is named Winter Dusk.
Just look at that gloss, and you can see that magical shimmer on the photo too.
This may by the hard color for me to usually wear, but this was the right match for me.
I will show you the second half of this duo tomorrow, and I do have a one time use discount code for NailStuff.ca - SANJA10 that will save you 10% on your purchase.
Even though this is the Winter shade, it can be worn all year long. Not sure about you, but as soon as I seen this shade, it made me think of sand, and beach. Those shimmers a like a sunshine reflecting on the sand, and this is what I did here.
I used images off of the Uber Chic - Mermaid Life stamping plate, but I wanted to play with the foil too. I wanted to make the inside of the shell look like an abalone shell...
First I stamped the image with the white, then I filled the inside with the foil glue. When glue was ready, I applied the foil that looked like a oil sleek or shell to me, and after I applied the foil, I stamped the image with the white. For the pearl, I used magnetic polish and dotting tool. I added some more stamping on my ring finger, and this is how that looked when I was done.
I just added a layer of the black stamping over, to make it more visible, to give it more distinction.
After I stamped over with the black, I added an extra drop of the top coat over the pearl, to give it more dimension. Thing is, afterwards I remembered that I actually have the half pearls that I could of attached, but in my own defense, I was caught in the creative moment. Things like that happen.
Even though I liked this version, have to admit that second version was more to my liking.
The words on my ring finger are true - I always dream of ocean, and if I close my eyes, I can almost smell it.
Tomorrow I will show you the second part of this exclusive duo.
To all of you, happy Monday, and have a great week ahead.
Cheers!
