I am truly wondering which of two this week would ended up to be.
Today , I am sharing the manicure done with one of the stamping plates received for review from kads.com . There is also a store at AliExpress.com and you can choose which one you want to shop at.
Plate I used for today's look is Kads Chinese 027.
Hardest thing was to decide which of the images to pick.
In many ways I feel like I did not do this beautiful plate the justice. I added one too many layers, and it made it really hard to see...
Then I did another manicure where I used different images, but I was not really happy with that one either, and will show you the second manicure sometimes in the future. I was very lucky to receive few PR parcels in last few weeks, so there is little back log of the review manicures - just watch me playing the catch up! LOL!
I went with the pond look, and for that I picked two images - koi fish and water lilies.
As a base, I used Bluebird Lacquer - Make It Rein. That is pretty sapphire blue glittery polish, and I am wearing two coats. This might be part of my problem, as I thought that I picked the color that is too dark...
To lighten it up, I used Moyra - SP. 24 stamping polish to pick up the images, then I colored them in to create decals. After I applied decals, I thought that pale gold stamping polish washed the images out, so I double stamped with Hit the Bottle - Holy Indecisions Batman - big mistake! I did not quite lined up the images, so now they don't look crisp enough...
This was so frustrating, but it is what it is.
We all have the days when our game is not quite there. This was one of those days for me. Right after I removed this one, I did the second attempt, and I was not happy with that one either. It could be just me making the elephant out of the mouse, but that was how I felt.
Why then I am posting this? Because we are not robots, we do make mistakes, and strive to do a better job next time.
Maybe I just wanted too much but did not know how to get there?
In any case, this is what I prepared for today, and let us see what will next few day bring on.
Have a wonderful week you all!
Cheers!
