Today, I revisited il etait un vernis - Merlot.
I was looking at this beautiful color, and was waiting for inspiration to strike, but all I seen is super pretty polish I actually liked on its own.
I decided to turn to my stamping plates for inspiration, and they kind of failed...
One thing was left for me to do, to pick one of the brands and just go with any untried plate. Choice was Finger Angel - A015 stamping plate.
For stamping, I used one of the stamping polishes I did not use much, so this was fantastic opportunity to give Colour Alike - Warm Sand some mileage.
I actually applied Warm Sand on the thumb as a base, and I stamped with the Merlot, which actually worked and looked pretty good. At least to me.
I also added some red rhinestones on my index finger, as the dots on that first image in the last row reminded me of winter berries for some reason...
Voila! Mix & Match design was born. Even though I used different stamping images, I think all this worked because I used the same color scheme. What I love the best, is that images are nice and airy, and did not cover up my pretty base, but enhanced it.
Mandala images are truly not my thing, as I usually have no idea what to do with them, but I will still keep on trying. Who knows, one day I might create a pretty manicure with them!
I hope your weekend will be amazing.
Cheers!
