I wanted to try at the time a new polish for me - Jade Special Glitz - Detoxi. Detoxi is bright green textured holographic polish. I love how bright and fresh this color looks. Only thing I did not like was a drying time. This polish took its sweet time, and my problem is that I just can't sit still...
Took me so long to wait to dry, that I forgot to take a photo before stamping over it. (x_x)
Long ago, I learned hard way that fine lined stamping designs can get lost on the textured polish, especially when there is all of this sparkle to deal with. Because we all know that giraffe is actually green, I did some giraffe print on my thumb and ring finger, and some tree branches on the others. See, my giraffe was so well camouflaged, you did not even know it was there. LOL!
Both images are on Mezerdoo 2 rectangular stamping plate from AliExpress.
I stamped with Born Pretty - Black stamping polish.
I wanted to show you a difference between the nails with and without top coat. Textured glitters always look bit dull to me, and I love it sparkly. I topped branches with thin layer of top coat, and you can see how sparkle of the glitters just intensified, and color got extra brilliance.
I will abandon most of the challenges I participate in October, as I can see that most of them will be Halloween themed, and Halloween is not my favourite time of the year.
I will include something for Halloween of course, but I just can not imagine myself doing whole month of nothing but...
I came up with the plan to actually use up some of the manicures in my unposted folder, and you will see me going from one length to other, from ovals to almonds, as I will mix them up with newer manicures.
At one point at the start of the summer, I went through frenzy of doing multiple manicures almost daily, when ever my hubby felt better, or while he was resting... I wanted to have some manicures for posts even if I don't quite have a time to do them.
I still do almost daily manicures, so I will not run out of them, but it is nice to look back and post some of the designs I did back then. I do have some simple and some complex manicures, so let the games begin.
I hope you will like them, even though some of them are quite unseasonal...
