Tartan (plaid) was the theme for this challenge, and every time I see the plaid, I think of my dad.
He passed away more than 18 years ago, but wen alive, he loved wearing plaid button down shirts, regardless of the season. He had very few button down shirts that did not have plaid pattern on them.
Both - my mom and my dad loved blue. I could not decide if I want to do it in lighter or darker shade, I decided to alternate dark and light colors.
My mom passed away two months ago, and I am wearing her ring with her favorite color of the stone - blue. I think I inherited her love for the blue gems, as my collection has several of them.
For this manicure all I used were Picture Polish shades: Surf (light blue), Blue (cobalt blue) and Rhysand (black holo), and I stamped with all of them.
Images used are on Uber Chic - Pretty in plaid stamping plate.
First photo is glossy, but then I decided to add matte top coat, and could not love it more.
While taking the phots, I remembered that I actually have a gingham sweater jacket in those colors, so I wore it for the photos...
I had super busy day yesterday - I was painting all day long! First I painted ceiling in game room, then 2 coats of color on the walls, then I started with baseboards and door frames... hopefully I will finish that today.
Wish me the luck.
Cheers!
