Stamping Sunday - over blue...grey...blue...
I like to layer my colors, who doesn't? But I didn't mean to layer so many! I started off with a franken I bought of China Glaze 2night.
I looked at swatches online, and I know that 2night is a denim blue holo. This is not. I think I like this more, though! I wish it were a little more holo (though it was in RL, I wasn't able to capture it in the pix inside) but I really love this cornflower blue.
But I wanted a little more holo, and my new Dandy Nails Moonglow was beckoning me. Dandy Nails is quickly becoming one of my fave Indies. Her polishes just don't disappoint. They are great. I love her micro-glitters, too. Moonglow is grey/blue/purple with a subtle linear holo. Gorgeous.
But then I checked the Adventures in Stamping page, and found that we were supposed to stamp over blue. I *just* covered the blue! So, I had to cover Moonglow, and I chose Color Club First Looks, a deep, shiny blackened teal.
Sorry about the lobster hands, I was trying to capture how dark this polish is, but my camera kept picking up all the light. This polish isn't black - you can definitely tell it's a teal, but it's a little darker than I was able to photograph.
So at this point, I'm wearing three different color polishes in layers, but I still have to stamp! I chose Revlon Silver Screen and Mash - 27 for my stamping.
My thumb has the closest representation of the whole stamp. On all my other fingers, I took different sections of the same stamp and put it at different orientations. I am in love with this look. My nails are chipping and peeling from all the different layers of polish, but I still haven't taken it off!
Are you stamping on Sunday?

You need to see some of my earlier attempts... I'm not much of a perfectionist, so there's all kinds of messy going on. This is definitely my cleanest stamping mani. Practice helps!
