There were 4 Nail Collaborative challenges and 5 EcoPolo challenges this month, so I'm sneaking in this challenge without a neon! It feels so good to be bad.
And nothing feels better than a great holo. This is Literary Lacquers Raspberry Cordial? from the Anne of Green Gables collex. I have watched the whole trio of TV mini-series based on the books, and the first two are in my favorites. I have seen them over and over again - in fact, when I get sick, I usually pop one in the DVD player and watch until I fall asleep. They are the ultimate comfort food for the soul.
But, back to the polish.
I usually prefer my holos without any additional glitter, but this one works. It doesn't disrupt the holo, but adds to it. I love the blue fire.
I used my standby gold, Maybelline Bold Gold, for the stamping, and two stamps from the Pueen 22 plate. The smaller roses in a pattern, with accents of the large rose by itself.
I love the antique look of the gold roses.
Though I am sure that Marilla, from the Green Gables series, would never approve of such fancy things as stamped and painted fingernails, I loved them so much that I did both hands and went out on the town. Sorry, Marilla! They are my 'puffed sleeves' if you will.
What flower says 'summer' to you?
