Sunday Stamping - Opposites on the Color Wheel
Today's stamping challenge was to do opposites on the color wheel. I first picked a lovely red-violet polish, and found that the opposite was yellow-green. Oh, boy.
Lacquerhead Polish Plum Crazy. This is a jelly polish with subtle holo sparkle. It probably took about 3-3.5 coats of polish to reach opacity, and under the bright light showed a little VNL, but you couldn't tell in Real Life. I really like this red plum color! It does dry semi-matte, so you'll need topcoat for that shine.
I figured I'd have some trouble making the green show up over the plum, so I first stamped with Milani Pearl White.
Then, I stamped over it again with Nabi Green. I ended up dabbing some more green on to make it show up. Kind of a fail, really. I love the color combo MUCH more than I thought I would, but my execution was lacking!
The plate - Mash 50. You have to use your imagination, but the vines on my nails look like the ones on the plate. Can you see it now?
Bottle shot: Nabi Green Hologram, and Lacquerhead Polish Plum Crazy. Two colors I never would have put together, but I liked!
What's an unlikely pairing you made that you ended up liking?
