Stamping de Mayo


Hello, Fireflies!

Today's Sunday Stamping challenge is 'Cinco de Mayo.'  Everyone thinks this is the equivalent of the Mexican Independence Day, but it's really just an excuse to drink a lot and wear sombreros. 

To that end, I picked a base polish that looked like a margarita and a party - Cosmiss 3, a lime green glitter bomb I bought from Born Pretty.

I picked this stamp from DRK-B because I thought it looked like confetti, and who doesn't like confetti at a party?  Only the person cleaning it up afterwards, that's who.


Maybe I should have picked a more contrasting color, but I liked the way Maybelline Bold Gold didn't overshadow the glitter too much.

A little subdued, maybe, for a party nail, but believe you me - if I'm drinking margaritas, I'll be making such a fool of myself, no one is going to be looking at my nails.

Are you celebrating with Mexican food and drink tonight? I'm hoping to score some margaritas!
