Take a color, any color, make it a dusty, greyed-out version of itself, and I like it. I think the nail polish companies have found my weakness.
I knew I'd be stamping. I used the plant-like stamp from Mash-17 and three different colors to make this pattern. First, I used NYX Girls in 103, a royal blue. This was good for stamping - I got a clear stamp every time. Next, I used Zoya Robyn, a bright blue. I didn't put it right on top of the other stamp - I experimented with different placements. Finally, I wanted to use a chrome polish because I didn't like it on its own, and I read they were good for stamping. This is China Glaze Metallic Muse. It was more opaque than I thought it would be. I liked it a lot for stamping. Next time, I might use it first, to create a metallic shadow behind the other colors.
Really liking the subtle metallic shimmer and abstract look from multiple stamps of the same pattern.
Right hand:
I see mostly full-nail stamps on the nail blogs, but I think the small stamps also deserve some love. And, for people like me with small nails, you can create some interesting patterns.
