Blurple with pink shimmer
Fancy Pants is from China Glaze’s Avant Garden
collection from spring 2013 and the only one I bought from that collection. I
almost bought another one, Sunday Funday, it’s a lovely turquoise, but it’s a
plain crème, so I gave it a miss.
The formula was the good China Glaze quality. It took two coats to reach
the desired opacity, and the drying time between coats was pretty good.
I couldn’t quite decide whether this was a blue or a purple, hence the
blurple in the title, but here it is, two coats, no topcoat:
I absolutely love the pink shimmer that this polish has got. In fact, I
wouldn’t have bought it if it wasn’t for the shimmer! Here’s a pic taken from a
different angle:
Pretty, yes?
I wanted to stamp on it, because I’ve just got myself some XL stamping
plates, and I wanted to try them out. I stamped with Color Club’s “Cloud Nine”,
which is an amazing pink linear holographic. I used the stamping plate B for
this purpose. The top coat is from Poshé.
I stamped with my XL stamper, which is extremely soft and squishy and I
haven’t quite gotten used to it yet. It’s so soft that it’s possible to stretch
and bend the motifs. Take a look at my middle finger, and see how psychedelic
that looks! O_o
The sun was not wiling to cooperate so here’s a picture taken under a
light bulb:
The holographic stamping makes this mani looking really spectacular and
if I hadn’t know better I would have thought that the base colour was holo too
(which it isn’t, of course!)
How is this? Do you like it as much as I do? :)

The holo stamping looks great on the beautiful Fancy Pants!

ReplyDeleteI like this kind of weird designs :)
DeleteThank you!
PS. I can't comment on your blog! Did you change your settings, by any chance?
Hmm, Blogger offers me to enable google+ comments and I agreed. So faq tells that you can't use this type of comment if you don't have a google+ profile. :(
DeleteI really don't like this new additions because it's a garbage for old and simple system
I'm not crazy about the new stuff either, and especially when they change things so they become difficult :/
DeleteI'll keep trying and see if it ever gets easier :)
This is so pretty :) love the stamping!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I'm glad to hear it :)
