Here are a couple of
polishes that have been sitting in my stash of untrieds for a while now. Time
to give them a day out! I started off with two coats of Maybelline’s “Tenacious
Teal”. I actually don’t think it is teal at all, I think it’s green. The
formula was only so-so. The first coat looked streaky and awful, but the second
coat levelled it all out after a bit of careful work.
Here’s what that polish
looks like, without top coat:
Then I taped my nails
diagonally across with masking tape, and painted the lower half of my nails
with a coat of one of my polishes from Japan: pa “AA27”. Man!! Those
Japanese glitters are just gorgeous, I love them!
Here’s that step. There’s
one coat of Seche Vite top coat over it:
It’s on purpose that the
lines are curvy. I used a pair of craft scissors to cut the tape with. Next
time I’ll buy scissors where the curve is sharper, so it shows more on the
nails. Here’s what my scissors look like:
For the stamping part I
chose Mash stamping plate number 49, and I stamped with a very dark green/teal
from Hot Looks, called “Shameless”. I used Seche Vite as my top coat to seal
the design up:
And from a different angle:
The stamping does a lot for
me. I mean, I like the angled glitter over the plain crème, but the stamp just
adds that little extra, that I like so much. But enough about what I like. Do
you like this?
