40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Pastels

This weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge is pastels; I had added prompt of nude base.  Let me tell you; I don't think I could have gotten anything harder!  It was so hard to find pastels colours that were dark enough to show up over a nude base (not withstanding that apparently I don't own many pastel stamping polishes) but I gave it a try anyway! Here's what I came up with!

Started with two coats of piCture pOlish Beige; shown below without top coat.  

Topped with a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

Did a gradient using MoYou London stamping polishes in Dusty Cloud, Olive Tree and Sage Smoke.  Image is from Sugar Bubbles SB040.

This is just meh to me; I love the image, the stamping colours and the base is one of my favourite nudes but its too bleached for me; I much prefer brights and bolds but it was OK for a change!

Here's the other ladies pastel manis with all the different prompts!
