Started with a base of two coats of Aly's Dream Polish Unbleached (#61).
While this is pretty enough and like I said, I was just going to do some simple stamping on top of it, I decided to do a holo gradient so added two coats of Aly's Dream Polish Copper (#64) two on two thirds of the nail. (If I had have had more time, I would have sponged these gradients on for a more subtle line of polishes and a more blended in look, but I knew I'd be stamping over it and didn't have the time to wait for drying, etc. for the sponging.)
Added two coats of Aly's Dream Polish Cherry Coke (#32) at the tips. This has no topcoat, nor was topcoat used in between layers.
After waiting about 15 minutes (including 5 minutes under a hand dryer), I stamped with black Konad special polish using SdP 92.
Topped with SV (after terrible cleanup, I see!).
Here's the mani in different lighting. I'm still wearing this mani today; these pix are more accurate in colour but don't show the holo as well.
A pix taken outside the next day. The holo is much more pronounced than shown though. Not a very good pix unfortunately.
Aly's Dream Polishes are sold here!
Even though these may not be ultra professional....or even a business neutral nail, I work in a somewhat relaxed business atmosphere so can pretty much do anything for work. In any event, I'm sure these nails would have been more subtle than the bright and funky 70's I wanted to do!
Have a fantastic weekend...thanks for looking!
