Here's the base. Two coats of FingerPaints Lemon Sour. The polish was a little on the thick side but nothing a few drops of thinner didn't fix. Accent is one coat of Orly Mirror Mirror with two coats of OPI My Pointe Exactly. I know this may seem redundant to use a base for this very jelly polish, but I wanted to have a little coverage before it was added. The OPI did add a whole different element of glossiness to the gray; not sure if it translates well in the pix though...or if it really mattered because I stamped on top of it anyway!
Stamped using Konad black special polish using Big SdP M.
Urgghh...this mani is one of a string of stamping fails I've had recently as I've been missing the stamping all the way down to the tips plus along the curve at the tips of my some nails but I've been especially messing up the index finger lately. So I took a fine tip brush and just added in the lines down past the tips....somewhat. Looking at some of these pix, it seems I still missed a few spots. *sigh* Anyway, added a few white dots in the centre of the flowers using Konad white special polish.
Then a few yellow dots using the FingerPaints Lemon Sour on the accent nail and then topped with a coat of SV.
I'm still on the fence about this one. It does seem a little busy but I don't think I mind it..maybe? I guess its OK, but I don't think I'll be rushing to do another yellow and gray mani anytime soon...but it was cool for a change!
Thanks for looking!
PS: I'm still working on the Giveaway post...I've typed a draft but still need to edit it...should be soon though!

ReplyDeleteMaybe a dot of grey in the middle of one of the yellow nails flower's would give you a balance you might need? idk - it's good to me like I said :) *hug*

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Yellow black and gray are a great combo and I think popular for this spring & summer! I've seen several adorable sundresses with this color combo!
