I'm not terribly into fashion, so when I was surfing the net for inspiration for another fashion mani, I Googled famous dresses. Didn't see anything too exciting (or at least something I thought I might be able to stamp close enough to resemble one!) so then did a search for Oscar dresses....a pix came up on the results (even though it wasn't worn at the Oscar's!) that I decided to use for inspiration; here's what I came up with.
This was the dress I used as inspiration, a Carolina Herrara dress worn by Lucy Liu at the 2012 Golden Globes.
Started with a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Sugar High, topped with SV. The base isn't as close in these pix as I wanted; obviously there are some screen colour variations as when I was doing this mani last night using a pix I had picked on my iphone, the base was bang on but these pix, my base isn't nearly light enough. Or could be my camera/lighting.
Stamped leaves from plate MM07 using Sally Hansen Insta-dri Jumpin' Jade. (Really liking the mani just like this!)
Plate pix of MM07.
While I fully intended to use the assortment of single roses in different sizes from this plate, when I did a test stamp on a nail on my right hand, I wasn't liking how the rose looked. Decided upon an image from DRK-A and then stamped random roses throughout using FUN stamping polish in Mango Shake and a franken made by mixing Konad pastel orange and pastel pink special polishes. ( I dabbed a bit of both directly on the image plate, mixed up a little using an orange stick, then scraped and stamped.)
Topped with SV. (See the shimmer in Jumpin' Jade once it's top coated; it's most noticeable on the middle finger...love it!)
Here's the other ladies Day 4 Fashion mani's.
Thanks for looking!
Very pretty. I really like the leaves pattern. I am not into fashion much at all so I would have such a hard time with this theme. I would probably have to do sneakers or something lol
