Digit-al Dozen Does Floral; Day 4

Here we are at Day 4 for Digit-al Dozen floral week!  I did this mani a couple nights ago; I didn't have any intention of using it as one of my five floral mani's this week as I had my five mani's already picked out to share, but liked how it turned out so much, I thought I might as well share now!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of El Corazon 235, no topcoat.  I have no idea what drew me to this polish enough to order it!  I mean, it is pretty enough with a hint of shimmer and holo....but just not my style at all.  I guess I was getting out of my comfort zone lol!


Added a layer of Elevation Polish Aguja St. Exupery.  This pix again has no top coat.  I have an immediate need to layer Elevation Aguja St. Exupery on top of everything stat!  


I am so glad that I got a backup bottle....it is a beautiful topper!


I wasn't sure what colour to use for stamping; I thought any of brown, black, gold or white would work out well for this.  As it is so neutral, I'm sure there are other colours too that would work but I decided to use white; stamped using Konad white special polish using an image from Chez Floral 009.


Added a little glitter accent to a few of the floral centres for some interest. 


Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


While I'm much more into brights and bolds, I really liked the subtle, classy look of these nails; I think these would be oh, so pretty as bridal nails too!

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's!

  6. Oh my word! I love these a ton! I think I need those two base polishes stat! Because, it's all about that base, 'bout that base. :) Sorry, had too. But then you go and stamp on it and create a gorgeous work of art! Love it!
