Stamping Over Red

This weeks FB Adventures in Stamping Challenge was stamping over red.  This is the mani I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Adventure Red-y.

Added a little glitter at the tips using Orly Halo; this pix has no topcoat on the tips.  Halo is fast becoming one of my favourite polishes for adding some glitter interest at the tips; I'm seriously contemplating if I should be trying to track down a backup from Sally's I love it so much and its so versatile going with any colour!

Stamped using fauxnad P12 with Konad white special polish.

This is one of my favourite snowflake images; however, the smallest image doesn't stamp clearly; just kinda blobby.  So I isolated the large ones and used them somewhat like a french tip. 

Lastly, topped with SV.

Thanks for looking!

Glittery Mess? Or Success?

Well, Christmas will soon be upon us so I thought it may be time to start rocking some holiday and winter manis....this is OPI Smitten with Mittens from the 2009 OPI Holiday Wishes collection.




Stamped with Orly Luxe and Scratchers stamping polish in platinum (similar to Sally Hansen Celeb City) using Konad IP m59 and fauxnads HB23, HB11 and P12.



The pix do not do this polish justice....it really is beautiful...and the stamps do glitter in real life....





So what do you think...glittery mess .... or success?

Thanks for looking!
