Mermaid

Good Morning All!!  Today in Purple Crumpet Fairy/Crumpet's Nail Tarts the challenge was to do "mermaids".
I went with the tried and true mani , using the image plate Mash -39

The Cast of Characaters for the base...

I used the CG as a matte mani yesterday, and then did sort of a gradient last night....the colors that I chose didn't show up too well  :(   A top coat of WnW Fastdry  Blue wants to be a Millionarire was placed...

It was after this that the gradient was not noticable because the shades were soooo close to the same....

Stamping was done with SH Diamond Strength Deeply Violet.

Well, here is my Mermaid....hope it passes inspection!!
My new  LeaLac plate came yesterday...those images are HUGE...really overpowers my small nails :(
I am going to make them work today...be back later....have a blessed day......Jackie

Exotic Gradient

Hello All.....I had my 3rd....you heard me...3rd root canal in the last two weeks today  :(   I am so swollen that I look like I have Elephant Man Disease...also alot of pain.....but I did manage to do a quick gradient mani last night. I won't do much talking (it hurts), I will just let the pics do it....

Cast of Characters....

Gradient...

The finished product....

I actually got a couple of compliments on this today!!!  Thanks for stopping in, Which Way Wednesday may be a day late this week....have a blessed evening......Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All...it's Which Way Wednesday   :) I picked up a new Spoiled  yesterday and that is what I used as my base....Distant Memory.....   I love the faint shimmer!!

 I chose Mash IP 49 for my stamping...

  Okay, the  first way is stamped with Klean  Color Metallic Jungle...

It is weird how the camera can just loose it's mind and switch up on the shade   :(

The second way... double stamped using Pure Ice Platinum....  I think maybe I should have used this first, it is kinda hard to see both of them....

 And lastly, I used a matte top coat...

So, what do you think....which way???  I like #1 and #2.

Thank you all sooo much for taking the time to take a look   :)   See ya tomorrow, I have the Queen and the Princess here for my hand models!!!

Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge Day 3, Small Flowers...My Back to the Tropics Flower Bed

Good Friday Morning!!  I got up EARLY  and decided to do this mani.  You know how much I love to sponge, so I did!!!  I did a base coat of a franken that I made some time ago...a very pale green creme. My Cast Of Characters was sponging with China Glaze Starboare, Spoiled My Silicone Popped, and  WnW Fast Dry  The Wonder Yellows.  Konad Special Polish in white was used for stamping with  IP SH20.  
I am not sure how I like it...I just don't like real pale colors with my skin tone  :(  But here it is!!!

Thanks for stopping in!!!  Have a wonderful Friday!!
