May Challenges - Favourite Brand / Favourite Technique

Today the prompt for #30daysofcolourchallenge was Favourite Brand/Favourite Technique.
Brand is a tricky one - I have 4 or 5 favourite International Indie brands but the brand I have most of is Above the Curve so I have chosen Ravenclaw for this mani. This is from the Harry Potter Collection and it is the most beautiful blue holo. It is slightly teal and has pink, tealy blue and purple glitter as well as the gorgeous holo. The camera couldn't pick up the glitter but at least I caught the holo. This is a lovely polish, even in the shade the dusky blue is beautiful.
Favourite technique was easy - stamping - yay!!!
I stamped over Ravenclaw with Mentality Beige Opaque and Emily de Molly EDM04. I think the gold peacock feathers look great over the blue background. This is quite striking when you look in detail as the glitters show through the gold stamping but from a distance the impression is of a soft delicate mani.
Finally I added another favourite brand, A England. I used Saint George to stamp a single peacock feather on each nail. I love the green over the gold, the blue is only just visible. Frustratingly, the image is not as clear in the photos as it is to the naked eye but the overall combination of colours is lovely.
