November Challenges - Another recreation

Mary @dreamymm was keeping us busy last week as she was celebrating 5,000 followers and hosted a giveaway with a difference. She challenged us to recreate one of her manis. Having never done a recreation before, there I was, faced with two in one week.
Again, the choice was bewildering - so many pretty manis to chose from but I chose one that I loved the colours on and thought I could recreate reasonably convincingly.
I didn't have the right plates, and used a different technique for the base but I just had to have those colours!! I used Vivid Lacquer VL038 and Colour Alike a Kind of Black over a base of Kleancolor Metallic Yellow, Metallic Green and Metallic Jungle (blue).
I used the 3 Kleancolors to paint my nails and then stamped 2 images from VL038 - both were a sort of snake skin pattern but one more open than the other - so overlapped they looked a lot more random, which was my intention.
I was really pleased with the way it turned out and the Instagram feedback was amazing!
