Wiki'd Nails - Random - Little Fish

This week's challenge for Wiki'd Nails was Random - and I got Little Fish! a strange page with references through to a selection of other fish related pages but it came up after about 20 hits on the random button so I figured it would do!

I stamped some little fish I found swimming along the bottom of Fab Ur Nails FUN 17 over the flakie/scaley mani from earlier in the week using 2true Pro Metallica Arete and Athena.

It looked OK but then to add to my underwater scene I added a coat of  Violet Rose Polish I Have a Dream - more flakies!!! I think these gave it a really nice finishing touch.

July Challenges - Swirls

The challenge for #clairestelle8july was Swirls.
I started with a holo base, a beautiful Above the Curve polish which I won in a competition. This poor pretty polish has no name, just Desk Clear 13.
Then I added swirls with Fab Ur Nails FUN 17 and A England Proserpine. These were cool - I love this image and I think the colours worked well together but after a while they makes you dizzy, so I added a second layer to tone it all down a bit!
The 2nd layer of swirls were from Apipila Super Plate B stamped with 2 true Pro Metallica Arete. I think these worked well too and they are quite elegant!

June Challenges - Texture / Geometric

Yesterday's challenge for #30daysofcolourchallenge was Texture / Geometric. I seem to be playing catch up a lot this week, too much going on!
Anyway, I started with Avon Magic Effect Mineral Crush Agate. This is the most gorgeous blue, a really lovely sparkly dark cornflower blue - I am so pleased with all my Avon textured polishes - as far as I can see they are every bit as good as the other brands and actually they seem to dry to a hard finish quicker and are a bit easier to remove.
I love this blue so much I almost didn't want to stamp on it, and I did wear it for half a day on its own.
I stamped with Fab Ur Nails FUN 17 and Hit the Bottle Magenta at Your Own Risk. This pink is awesome! I love dark pink with dark blue and I think this combination is just perfect.
I am so sorry the pictures are not brilliant, to the naked eye the clarity of stamping is spot on, but the camera is a bit confused I think with all the texture.
Because this is so pretty I have NOT double stamped this mani! I do like to be a bit experimental with double stamping but that requires top-coating for easy removal and I haven't top coated this.
