Good evening ladies!
Following the success of my previous manicure, I decided to do another one using Barry M Pink Irridescent :-) Here's what I started with:

I started with Essence Very Berry and layered Pink Irridescent over it.

I liked this so much I even decided it would be appropriate for work ;-)

The only problem was that I had a lot of tip wear after less than a day so I stamped a Bundle Monster star image over it using Barry M Foil Effects in silver:

The stamping worked better on some nails than on others but oh well. I find that unless I use a topcoat over my stamping, the stamping gradually rubs off during the day. When I stamped I couldn't be bothered with the smell of China Glaze Fast Forward so I simply layered another layer of glitter on top to protect the stamping :-)

What do you think girls?
Bye for now,
Laura
very pretty mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love it! Very pretty, and yes, stamps do rub off unless you add a coat of top coat or something on top :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) It's so annoying when stamps rub off and your nails just end up looking a mess!
DeleteEeeee I love this so much!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love your reaction! Thanks :-)
DeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletelove the stars!
ReplyDeleteEssence and Barry M reminds me of a Color Club I have. Ultra Astral, from the Starry Temptress collection. I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteStarry Temptress is a great name!
DeleteLove the combo with stamping - I have the same problem with the stamping rubbing off but it means that if I stuff it up I can try to pick it off :)
ReplyDeleteThat's true, we can have second chances for stamping lol
DeleteLooks lovely! =]
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe pink is pretty with the glitter.:D
