So as I wrote on Wednesday I finally figured out a way to fix my photo compression on Blogger! Unfortunately, the only way that I was able to do this was to switch to a Google+ account:( So from now one any replies to comments will be with my name, Sandra Barry, and not Petite & Polish because Google will not allow me to change my name to the blog name. The upside is that my photos will again look the high quality, colour accurate(as much as my camera will allow) and none fuzzy!
And now, on to the Challenge. For day 24 we were to create a mani using the colour of polish we have the most of. For me it really is a toss up between green and blue, so I decided to use both. I started with a base of 2 coats of Barry M's Turquoise, which is really more bright blue, it has very little green in the formula.
I topped this with SV and once it was dry I added a gradient of Turquoise and Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Garter Toss, which is, I think, an even lighter mint green then Essie's Mint Candy Apple, I may have to do a comparison of my mints, that would be fun.
Again, I added SV and let dry before I began my stamping. For my stamping I used Klean Color Metallic Jungle(don't ask me why it is jungle when it is blue, it should be Metallic Ocean!) and GALS GA33 plate for the image.
I really like how well all the Klean Color Metallics stamp and I would love to get more of them, since the only ones I have are a mini set I found at Winners(win for me!). I thought the metallic added a bit of shine and sparkle to an otherwise creme mani.
That is all for now but I will be back on Sunday with my next Falling for Nail Art mani, the theme is Baked Goods, and I didn't stamp! Although I do have an apple pie image and a doughnut image! I restrained myself and the next mani if freehand.
Until then, polish happy!
