We back for another triad! This time it was Joyce's turn and she is definitely getting me back for the spider from October.
She chose this mani by @ane_li. Which is intimidating by itself, but she chose one with a marble!! So I wanted to do a actual marble and I tried, but I had spreading problems and design issues. I then did what any rational person would do and I reached for my stamping plates.
Since I don't have any watermarble stamping plates ( I know, sad really), but just random images on random plates... I looked for one that looked "petal-ly", as BF said the original looked "petal-ly". And this is what I did.
I started with two coats of Hean City Fashion 169 on my thumb and index, two coats of City Fashion 164 on my pinky and two coats of Hean I love Hean 873 from the pastel collection on my middle and ring finger.
For the gradient I used (from the tip) City Fashion 164, 169, 174 and I love Hean 873. On my ring finger I stamped using an image from BP-L005 and essence white stampy polish. I top coated and then a coat of OPI matte top coat on my middle and ring finger.
When I settled with a stamp and colours I kinda thought to myself, how is Joyce going to do this... Because obviously she won't do a marble on all her nails.
What do you think? It's clearly inspired by the original (hopefully) and it has a dash of Joyce (or at least I think it does).
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop over and give Michelle and Joyce some love!
Ohhhhh... this is gorgeous!!!! And it definitely has a dash of me as well (in fact, it looks a lot like mine, just way nicer :)
ReplyDeleteAnd while gushing I totally forgot to mention that I love your idea of stamping. Hubby commented your marble looks great so you chose perfectly!
