ELF Midnight

Let’s start with a brief swatch of ELF Midnight. When I originally applied Midnight, it looked like it’d be a lovely midnight blue shimmer in the bottle but on my nails it just looked black. Maybe if I had bright lighting, it’d look blue… So what did I do? Rummaged through my CND effects until I found Sapphire Sparkle. It really made a difference, totally brought out the blue shimmer! So in this thumb photo you can see the difference. I love my CND effects.

I stamped with Bundle Monster 21 and Avon Mirror Shine in Pink Ice (which is amazing btw)

Yeah I stamped over that striped thumb 😛

Burgundy Argyle

I don’t know… Something about the argyle stamp just doesn’t like me.

Base- Essie Velvet Voyeur, and Pure Ice Sterling Silver for stamping.
While we’re here at it, here’s a swatch of Essie Velvet Voyeur:

 I didn’t clean up to show you the formula is kind of runny, and especially with vampy shades like this it’s v. easy to make a holy mess. D: But the color is gorgeous, it’s a deep chocolaty burgundy.

Cherries

Here kind of begins a red theme, or a Valentine’s day theme week sort of thing.

 Pure Ice Sterling Silver for the base, and Essie Silken Cord for the stamping.
