Create a manicure based on this!
Challenge accepted, I said:
Here it is! 😉 But to keep the authenticity of the inspiration, I mattified it all down and the final product (viz., what I have on my nails now) would be this:
Base: Orly Cashmere Cardigan (it pulls too blue in this picture though, it’s a lot more periwinkle and purpley)
Black: Color Club Where’s the Soiree? freehanded
Stamp: Konad M64 with Icing by Claire’s Sterling Silver

I was inspired by Emerald Sparkled’s look, and created something similar.
Sorry for the crap photo quality, but this is the most color accurate photo I could get of Essie Turquoise & Caicos, a color that my camera insists is blue. But my Flip camera sees otherwise!

So every now and then Nick likes to give me weird ideas for a manicure, and I have to carry them out. Part of our deal for him allowing me to have so many polish! 😛 His inspiration this time?
A heart shaped, silk covered box of chocolates from Godiva that he bought for me yesterday, Valentine’s Day 🙂
Hard to see isn’t it?? What I did was set a base red, then make a thick stripe with a shimmery red, then stamped over it with a stripe pattern from one of my BM plates and then lastly a very dark red for the rose. It’s a very textured look that my camera won’t pick up. 😦 You can see the stamping pattern in my middle finger nail if you look to the left of the rose.
Colors used: (all China Glaze) Salsa for the base, Red Stallion for the shimmery stripe, Thunderbird for the stamp, Naughty and Nice for the rose stamp.

It’s a friend of mine’s birthday today, and Nick thought it’d be fun if I painted “HBDAY LIANE” on his fingernails and here is the proof 😉 First time doing letters, and it’s not too shabby!
She actually seemed to really like them! Then again she is also a lacquerhead…

That’s what I think my nails remind me of. Sparkly green background, a silver diagonal stripe for the ribbons and a final red dot as a finishing touch 😉 It’s not cleaned up… Oh well!
