Base Color: OPI Flit a Bit (From their 2010 Summer Flutter collection)
Stamping Color: Wet n Wild Black Creme (gee this sure is a staple, lol)
Bundle Monster plate

Wasn’t enough though…

Mattified for a final look 🙂 The matte topcoat used is Essie Matte About You.

Here lies a cautionary tale: Don’t apply a matte topcoat after stamping, apply a protective topcoat THEN matte it down. Why? It smudges!

Base Color: OPI DS Original
Stamping Color: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Born Pretty plate M12

Nummy nummy holographics… I love ’em.

Unfortunately while we got into the sweet sixteen bracket, we didn’t advance any further than that today 😦

Base: Orly Mint Mojito
Stamping Color: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Konad M61

When I first put the Orly color on, I wasn’t too sure how it looked on me… I think it kind of looked gross, but the Black Creme became the savior 😉

 Began with OPI Thanks So Muchness! then layered Nfu Oh 52 over it…

 It actually had a strong green tinted shimmer, but the camera insisted on picking up blue. Pretty though 😀

Stamped China Glaze Cherish, a green chrome, with a Konad m64 plate. Then mattified the whole thing down with China Glaze Matte Magic.

Lessons learned? While painting Seche Vite over the flakies so it would dry faster for the stamping, that particular layer has shrunk over time and last night it was verging on just plain gross. It was pulling up so we would see red-orange around the cuticles, and it looked downright grotesque, even with a shimmer so it looked legit! Eww.
