Hello Lovelies! I have finally made it back to post! I've been having a very hard time posting this week since my littlest has decided that I shouldn't be able to do anything save for chasing him around in an attempt to stop him from destroying the house. I'll sit down to post and he will immediately run up and start yanking on me and screaming and crying. It's very tedious, and I really hope this phase ends soon. I haven't even been able to clean, since he finds that unacceptable as well. It looks like I'm going to have to start writing my posts at night and scheduling them for the mornings, even though when I do that, they never seem to actually post. Ahhhh Blogger problems!
Today I have this week's Mish Mash Challenge mani to share with you all. I've been dying to get this posted since I love the design. This week's theme is Triangles, and although I had some much more intricate designs in my head, lack of time led me back to stamping. I'm fully okay with that though, since stamping is my very fave type of nail art and I'm falling in love with it all over again.
For this manicure I chose Sinful Colors Cotton Candy, a pink creme with subtle silvery shimmer, as my base color. Because I didn't want to stick with just one straight color, I added a gradient using Sinful Colors Outrages, a bright raspberry pink. Then I grabbed my trusty DRK-A plate from Dashica beauty and used Konad Black to stamp on this ultra-cool geometric pattern that includes lots of funky triangles. My only complaint is that my Konad Black is close to empty, and I had to thin it down to make it usable. This led to some streaking when I went to top coat, but it's not really obvious IRL. If Dex permits, I'll be ordering more Konad black today.
Man, I love gradients and stamping! The smearing from my poor old Konad black makes me cringe, but since I know it's just from thinning it down, I can live with it. I'm also so very in love with Dashica's Big stamping plates. I really need to order a couple more of those. I swear they're the best stamping plates around.
I also really love the polishes I used here. Cotton Candy was a dream to work with, and although Outrages is more of a crelly, it still works well for a gradient. Plus, how long has it been since I've done a gradient mani? Feels like ages!
What do you think of my Triangle Mani? Be sure to check out all the Mish Mash challengers and their Triangle nails!
I'll be back (Dexter willing!) tomorrow with some Lac Attack and more Indie swatches. I'm slowly but surely catching up! I also have some cool nail art supplies from Born Pretty Store to share, so watch for those.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
