Day 21: Inspired by a Color

I chose (like a few other nail bloggers) to interpret this prompt as "inspired by a color name" as in the names ont eh bottom of polish bottles. I went with the color Silver Star, by Pure Ice. I did a base coat of darker silver, SinfulColors' Silver Screen, then stamped stars on my nails with PureIce's Silver Star polish. the stamp plates used were Mash 36 and Mash 49. The results:

 

I think it turned out GREAT. I was initially afraid the silvers would be too similar but they surprised me and contrasted JUST enough to make a very pretty silver star print.

How did you interpret today's prompt?

Day 6: Purple.

Ugh. First paint job was a DISASTER. I'll just show you...

So maybe "disaster" is a strong word but I hated the result... I didn't want a straight gradient, so I added the dots and immediately regretted it.

So I did a second one. xD

Scrapped the gradient and went for STAMPS!

KleanColor Metallic Purple and Metallic Fuchsia as base colors and Pure Ice Silver Star for the stamps.

The ring finger's stamp is the same silver stamp as the other fingers but when I added the top coat it drew pigment from the base color into the silver.

I really, REALLY, need to get my fingers more moisturized. I need to buy gloves so I can apply lotion then gloves then go to bed and hope it helps revive my skin.

Also when I went to do stamps I couldn't find my stamper thing... I just about had a panic attack I was afraid my ferrets had stolen the thing and eaten the rubber bits. That would have sucked. But no, it was in a baggy on my table with my orange sticks and my scraper card and stuff. the LAST place I looked. I even had a flashlight out and was looking under my TV stand and cabinet.... I so silly.

Anyway it is bed time.
