OPI Give me the Moon! and Eternal Basic with flowers

OPI Give me the Moon and Eternal Basic with flowers

Base is OPI Give me the Moon! and I added chervon tips with Eternal Basic mini-m18 (Japanese brand) before drawing on pink flowers with acrylic paint. OPI Give me the Moon! is a very light grey sheer with blue shimmer, while the Eternal Basic polish is a pretty blue polish with flakes that flash pink (which you can see in the bottle).

Essence Iced Latte stamped with China Glaze Awaken BM315 and mattified with Rimmel


I previously did Essence Iced Latte stamped with China Glaze Awaken here and thought they went well together so tried it again. Actually I chose a floral image from BM215 but it turned out quite badly as the flowers were positioned at the sides and got cut off so I ended up with random looking bits of grey everywhere. Didn't take a pic but below was what was roughly what I saw on my nails :(

Anyway, I had to clean it off (luckily I had top coated before that so I didn't have to redo the base coat) and I chose a simpler image in BM315. Simpler in terms of design but not in terms of stamping (>.<) As you can see, I had difficulty in aligning it straight and getting the lines imprinted clearly. But generally if you don't look closely, it is fine :p

At the end, I added Rimmel Mattifying Top Coat to get a soft look.

Essence Nude Glam polishes stamped with China Glaze Awaken and BM315

Essence Nude Glam polishes stamped with China Glaze Awaken and BM315

I had meant to do the swatches of the Essence Nude Glam polishes and remove them for a new mani but ended up too lazy hence the skittles :p

China Glaze Awaken is dark metallic grey and is good for stamping but pretty thick on its own, had difficulty painting the tips because of its consistency.

Anyway, found that Awaken looks great with Essence Iced Latte (index and pinky), think I shall do another stamping with this color combi another time :)

Thanks for viewing!
