So, let's get some nail pics on this polish blog, eh? I know it's been a while.
OPI DS Temptation is one of the most recent additions to the Designer Series. & while they're not as holographically awesome as many of the original colors, it's still a blurple glittergasm & a totally gorgeous polish:
I could have & should have left well enough alone but after a day or 2 I thought I would add some stamping with Komad image plate m69 - I don't know WTF was going on with my white stamping polish, but this is how it turned out - just a patchy mess, worse than it shows up in pics, and not my best job at matching edges either:
Not cool. Not cool at all - especially late at night without time for a complete change. So I attempted to cover it all up, using Zoya Izzy, from their 2011 Gems & Jewels Holiday collection:
I didn't quite get the coverage I was looking for after a couple of coats, so I attempted further camouflage with OPI Servin' Up Sparkle, from one of the Serena Williams duos that I picked up a while ago:
& while I wasn't quite happy with it that way either, by that time it was too late & I just kind of gave up LOL. Needless to say the next day I soaked the whole mess off & found something simple & awesome to replace it with ... which I'll share with you soon =)
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteI have done that too - keep putting something else on to make it look better lol. Sometimes works...I must see if you have a tutorial on double stamping as I keep messing that up. Some of my nails are too wide rather than too long :(. Love your blog btw and hope your cat is doing well :) xx

ReplyDeleteI kind of like the Zoya with the stripes showing :) You gotta have fail manis to feel good about the awesome ones though, dontcha? :)
ReplyDeletePretty colors bust I must admit that I'm not very fond of the shape of your nails. They seem to be too large on top.
ReplyDeleteTemptation is gorgeous!!! I like the final result as well. I hate when I add things to my mani and it goes all kinds of wrong, lol.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks for sharing.
