Feels Like Fall

I’m really thrilled with how this turned out. Mel started by throwing out some colors she liked and I was playing around with sponging. We’ve decided it may be August and 102 degrees in other parts of the world but it’s starting to feel like fall.

We apologize now about some of our imprecision in identifying what we used to achieve this design, hell, like we said we ended up making the Kioski lady in Hawaii’s month. We bought the big sheets of stamp designs so we don’t exactly know:

1.     Who the manufacturer of the plates are

2.     Not sure how to identify the designs for you. Your best guess and description might be better than ours.

3.     Not really sure the name of this nail polish is for real. It reads “Special Nail Paint,” “product of China.”

Enough disclaimers…here’s what we did.

·      Base coat: Sparitual

·      Main color: Special Nail Paint Yellow (we added the color since it’s not on the bottle).

·      First sponged color: Pure Ice – Naughty Girl

·      Second sponged color: DFW – Rome

·      Third sponged color primarily on the tips: OPI – DS Glow

·      Stamp is from the large plate we bought in Hawaii

·      Extra dots were added with regular black polish

·      Top coat – OPI – Start to Finish Base and Top Coat (warning we have ordered, prior to the 12 step program, a better top coat. We went with this because it looked the least likely of our top coats to glob and smear the stamp. We have found when stamping you can reactivate the polish and smear the whole bloody lot, not fun.)

The finished product.
