All the Beautiful people

Sunshine why won't you come out and play?

I am so annoyed with the lack of sunshine!
It really makes it hard to get decent pictures that show the dimention of this but Father Sun is hiding out!

I used a base of Finger Paints Icy Iris, a beautiful deep purple with fushia shimmer.
3 coats because I'm OCD like that. Great application, smooth and very even.
I love the look of the full nail images but my nails are way too long so I took matters into my own hands.
I used Color Club Fashion Addict and Konad Image plate m40 and stamped repeatedly in different directions and angles to cover the nail a get that pretty wrapping paper/ Brocade velvet look.







I am so glad I splurged and bought Icy Iris, it looks almost glass flecked in some light.
i love it!

  3. Oh, yeah! I love what you did with it, it's freaking GORGEOUS with the konad over it! I picked this one up too, i have a weakness for purples anyway, and it's a beautiful color, you definitely achieved that "brocade" look you were going for!

  8. It looks so great on you! I can tell that Konading your nails is very time consuming since they're so long. Great job!

  9. gildedangel- Thank You!

    BloodyLipstick- Surprisingly it doesn't take too long. Probably longer than those with short to average length but not bad.

  12. I also want the minds at Konad to invent a stamper for curved nail beds! You did such beautiful stamping even without such inventions.

    Today was definitely a purple day! I love your selection. It looks textural like museum quality silk wallpaper. <3

  15. What a beautiful purple. Love the shimmer of fuschia in it. Very pretty design on your nails. I so want to have nails as long as yours. I'm trying to grow them. I'll hold my nails up to yours so my nails can see what they have to do! Have a nice weekend sweetie.
