My 1st all-over.

I finally tried it, and boy, was it easy! Now, this is NOT an original design or even thought, but with so many examples with this color combo and this plate, I thought surely I could do it!
I used Super Base from Diamond Cosmetics followed by 2 coats of Jessica "Sunset Blvd." This black is very shiny, a little difficult to spread evenly. Maybe that's just black in general??? It left a couple of bald spots, but with the 2nd coat was OK. I then used CG Millennium and M63. (this is going to become one of my favorite plates!) As others have said, you must work very quickly when stamping with CG - it makes the transfer very tape-like ~like a rub-on transfer or guild paper.
I am really going to love using the CG Khrome Collection for Konading - it is so pretty. My head again, is swirling with ideas - I probably should start writing them down, lest I forget one!

The final product reminds me a little of water marbling, eh? I have seen this done with holos, but I don't have any, yet.... they should be here in a couple of days.
It was dreary and rainy here all day, so I had to use artificial lighting to get this shot...It's OK. I guess.

The Commish is taking me out to dinner so I thought this would be a nice mani for the evening....black sweater, skinny jeans, snake-skin pumps and silver jewelry.....

  10. So gorgeous! And I love that you told us about the outfit you wore with it! Pictures next time! I have often wondered how many people match their outfit to their nails or vice versa. I have to make sure that they at least don't clash even if everything doesn't match exactly.
