extreme floral

what goes great with extreme gold shimmer? even more gold!

base color: 2 coats l.a. girls color addict extreme
gold stamping: maybelline color show metallic bold gold
image plate: mash plate 40

this wasn't at all how i intended for this mani to turn out. . . . i meant to just stamping the swirly floral image once on each nail, but the one on my index finger came out so off-center that i had to stamp again. after that, there was no turning back and i kiiiinda went nuts with the double and triple stamping :P. but i really like how it turned out!


how is it that i've never used this beautiful flower image before?? (click here to see what it looks like on its own.) i've been so intent on buying new stamping plates these days that maybe i've overlooked some awesome unused ones. anyone want to recommend another mash plate that's a must try?

    1. Thanks, Steph! And thanks for following :).

      You should definitely try it sometime. It's a little tricky to get the hang of at first (my first attempts SUCKED), but it gets better and more fun with time :P.
