Nail Art: Holiday


I started by painting my nails ELF Yellow, then sponged on ELF Party Peach and ELF Black to get the gradient, I did a tutorial on how to do this here if you are interested. Then I went on to stamp the designs using W7 Black and the following stamping plates; Bundle Monster BM315 and BM310, B22 and M71.

Swatch: Kleancolor - Metallic Pink (158)

Originally bought this polish for stamping with, which is does work perfectly for.

Finish: Metallic
Opacity: One coater
How Much? 15ml

Something I did notice about this polish is it changes colour when you apply a clear top coat, similar to the Barry M Chameleon polishes and the China Glaze Tranzitions.
