My polish, your plate - 8

Hi everyone!


It's the eighth time Michelle and I challenge each other to do a manicure with a polish one of us chose and a plate chosen by the other. This time I picked ILNP Paige and Michelle settled on the flower image from Pueen plate 112. I'm not sure if my nails are 100% compliant with the rule that the chosen polish should be a prominent part of the manicure but there is no way I could have used that polish and that image in any other way. Here is what I did:

I started by painting my thumb, index and pinky with three coats of ILNP Paige, the most holo-y bright pink holo I have ever seen. I knew it was pretty but I couldn't remember it being this gorgeous 😍

The other two nails were done in two thin coats of LCLvernis Mahalo, a beautiful sand colored polish with tiny copper flecks.

While that was drying I picked up the flower image from Pueen 112 using black Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I colored in the flowers with Paige, the leaves with green Masura Peace in Love and the cattail with brown Colors by Llarowe Mocha Grande. I left that to dry for a bit while I repeated the process on a second stamper.

I finished by painting a coat of base coat on my nails and placing the reverse stamps where I wanted them. I removed the excess parts with a brush and some acetone and sealed everything with a generous coat of Seche Vite. And voila, sparkly pink flowers on my nails 😊


The line up:

I love this, plain and simple. Paige was actually the second choice as Michelle didn't have the first polish I picked or a good enough dupe... and am I glad she didn't as this polish and her image were made for each other as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder what her version looks like. I'm pretty sure she has pink flowers too but apart from that? Not a clue... so let's click here and check it out.
