This matched a gray, black, and cream striped cardigan I was wearing that weekend. Freehand striping with the regular polish brush and a narrow striping brush for the white strip.


Base is China Glaze Thistle
Grey is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Gone Grey
Black is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out
White is Charlotte Russe 2-way striper brush and pen (love this)

 

Konad Plate m63

Zoya Isabel base and stamped with Konad plate m63.

Orly Midnite Owl

I LOVE LOVE my new Orly Midnite Owl polish. It's like a taupe with fine shimmers in it.  Gorgeous.
 I added a Konad flower from the m36 plate.  They are at opposite angles on each hand since I don't have the mirror version plate of the design.

Orly Midnite Owl base and Konad white

After a couple of days, I got bored and added the Orly matte top coat. This color looks really good in matte. It makes it look like suede.  But I did notice that the matte top coat turned the white stamp into a grey tone a bit. You can see a lot on my first finger which I did the day before. It also loses a bit of its matteness as you see more of a sheen on the pointer finger.

Konad lace and dotting tool dots. I accidentally used the Konad white blending polish instead of the Konad white STAMPING polish, so my white lace is not showing. I'll try again with the correct polish.

Valentine Red and Gold

 For V-Day week.  Used Orly gold to do the stamp.

After a day, got bored and added some hearts and stripes with the a nail art brush.

Gradient V-Day

Attempted a gradient. I really didn't like this heart pattern. It's Mash-39 plate.  It just looks kinda messy to me. Can't really tell they are hearts.

I ended up going over it in the pink. It helped tone down the annoying messy hearts.
