Hi everyone! Today I have two gorgeous things to show you: a lovely polish from Pahlish's Wood Between the Worlds collection and a gorgeous floral stamping plate from Born Pretty Store!
Let's start off with Pahlish Nine Names. This polish was one that I debated on getting for ages because it is out of my comfort zone and I just wasn't sure what it would look like on me. I was pleasantly surprised that the peachy orange creme looked really nice with my skintone. I just love this polish! It has gorgeous contrasting red and gold flake shimmer too. Formula was perfectly smooth and opaque in 2 coats.
Next I did some stamping with a plate from Born Pretty Store (item QA82) that has an assortment of lovely floral designs, including full nail images and smaller images for accents. The full-nail images are plenty large enough to cover the average nail entirely (unless, of course, you have really long nails). I thought that the images were well etched into the plates and that they stamped really crisply. For this mani, I chose the top middle design, which I thought looked reminiscent of a henna design that you might see on someone's hands/arms.
I used Mundo de Unas Orange stamping polish for my design. You can see that the image stamped really crisply and clearly.
Finally, I used a dotting tool and a red creme (Zoya Sooki) to go in and add some additional detailing to my finished design. I thought this turned out so cool! Like some sort of fancy stoneware or something.
Pahlish is available from Pahlish's Big Cartel Shop. Be sure to follow Pahlish on Facebook and on their blog for details about restocks (they are Fridays at 7 pm CST) and new polishes. Pahlish is also available from Llarowe, Overall Beauty, Rainbow Connection, and Edgy Polish. Thanks for looking everyone!
Mundo de Unas stamping polishes can be purchased on their website. They sell them in full sized bottles and mini bottles. They have a nice assortment of stamping plates and other nail art items as well, so be sure to check those out.
Thanks for looking everyone!
Aaah! My comment disappeared! I need to do another :-) I love this and that Pahlish! Don't you just love it when we second guess a polish and we end up taking the plunge and getting it and it's awesome?! I looked at that plate when I was choosing my samples and almost got it!!! I love the images on it and loved what you came up with!! I need to pick up some Mundo de Unas polishes asap. I keep saying I will but never get around to it!
