Stained Glass Nail Art

*Some Press Samples Used*

Hi everyone! Today I have my first attempt at doing colored jellies over a holo base. I've wanted to do this after seeing these fabulous manis from my pals Emily from Very Emily and Valesha from Peachy Polish (I miss seeing both of their posts so much!).  I don't think mine was quite as amazing as theirs, but it's an OK first attempt. Basically, you achieve this look by applying a silver glitter base and then randomly blobbing colored jelly polishes on top to create a sort of "stained glass" look. Then you finish off with some intricate black stamping. It was easy to do...just give it a try! The most difficult part is waiting for the layers to dry before stamping! I was glad to finish off the design using a collaboration plate from yet another one of my Paint All the Nails! buddies, Lucie from Lucy's Stash!

Polishes Used:

KBShimmer Alloy Matey (Silver Glitter Base)
OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? (Orange)
OPI Too Hot Pink to Hold 'Em (Pink)
OPI Houston, We Have a Purple (Purple)
OPI Landscape Artist (Green)
OPI Primarily Yellow (Yellow)
Misa Pour Me Something Tall and Strong (Blue)
Rica Blackout (Black Stamping Polish)
BM-XL 209 Collaboration Plate Bundle Monster + Lucy's Stash (Stamping Plate)

KBShimmer Holo Can You Go is a blurple linear holo filled with ultra chrome flakes that flash purple, pink, green, blue, and aqua.
