Gold Stamping on gold and black half moons

I chose the classic black and gold colour combination for my manicure today.

I started off by painting my nails with Barry M Gold Foil. Once this was dry, I used paper hole reinforcers to mark out the half moons near the cuticles and painted the rest of the nails with Barry M Black. I removed the reinforcers while the black polish was still wet. When the black polish was dry, I stamped with the gold foil and the image plate Pueen 47.

Do you think the stamping looks a little bit like a peacock's tail feathers when its dancing? Maybe its just my overactive imagination! But maybe I ought to try this image with a blue-green base!

31DC2013: Day Twenty-Two - Inspired by a Song

The days are getting shorter and colder - its almost autumn. That and this lovely song by Ed Sheeran inspired this manicure - Autumn Leaves - it just seemed so appropriate for this time of the year!

I used NYC Pure Air as the base. Then I sponged on some 2True Shade 9, a glittery bronze, on the tips. I stamped one nail with the music notes and bird image from  the plate Pueen47. The stamping is with Essie Penny Talk and Konad Black. The stars stamping is from the image plate QA15. I free handed the different coloured leaves with a fine nail art brush, using Rimmel Camouflage, Konad Yellow and Essie Penny Talk. I definitely need to improve on my free hand leaves but its a start ...!

This manicure is inspired by the colour Pink! I love the combination of the glittery pink with black.
For these nails, I used a special edition Barry M glittery pink, BLE2012 - . Its stamped with Konad Black and Pueen 47. On the accent finger I used Revlon Black Star and added two pink rhinestones from MoYou London.
