Lacy

I did a pretty lacy mani yesterday.

I ordered four Konad stamping plates (M-26, M-57, M-60, M-64) a couple weeks ago, and finally got around to using one.  Konad plates are expensive compared to the other sets that come with 20-25 plates, but it's kind of nice to be able to pick out only the plates I'll use.  I've been watching videos on YouTube and browsing Pinterest, and these four plates kept coming up in designs I liked.  So I figured I should get them!

This mani used two coats of Sinful Colors Rich in Heart.   I stamped twice on each nail with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and the lace design on Konad plate M-57, then added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.  Revlon base coat and Seche Vite topcoat, as usual.

Rich in Heart is a pretty dark brown with a subtle red shimmer.  It's dark, and looks black from a distance and in some lights, but I like it.  The Fairy Dust lightened it up some.  I do so love Fairy Dust.  I should get another bottle in case... you know... the world ends and they stop making it....

I'm quite happy with the way this turned out.  I know I said on the last brown manicure that the stamping and the sparkles were a bit over the top, but that may just have been because the stamping was in gold.  In this mani, it works just right.
