The base color is KBShimmer Black Pearl, from their new Birthstone Collection, available today. Black Pearl was provided for review, regular swatches coming soon. All the birthstone polishes are a combination of flakies and holo. This is 2 coats of Black Pearl, which went on very smoothly. It wasn't thick or lumpy, and dried to a fairly smooth finish that needed very little top coat to be perfectly smooth. The flakies in Black Pearl give off a gold look, so I thought it would pair perfectly with Essie Good As Gold for the stamping.
Starting at the index nail, I used a fireworks design, then a clock striking midnight on my middle finger, champagne flutes on my ring finger nail, and a streamers/confetti design for my pinkie nail.
I also used a different design for my thumbs, which I just now realized I don't have any pictures of. The design I used though is sort of a fireworks burst/shooting stars type look. On Festive Plate 05, it's the design to the immediate left of the clock design. I kind of slapped it on my thumbs, not sure of which design to put on them, and I was really surprised with how much I liked it. I want to do a full nail look now with just that one image. I think it would work well as an abstract, everyday look.

ReplyDeleteHello! I would like to open cosmetology salon. Do you have an experience in this business? There are too many options in beauty salon equipment. Could you give me an advise? What companies are more reliable to buy professional face steamer machine and 5 in 1 cavitation slimming machine?
