Basket Case - Hit The Bottle I'm Pinking of Blue; Born Pretty BPL-004

Here's a quick update on the manicure I posted last week, featuring my attempts at stamping.. still trying to work it out!

Because it was a somewhat off-the-cuff try, I may not have considered my colour choices all too seriously..

[Base: Sally Hansen Spark (2 coats); Flakie: Polish Me Silly Fun House (1 coat; mattified)]

Brief refresher on what we started out with - this is a coat of Polish Me Silly Fun House, over two coats of Sally Hansen Spark, topped off with a matte topcoat.

I decided to use this fancy shade of stamping polish from Hit The Bottle - I'm Pinking of Blue. How cute is that name! Basically this is a shimmer shade that stamps pink over white, with a blue sheen that comes to the fore when stamped over dark shades.

When you combine the pink and blue together, you sort of get an overall purple shade, so it's quite an interesting chameleon of a colour.

Here, I used plate Born Pretty plate BPL-004 with the lattice pattern. I've actually used this before (and quite terribly, at that!) in a previous manicure, so here's your chance to see how it should actually look (sorta..). =)
