Hello my dears! Happy Saturday!!
I hope you all spent Valentine's Day in the best possible way. I enjoyed a tête-à-tête dinner with my hubby, and it was soooo romantic (and also fun). I really think there should be a Valentine's day once per month (at least, lol).
Today is the 16th battle of this Challenge and is an inspiration battle: Texture vs. pattern. We've been seeing a lot of texture polish lately, and I'm not much of a fan for texture thingy on my nails. So I went for the most classic pattern in the world: pied-de-poule or hound's-tooth pattern.
Of course I had to introduce some twist to it, because I wasn't feeling much the classic black and white.

For this mani I used two coats of China Glaze Flying dragon, which dries matte. I left it that way because I liked the idea of the "tissue look" matte shades can bring along. I stamped over it with Maybelline Winner takes it all! using the Konad plate m63. I really got the impression my stamping skill have improved, do you think so too?
I like a lot the combo purple-gold, and I think it turned out quote fun despite being such a classic pattern.

What do you think about it? Do you like purple and gold together?
I've noticed my fellows co-challengers haven't been posting much manicures for this challenge. So I might be a bit of a lonely runner, at this point, but I'm a very proud one! so you may check my fellows blogs even if it seems nobody is doing the challenge any more, LOL!

ReplyDeleteChristine, you always write such sweet comments, you surely boost my self-esteem, haha. Yep, my hubby and I we are quite "cheesy" but not all the time! Mostly because right now we are both totally in love with our baby, lol. He's getting better by the way, thanks for asking!
