Today I'm showing a nail art that I'm really happy with, like enormously. I've been practicing stamping for a while and it helps to practice, I believe that I've learned a lot, so you guys who haven't tried or who are struggeling, keep trying! This might not be perfect but I'm getting there. :)

First of, I used Lakobotan's franken polish - Party Starfish which I showed HERE as a base and then stamped this floral pattern from the Born Pretty Store image plate BP-73. As a final embellishment I added a golden rhinestone bow which I've bought from ebay.






And in natural light where the shine shows:








Polishes and materials used:
MoYou's special black nail polish
Lakobotan Franken Polish - Party Starfish, swatch
Born Pretty Store image plate - BP-73

About the BP-73 with itemID: 20790:

The cost is $2.99 and it has well etched pattern which is easy to pick up with the stamper. (I have two stampers, both has silicone, and come in two different hardness and size).
This particular image plate has 4 small rose floral objects (matching the full size ones, giving opportunities for accent type nail art's) and four full nail patterns with a rose floral theme. Two of the full nail patterns are shorter than the other two (which annoys me a bit, I'd prefer if all four of them where of the longer size for my thumbs (which I have to double stamp when they get to my preferred length, which works but I'd prefer not to). But I guess for most people that wont be a problem, the shortest are 15 MM x 19 MM and the longest are 15 MM x 22 MM.

As usual feel free to use my 10% discount code NGL91 for items which aren't on discount already at the Born Pretty Store site.

Here again I have a rare piece of polish, a franken which only have 2 bottles in the whole wide world, and I got one of them. ;) Lakobotan named it Party Starfish and it is a middle tone to dark high saturated pink, almost berry like with linear holo and also loads of prismatic glitter. The prismatic
glitter often glitter in a reddish tone together with the rainbow spectra, probably when it's half covered in pink polish.

This was 2 coats and easy application but with a gritty result without topcoat (this is very glitter packed!), but with a couple of coats topcoat this looks really nice! I'm really happy with this polish! Thanks Lakobotan. ;) And now a photo spam..

With flash.

This polish has many faces depending on the light, from top to bottom, natural light, with flash and with direct sun light.

Also I have a nail art with this which I barely can't wait to show and also please check out my swatch of the blue Little Mermaid, also from Lakobotan, if you haven't already.

Hi, today I have a special post, I've got the honor to try some of Lakobotan's franken polish, the first one out is the one she calls Little Mermaid. ^^

Little Mermaid has a jeans blue colored quite linear holo base and then a perfect mix of tiny holo glitter. The combo is really nice, in sunshine it sparkles insanely and in softer light the holo glitter appears like a night sky over the blue which then looks like shimmer.  Formula and application wise it was great too, almost a one coater but I added 2 coats in the end which went on like butter. I really liked this and I also got compliments while wearing it. Photo spam to come, my camera couldn't almost handle all the sparkles!








And below are some photos in natural light. The base appears more shimmery than holo and the holo glitter really sparkles.

Just look at the bottle, it reminds me of fish scales which also makes the name of it so suiting!




Thanks @lakobotan ! :)
