Fawn Damask - Rimmel Salon Pro Oh, Mr Darcy, Konad White, Born Pretty BPL-007

Here's a manicure that I was really happy with!
 

[Nude lace]

 I wanted something a little delicate, a little bit fancy, so this is what I came up with!

[Bottle to nail: Rimmel Salon Pro Oh, Mr Darcy (2 coats)]

I started with two coats of Rimmel Salon Pro in Oh, Mr Darcy. Gotta love that name...! This was a great buy from a bargain bin. Nice glossy formula, although as you may have noticed, I've decided to mattify the finish...

...using Born Pretty Super Matte Surface Oil (??), which is a pretty good matte topcoat that I recently tried out.  I've left my middle and index finger glossy here just to show the difference in finish.

I've left my middle and index finger glossy here just to show the difference in finish. I love a good matte polish! Especially with creme polishes!

Hmm, unfortunately it seems I didn't take a photo with the stamping plate I used, but this was Born Pretty stamping plate BPL-007, which is full of lovely intricate patterns. The polish was Konad stamping polish in white. This is another example of how proper stamping polish actually makes a difference. I initially tried this in a chrome polish, but it couldn't pick out all the tiny details. Although that could possible be my lack of skill... I think I also need a bit more work on stamp placement eyyy....

Anyway! After all that stamping, I put another layer of matte topcoat over the top and that was it!
