In Colour - Rimmel New Romantic, Born Pretty Harunouta 05, Revlon Apple-tini Fizz, Revlon Desire

I finally got to try out a technique I've been super keen to test since I got into stamping.. but for some reason, never got around to doing...

[Now in technicolor!]

Yes! It's a leadlight manicure!

[Base: Rimmel New Romantic (3 coats);
Stamping: Hit the Bottle As Black As Night, Haru no Uta Plate 05]

Quick recap of my base and stamping from last week: I used Rimmel New Romantic for the pastel pink base, then stamped over with a chrysanthemum floral design (Harunouta Plate 05) in black.

[Bottle to nail: Revlon Just Tinted Desire (leadlighting)]

[Bottle to nail: Revlon Apple-tini Fizz (leadlighting)]

The two polishes I chose to colour the design in with are Revlon Desire, an absolutely juicy pink jelly polish, and Revlon Apple-tini Fizz, an apple-scented green jelly with tons of pale blue flakes.

I think it wasn't too bad for a first try! It certainly reminded me of all the potential leadlight-suitable polishes in my stash, for next time!

I definitely think a couple things coulda been better such as a smaller stamping design, and a green that doesn't lean quite as yellow as Revlon Apple-tini Fizz did here. However, I'm generally pretty pleased and am looking forward to trying out more of this technique!
