Wild and Willing - mani refresh

Hello Ladies,

Today I have a mani refresh to my layering experiment I did with Sally Hansen, Sequin Scandal and Color Club, Wild and Willing. When I added wild and willing I didn't expect for it to show too much and be as dramatic as it looked. Sure it looked pretty cool, almost like Orly, Space Cadet, but if that's what I was going for I would have just put that on instead.

At the time it was a little too much for me, so I looked through my Konad and BM plates to see if I could find a full nail stamp to give my mani a little something special.

please enlarge all images!!

I chose BM plate 19 and double stamped sideways so I could cover the full width of some of my larger nails. There is a bit of overlap in the stamping, but I like it :)


I love the look overall, stamping black over an already dark colour gives a more subtle, softer look I think.


Here it is in the sun so you can see the pattern a little better, very hard to capture under regular lamp light!


And here it is with the standard flash.

What do you ladies think? I was very happy with this one and removed it after a full week of wear! It wore amazing by the way!

  3. So awesome! I just love that pattern and the contrast against the sparkle really works. Wish I'd been around more the past few weeks. It's FREAKING DECEMBER tomorrow! Ahem...where'd November go?

  7. shortwide nails - thanks! I still don't have it mastered, but a little bit more practice should help :) The camera I am currently using a Pentax DSLR for my photos. The odd time I will use my panisonic point and shoot but the pictures come out crispter withthe SLR.
