Stripes and Stones

Today I have a mani refresh I created using OPI's Skull and Gloss Bones as a base and Zoya's Dovima for stamping. I wanted something simple yet interesting. What I ended up deciding on was the diagonal stripy pattern from Bundle Monster plate BM-20, this is from the original set. I love this pattern but my nail beds are slightly too wide and tall to fit the full pattern, so I improvised :)

I stamped my nails either closer to the base or tip of the nail and then removed a few lines from the top, bottom or both. The end result is a different design on each nail.

I think it's quite simple but has that little something special. My thumb nails were way too big for the stripes so I decided to stamp them with a dotty pattern from Bundle Monster plate BM-211 (not shown).

I like this monochrome mani, since Dovima is not a stark creme black it does not look so plain. Dovima is actually a matte which you can tell from the bottle. It has this tiny bit of shimmer that ads some depth to the over all mani.

Have you ever altered Konad/fauxnad designs to create another design or pattern?
