I Inspired Myself

Since I featured a Del Sol polish on the last From the Vault, I'd decided to do my St. Patrick's Day nails with another Del Sol, and so I figure I might as well show yet another one that I have, as well. ^.^ This one is two coats of Rockstar.

Regular

From Cluster of Clovers to Being Green with Envy - A Doubled Mani Holiday

I did two different St. Patrick's Day manis. I didn't really like the first, so I redid them.

For the first, my base color is Del Sol First Kiss, then I sprinkled on some loose gold glitter and stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM03. The darker green is Sinful Colors Envy and the lighter is Sally Hansen Grass Slipper. I'm not very impressed with how Envy stamped, though. I wish it would have been more opaque. Oh well. Now I know better for next time.

You Hinder my Mood

Apparently Claire's Mood polish + topcoat = a no-no.

I was able to get one shot of the color difference, though, before I went dot crazy on top and added some China Glaze Fast Forward.

I call this a fail for two reasons: a) Polish that changes from blue to lighter blue or pink to pale pink? Really? If the change was more drastic like the sticker shows, then that's better. Otherwise, lame! And b) Damn you, topcoat! I've never seen a color-changing polish before that no longer works with topcoat over it! -.- Also lame. 

Plus I haven't seen one that dries so matte like these do, but I am okay with that, for the most part.

Alas, I actually kinda like my circus of dots creation in the end. The blue one is Flirty/Shy and the pink is Excited/Bored. The dots are just done in the opposite "mood" polish. The two nails on the left are what they normally look like and the two on the right are what they change to.

From the Vault - Del Sol

For this look, I had started with a base of Crayola's scented polish in orange. Then added a few coats of one of the Del Sol polishes (but now I am not sure which one it was) and some flower stickers.

At the time, my husband had one of those really bright construction lights or whatever they are set up in one of the rooms we were remodeling, so I was playing and taking pictures in front of it. Then I really liked how it made the polishes look layered together.
