I love a good simple manicure and I love a good vintage Wet 'n' Wild. Plus I've been trying to improve my stamping prowess...it is slow-going but I think I am getting there. Choosing colors that look good together no matter how badly you mess up doesn't hurt either.

Wet 'n' Wild Royal Blue (vintage)

Who knew that a subtle manicure would be so hard to photograph? I tried adding matte to it...but it did no good. In person this was delightfully subtle until a certain angle...and then it was all awesomeness.
Do you love subtle manicures as much as I do? Is there a favorite combo that you always seem to fall back on? Let me know below!
You win the internet today. That is plain old stunning!

DeleteLooks great! I'm not very good at stamping. I tried to stamp gold over a Tiffany blue polish -- ended up using gold stickers lol
ReplyDeleteI'm not supergreat either. I think, in my case, even the blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes!
DeleteThis is perfection! I've never thought to use a multichrome for stamping. You've just opened a whole new world for me.
ReplyDeleteapply multichromes onto all of the things.
Deletethis is gorgeous! I love subtle manis but never seem to pull them off. they always become too subtle as in cant see crap hahaha
ReplyDeletethat is generally my problem as well!
DeleteBEAUTIFUL! Makes me think of supernovas and galaxies... but subtle-ized.
