Time for a new Soak Off Mani.
3 coats of Red Carpet Manicure in Violetta Darling. Word on the street is that all the lavender soak offs, no matter which brand, fade and turn to grey...we shall see. I did not like this colour as much as I thought I would. It's a little too pink toned for me and very dusty looking.
I stamped it using plate BM212. I took Sally Hansen Salon Manicure in Night Hydrangea and swiped it diagonally across the image and then filled in the outer corners with Revlon Emerald City. I scraped straight across to blend them a bit and was pretty happy with the result. I added a coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust for an extra kick.
I'm going to be experimenting a lot more with stamping with multiple colours. I find with the gel manicures it's sooooo much easier to experiment with stuff like this because you can just wipe it away and start again if you don't like it.

Subtle stamping
This is 2 coats of Elf's Mod Mauve. The photo looks kinda brown for some reason but it's definitely a dusty purple/rose. When Elf had their Black Friday sale on last year I bought every single nail polish that wasn't pink LOL. It was insanely cheap!
I stamped it with Kleancolor Metallic Red and plate BM212. It's subtle and extremely hard to photograph but I like it. The Kleancolor metallics are so amazing for stamping and you can't go wrong at $1.75! I wish I'd tried to matte this one before I took it off because I think it would have been awesome.
I'm stumped for my next mani, I need some inspiration!

I'm a whore for holo
Above is Milani Cyberspace - 3 coats. This is the only Milani I own and it probably has the worst brush of any polish I've tried. It's extremely thin and makes it impossible to get even coverage in less than 3 coats.
Random crap: Girly shit sucks. My younger sister loved kittens and unicorns and rainbows and pink shit. I fuckin hated it and I made fun of her for it when we were kids. She also loved NKOTB but we won't go there right now. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the Duchess of Doo because I fucking love rainbows! I could wear holo nail polish every day for the rest of my life! Kittens, unicorns and pink still suck ass though.
So I ruined the awesome rainbow with Kleancolor Metallic Aqua and plate BM212. I also had some stamping issues here, but not from the polish.
I'm in a weird mood today. Having a bad day but posting about nail polish makes me happy. I may even go home and slap some more holo polish on ;)
