Seven Deadly Sins Series - Wrath: Halo Hues + BM204 and SE19 = Holo Rainbow Seahorses


... Could I have made that title any longer?? ^.^

Anyway. For the first Wrath theme, the prompt was "get mad trying, again, that technique you know is going to be a fail".

Well... What is something I am terrible at? Stamping. Definitely.



Have I made my point yet? Can we move on now?

Well... I've been dying to some stamping with a holo, so that's what I went with!

These actually didn't turn out bad at all, though! I would call this my first real success at stamping!! Wanna see?!

I started off with a two-coat base of Claire's  Breakfast at Tiffany's, then stamped a full-nail image with Bundle Monster plate BM204 and Blue Heaven from the 2012 Color Club Halo Hues set. Then I went back in with Salon Express plate SE19 and stamped the seahorse image in different colors from the 2013 Halo Hues collection.

I used Beyond on my pinky, Miss Bliss on my ring finger, Eternal Beauty on my middle nail and thumb, and Cosmic Fate on my index nail.

The sun didn't want to come out and play to show off the holo goodness. Every time it came out, as soon as I turned my camera on, it's like it knew, because it would hide again.

I was able to get some semi-okay shots, though.




How cute are these!? I absolutely love how they turned out!

And, last but not least, a quick swatch of Breakfast at Tiffany's on it's own:


This is two coats with no topcoat. It is a little thick, and could have used a third coat for full opacity, but a little thinner should fix it just fine! It is another one of those beautiful For Audrey/Tiffany Impostor/Aquadelic Robin's Egg Blue sort of colors that I love so much!

Here's what everyone else did for this challenge:
