Irene is amazing, I love this one so much, the base is a murky brown toned green and the shimmer is a duo chrome green/yellow, great formula no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I have this whole collection, they're all gorgeous.

Weekend Mani

Hey Friends

I'm sharing my weekend mani as an extra post today.

I started with a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Once Upon a Time which is a blue (cold) to pink (hot) thermal.

I then stamped the tree branches using Virago Varnish Hot Cocoa, the flowers are a mix of Cosmic Candy and Prototype 3 both Fancy Gloss. On my thumbs I used Cosmic Candy and on my index and little fingers it was Prototype 3. The plates used were Kads Nature 17 and Whats Up Nails B017.

Prototype 3 is very reactive to temperature changes while Cosmic Candy is slower and needs a higher temperature.
