Before & After: Dwimorberg Hydrangea

Hello!

This month's theme in the Nail Challenge Collaborative is 'skittle', and I've been having a blast with them--I've been in a skittle mood for a while now and this gave me an excuse. I'll have a few more for you even though this is my last official challenge skittle. :)

For my base on this one, I used a recent acquisition from The Lady Varnishes: Dwimorberg. Kirsten has a gorgeous line of duochrome mattes, and this is one of them; predominantly a sage green, it also flashes medium blue and dusty lavender:

Then I went to town and created my skittle. The inspiration I drew from was one of the Nayll glitter toppers I recently created, which I named Hydrangea; it has lavender, sea green, and dusty blue matte glitters, so I decided to pull those colors:

Here's what I did:

Index: Stamped with Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac (Pueen 38)
Middle: saran-wrap background of Sally Hansen Going Grape; stamped with Sally Hansen Blue Away (Pueen 29)
Ring: added a coat of Nayll Hydrangea (my creation)
Pinkie: Stamped with Zoya Envy (Pueen 38)

So what do you think?

Hope you're having a great weekend!
