Monday Blues Before & After: English Would Leaf

Hello!

Ah, it's been a while since I did a Monday Blues, and I miss it! But today I'm going to go about it a little differently...The blue will be everything but my base polish.

So to start, I have a soft, feminine pretty for you today, LynBDesign's England Will Fall, a dusty rose holographic:

I wanted to try something a little bit different, a little bit bolder than I usually go. So I sponged a gentle gradient on the tips with Absolutely Absolem, and then stamped over the whole thing with Sally Hansen Co-Bolt Blue, using Cheeky Jumbo plate 2:



The bold and the beautiful




I don't normally go for contrasts like this, but I think the gradient under the stamping really takes away the super bold edge and makes it a little more polished. And, I love that the holo rainbow still shows under the stamping. :)

What do you think? What are your favorite bold color combinations?

Hugs and loves,
M.
