Before & After: Reversed Chinoiserie

(Polish originally sent for review; affiliate links)

Hello!


I have a super fast, but very cute, before & after for you today, based on a memory I have of my grandmother... :)


I started with the gorgeous Zoya Talia from their Island Fun summer collection, a sky-blue creme:

Then, I stamped on it using Bundle Monster BM 720 from their new collage set (see my full review of this set here):





Something about this image reminded me of some china my grandmother had when I was little; it wasn't exactly like this, but it was a beautiful blue Chinoiserie pattern on a white plate. So I decided to do a reverse of that look, and stamped with Konad White:

I think this is a floral, feminine look with a twist, and it's one of the things I love about the collage-style plates; you can get a completely different look on each nail, but the size and style of the pattern is consistent across the manicure. Plates like this make it easy to make a fast, special manicure that isn't just the same pattern stamped over and over.

What do you think? Have you ever seen the kind of china I'm talking about? Whenever I see any, it makes me think of her. :)

Happy Stamping,
