Before & After: Holo Grapes with Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer + Messy Mansion MM75

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!

How ya doin'? My week has been very productive, I'm almost finished making all the changes to my manuscript that my beta readers suggested, and I got to review some new plates (videos are up on YouTube and I'll be doing full posts very soon). What more can you ask for?


I've been in a holo mood lately, and had to do some nail art with this awesome polish that my friend Dina from Secretary's Nail Art let me swatch, Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer Beach Bunny, a dusty lavender linear holo:

This is two coats with excellent application and formula.


Then I stamped using Messy Mansion plate MM75 (I have a video review that includes this and two other grape-y plates that you can view here) and Messy Mansion Carbon stamping polish.






For my finishing touches, I couldn't resist putting some rhinestones on to highlight the grapes:

 I love that this gives plenty of space for the gorgeous holo to shine through, but still has a full, interesting design. And I love the little pop of dimenstion that the rhinestones give. What do you think?

Hope you're having a great weekend!
