Before & After: Nail Hoot Summer's Demise + UberChic Beauty Succulents (or, Desert Cactus Delight)

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!

So I recently got to swatch the lovely Nail Hoot Summer's Demise, a sienna-copper-peach multichrome with flashes of glitter that makes me happy inside and out:

This polish has a soft peacefulness to it that I just love (this is two coats, formula was gorgeous), and the warm glow to it reminds me of sunsets in the desert--and the desert makes me instantly thing of cacti, so I knew I had to use it as the base for a manicure with UberChic Beauty's new Succulents mini plate.


First I used an image from UberChic Beauty plate  6-03 to add a little texture; I stamped this using Hit The Bottle Polish Everyday I'm Truffling. Then I picked a couple of complementary images from the Succulents plate to make into decals; I used Sally Hansen Poison Ivy and No S-pear Time to color in the cacti.

I love, love, love how that polish just glows out from under the cacti and lights everything up! Just gorgeous.

You can find UberChic Beauty's plates here, and Nail Hoot's shop here; they're currently on hiatus but will be back soon.

Happy stamping!
