Before & After: Subtle Swirls with DazzleGlaze Persephone's Pomegranate + UberChic Beauty 5-02

Hello!


Sometimes things fail, but in a good way.


For today's manicure, I started with DazzleGlaze Lacquer's Persephone's Pomegranate, a rich cherry red polish with glowing flecks that's perfect for Christmas:

And then I decided to stamp on it using UberChic Beauty 5-02 and Sally Hansen Copperhead. Now, none of the products themselves are a fail--they're all awesome, and admittedly, I didn't fully expect Copperhead to stamp well. It certainly wasn't the bold metallic stamping polish you might want, but I was pleasantly surprised with the subtle copper effect I ended up with:

I like the soft feel of this--perfect for an occasion where you want your elegance to be a little more understated, I think.

What do you think--subtle, or fail?

Happy stamping,

  3. ..and it's one of those "only I know I have pretty nails and don't care others don't know/care about it". :D
    Such subtle manis are always a win.

  4. It reminds me of a rich brocade fabric that might have been used for a winter ball gown...once upon a time. :)
