Before & After: Parisian sunset with Nail Hoot Summer's Demise + UberChic Beauty Paris In Love

(Press sample ahead!)

Hello!

A while back I reviewed some mini plates from UberChic Beauty, including Paris In Love:

I'm back today to show you a manicure using the plate!

I started with Nail Hoot Summer's Demise, a gorgeous multichrome that shifts from sienna to orange to copper:

Then I stamped a collage of images from the plate:

I stamped with Sally Hansen Sand Storm, and Messy Mansion Soft Gold and Carbon:

This makes me think of sitting in a Parisian cafe at sunset, after a long day of visiting palaces and churches and museums, sipping a cup of cafe au lait and watching the the beautiful people walk by. Sigh...where's my plane ticket?!

Happy Stamping,
M.

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.

Here's how it came out:

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!
