Soft Green Garden

Hello, 

Today I have something that I had for Memorial Day. I know, it's not the typical thing to wear for that weekend but I love Zoya's Neeley and was in the mood to wear it. 

I wanted to try my hand at stamping and decided it would be fun to do it at my daughter's house. She could cheer me on. The results are passable. First thing, if you notice, my designs are going in ever which direction. But I always say, "one time it's a mistake, two times it is artistic accident, three times and it's a design feature. " 

I've seen on other blogs where people have used just plain polishes to stamp with. But, as a beginner, I wanted to start out with something dedicated to stamping. And I didn't have any problems with the polish itself, just the experience of the person stamping. 

White Konad stamping polish, Zoya's Neely, OPI's Alpine Snow, and Konad stamping plate M72

My daughter even tried her hand at stamping. These are the three Julep polishes that I featured last week. she saw them on my blog and decided I needed to bring them with me. I love her skittled effect. 

We like stamping. It is great for those who don't feel confortable using a paint brush. The non dominate hand is less of an issue with stamping. Michelle (my daughter) has already ordered herself stamping plate. 

Zoya is cruelty free. OPI is not cruelty free. Konad stamping polish is unknown to me.

That's it this time. So until next time and I hope today brings you a beautifully polished life.......Terri

Two Moon Mani

Today I am showing Rainbow Honey's mare of the moon. This has to be on of my favorite RH colors. It is a stand alone (two coater) satin polish that is a beautifully hued blue violet with just the right amount of glitter.

This polish also gave me a chance to play with a theme. The half moon shaped glitter led to the idea of the half moon technique. These moons are in two layers. Layer one is a silver (Chi's Sexy In Stilettos) and the overlaid in silver glitter (Pure Ice's Beeware). 

There was nothing wrong with the satin finish, but for this design, I wanted shiny. I finished it off with a top coat of Julep's Freedom Top Coat. This polymer top coat is becoming one of my favorites. 

If you are not familiar with Rainbow Honey, check them out. A Brooklyn based company, they are now distributed in Europe, Philippines, and Singapore. Here's a quick link.

Beware, Sexy In Stilettos, mare of the moon

Does anyone else have Rainbow Honey? What colors do you have? 

Rainbow Honey and Chi are cruelty free. Pure Ice is not cruelty free.
Have a nice and polished day.
