Purple and Gold Vortex Nail Art - WIDW

Hey y'all!

It's hump day again, and that of course means it's time for What I Did (with it) Wednesday!  This week I created nail art from a swatch of Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Witches Get Stitches.  I decided the plummy purple needed a bit of gold and some stamping, so I turned to my semi-recently-acquired chrome finish polishes for help to create this look.

So to create this look from my swatch, I removed Witches Get Stitches from my index and middle fingers, and instead applied a coat of Models Own Chrome Gold to those nails.

As I flipped through my stamping plates, I decided on this vortex-y image from the MoYou London Pro Collection 11 plate, and stamped that over the gold with Sally Hansen Chrome Orchid Sapphire because the tone so closely matched the plummy shade of Witches Get Stitches.

To finish, I added single gold studs to the three remaining nails to tie everything together.  Luckily my macro-fu was a bit better with this look, so here's the macro that was missing from Saturday's swatch.

In this shot you can seriously tell that I didn't do a great job of stamping this image - all of those little circles are supposed to be filled and it looks like I scraped way too hard because every single one of them is blank inside.  The only saving grace is that because all of them are like that, you can't really tell that they weren't supposed to be hollow.

Are you enjoying this series so far?  Let me know what you think down in the comments.

Hope you're all having a great week, and I'll see ya Friday!
