Glitterama swirls, edit**added 2 pics & details










 Early morning sun does not capture the sparkle of this mani. First picture is the best of the bunch. Click it to make it gigantic!
Hopefully, I can snatch a few minutes at work today to get some afternoon pics.
Anyway, this mani is for a holiday dinner I am attending with Jim on Monday.
I *really* hope it lasts through the weekend without too much damage or tipwear!

Details;
Base- China Glaze Millennium 1 coat
Overlay- Funky Fingers Wonderland- 3 coats
1 coat Seche
Konad plate- M63- the ever popular swirl pattern
Konad Special Polish Wine Red to stamp.
I *Love* how cool this mani turned out! It doesn't look like a stamped or decaled nail. It looks like a patterned foil. Konad Wine Red is a Jelly, so the base sparkle shows as flashy as the silver!
1 coat Seche

*edit...Sorry guys. In my zeal to get something up before I left for work, I forgot some details.
I double stamped the swirl image twice on my nails and then some. I still had 1/4" to fill at the tips of thumb, index, middle and ring. I also stamped the image horizontal on those nails as well...with the exception of my thumbs(not pictured). Those I stamped four times. They are so horrendously w i d e,  a horizontal stamp couldn't fill the space. My pinky is the only nail to which I could use the stamp longways also double stamped.

The Funky Fingers trio, Wonderland, Under Mistletoe and Yule Love It, were purchased for 3 @ $5.00 at my Five Below Store. The dry time was lightening fast! 
I'd bet a year's salary that these Funky Fingers are one and the same Color Club Wonderland set. The names are even the identical.

Great colors - the foil look is awesome!  Did you use the stamp twice on each nail?  I love the way it made the pattern look!
