~Edited~ I had such a difficult time photographing this mani! I had to sacrifice unflattering angles of my nails for crisper shots of the art :( So many pictures to go through, and not a single one captured what this fauxnad/Konad art looks like on this jelly!
Irl, the intensity of Rad Purple and the strength of the jelly glow subdued the stamped images. Using a dual polish application on the butterflies and flowers complimented and mimicked the jelly glow.
On any given day at work, I have dozens of people wanting to get a better look at my nails. Tonight, there were exactly three people that noticed I had art on them. The rest just noticed the color.
At any rate, even I- queen of glammed-up flamboyant, would have stopped at less, full-colored art on every nail if Rad Purple could not carry it all!
~Edit~
4 coats Milani, Rad Purple
Layer of Pure Ice, Heart Breaker that I jazzed up with a few drops of NYC, Love Letters
Fauxnad H20, middle image, partially stamped on (your) right sidewall
H20 stamped with Color Club, Emerald Depths
Butterfly images from fauxnad plates H16, P7, and an unmarked (Chez Delaney) plate (has foot & paw print)
Butterfly images from Konad M20, M40 & M66
All butterflies stamped with Sally Hansen Chromes- Carnelian & Ruby Chrome
Fauxnad flowers from plate P21
Stamped with Sally Hansen, Royal Purple Chrome & what used to be China Glaze 2030...I added a lot of Pure Ice Crimson to knock down some of the reflective properties and to warm it up more.

Thank you Megan T!
Spring can't come soon enough for me either!
Hmmmm...perhaps all my manis should be anti-winter themed until spring gets here. :)
Thank you Thess!
It looks so much better irl.
Thanks sweetie!
I think I may be jumping on the lightbox bandwagon after these pictures. If for anything else, to get rid of that distorting reflection.
Thanks Andrea!
