Sally Hansen Arabian Night ~click to make bigger




































Next pic (out of focus) showing how multi-faceted the gold shimmer really is...pinks, greens, & blues in there!







































I *Love* Arabian Night! My only dilemma is what color do I use to stamp my Fauxnad? Like my CG Strawberry Field mani a few weeks ago, the shimmer floats on top of the color, making the stamp color  very hard to see. I am thinking that white is the best option. I'm taking suggestions if anyone has one, as I'm not too fond of stamping with white!

Fauxnad crackle nails





My originial idea for these crackle stamped nails was green cat eye rub ons. I had 2 nails looking cool, when the rub-ons failed to apply properly...probably due to some excess oils on my nails and the dexterity issues I have when it gets cold outside. As careful as I was in taking them off, I tore up the polish on both thumbs. Not wanting to waste a decent fauxnadacure, I covered them with the largest rub-ons I had- Cute ghosts. Not my cuppa-tea, really, but it worked in covering the mess. I also had trouble applying the ghosts, and had to touch up places with an angle brush and black polish. Next time I do rub-ons, I'll get help from dh or my daughter, Amber.

Anyway I really love this crackle image! Here's what I used;
Base- Color Club, Where's The Soiree?
Overlay- Sally Hansen, Black Diamond
Fauxnad plate H22
Stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, Lickety-Split Lime
Ghost rub-ons have a layer of Nina Ultra Pro, Molten Opal
2 coats Seche
