For the manicure I started out with Ulta's Femme Fatale and stamped with Essence's Enchanted Fairy, a sweet lilac shimmer. I think it stands out quite nicely against the dark background. For the stamp I used Red Angel plate RA-102. I'm still experimenting with these stamps, but I think I'm getting the hang of them.
On it's own, Femme Fatale is a dark burgundy maroon color with a reddish coppery shimmer. It applied well with full coverage in two coats. No pulling or bald spots and wrapped around the tips nicely. It may not be the most original color, but I do love a good dark polish :)

I have Enchanted Fairy too but never thought about using it for stamping. Not that I stamp that often, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Wow! The nail color and the stamp color are perfect for each other. Great job. I also love the stamp image.

I agree: I like the mix of the pinks together, very pre-Valentines :)

@Monic Sutter, I did two coats of this one to get the full, even coverage. I don't think there is any special trick that I'm using. What does yours end up looking like?
