Sunday Stamping: Light Stamp Over Dark

Today's Sunday Stamping theme of light stamp over a dark base gave me the perfect excuse to create a manicure I've been wanting to do for a while. When I first saw this stamping pattern, I couldn't help but get the feeling of deja vu. At the time I couldn't figure out what it was all about and it wasn't until weeks later when I finally realized what it was. The trash can that stands under my desk has this exact pattern on it. Really, I mean this exact pattern. It would be a crime not to replicate it on my nails...


Are you ready for this? Here is the trash can...


And again, here is the manicure...
I started out with a pure black base using Sinful Colors Black on Black. I stamped it with my favorite silver, Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. The pattern comes from Cheeky plate CH6. It would have been perfect if I didn't hit my index finger and smudge it, but I still really love this manicure. I'll be keeping this one on the rest of the day today...




Yes, I am posing with the trash can. That is definitely a first for me :D



What was the strangest thing you have been inspired by?

Thanks for looking and commenting!

This is brilliant, I love matchy matchy and the more out-of-the-ordinary, the better! I once painted my nails a certain colour because I knew it would be the perfect match for the supermarket shopping trolleys (I even took a picture while I was doing my shopping!) :)

Tina said...

That is hilarious! Trash cans at your fingertips!

KB said...

Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad you like it!

The trash bin came first. I've had that for a while and when I saw the plate I could't figure out what it reminded me off. I finally realized what it was and had to replicate it :D
