The Case of the Disappearing Stamping...

I showed you the color changing Ruby Wing Poppy lacquer on Monday and even though it was April 1st, it was no joke, Poppy really changes color from a bright raspberry red to a deep burgundy wine color. I wanted to play with the effect a bit and one of my ideas was to have disappearing or rather appearing stamping...

The base of this manicure is Essence Everybody's Talking About. I chose it because it is the closest match to the indoor color of Ruby Wing Poppy that I have. It is just a touch darker, but close enough for me. I stamped it using Poppy and Dashica plate SdP-O. If you look really closely, you might be able to see the stamping in this shot indoors...

Under direct sun it transitions from the hidden image you see above, to this...

I absolutely love the effect and idea of it. Kind of a hidden surprise for myself and great a excuse to go play in the sun. Unfortunately, in Seattle, the sun is here one moment and gone the next. The day that I created this manicure it was sunny and gorgeous, but the next day the stamping was hiding even outside...

Now you see it... Now you don't...

Essence Everybody's Talking About is a raspberry red cream with a slight jelly finish. It is one of my older polishes and was a bit on the dry and goopy side by now. I had to thin it out slightly prior to using, so I will refrain from commenting on the formula or application. I believe when I used it in the past I had no problems with it. Swatches are two coats with no top coat...
