Today I would like to show you a manicure inspired by a crystal pineapple necklace which I brought home as a souvenir from my trip to Hawaii last year. The color matched so well that I thought it would be fun to take it one step further in the matchy-matchy department...
For the manicure, I used a base of Glam Polish Love Always Finds a Way from the upcoming Forever After collection. You can see a full swatches of this beauty further down in the post. For the stamping pattern, I could have sworn that I had a full nail image with small pineapples on it, but at the end of the day, I was unable to find exactly what I wanted. Instead I ended up stamping the single pineapple image from Cheeky plate CH20 multiple times on each nail. Although it took longer, I'm actually glad I took this route since I was able to make each nail slightly different...
The silver stamping color didn't pop enough against the base, so I first stamped everything in white using Essence Stamp Me White and then using a clear stamper, I stamped over the white with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. Clear stampers have so greatly expanded the possibilities of stamped manicures and it is very exciting to not have to struggle with a workaround to double stamp!
Glam Polish Love Always Finds a Way
A bright lilac with a scattered holo shimmer and fine holographic glitter. It applies easily and provides full coverage as you see here with just two coats. I applied two layers of top coat to get a glossy look and feel because this lacquer swallowed up the first coat like a tasty little snack. It is such a gorgeous shade, I didn't want to take it off...
A closer look at the beautiful holo glitter here...

I'm surprised at how well your silver shows up! My metallics rarely show up on a darker base ):
ReplyDeleteThe silver didn't show up well enough on it's own for me either. I stamped the design using white first and then with the silver right over it... :)
DeleteThese are so fun! I'm not a huge fan of purple polish (on me for some reason, on others I love it) but Glam Polish has this magical ability to lure me in! I'm super jealous of that pendant though!!
ReplyDeleteGlam Polish has that effect on me as well. Lures me in to colors I wouldn't otherwise gravitate too... but I do love my purples, that's for sure.
DeleteYou can probably find this pendant online... I'm tempted to take another trip to Hawaii to get it in other colors. Great excuse, right? :D
Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis rocks!!!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it :)
DeleteOMG you are such a patient girl, 3-4 stamping per nail, I'm too lazy for that!! ^:^
ReplyDeleteHehe! I now have an UberChic plate that has the multiple pineapples in one image. Must have been what I was thinking of when I envisioned this :)
DeleteThese are so cute!
