Choi's nails

This manicure is close to half of a fail but I wouldn't think the overall look isn't good to make it on the blog. The original idea was a pastel gradient base with some nail stamping but the base colours are hardly showing in both person and photos. Regardless the finished look does remind me of a chalkboard, maybe because of the faded black polish.

In this post I'm going to show you one of my many China Glaze polishes that I've had for a good while. China Glaze's Midtown Magic came out in 2011 and until this days the colour and formula is still in good condition. 

This is one of those not so boring dark colours. A very dark almost black base filled with a mix of bronze/orangey and green shimmers. I love these sort of dark colours with a kick to it. Spices everything up.

For my accent nail I wanted to add a stamping image, always the easiest way to add some fun onto your nails. Gold seemed like a good idea so I used the image of playing card suits from the Bundle Monster pates and stamped over the whole nail. I do wonder if that was too much gold though.

I've got here an ombre nail vinyl design to show in this post. Many times I've attempted to create designs with the nail vinyls I had but the majority didn't come out quite right. This one? Just about makes the cut and on top of that, hello holo glitter base!
