<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Back to nails... I've been really liking Red Carpet Manicure LED gel polish lately! It has been lasting me a few weeks at a time :) I will do a full review of it sometime! For this mani I put regular polish glitter in between my gel color polish and gel top coat... and I wasn't sure if it would stay on but it's been fine so far (6 days now). It looks like it could last 2-3 weeks at this rate although I don't know if I want to leave it on that far past Christmas! But this might be a better way to wear my glitters since it's not chipping off and I need to scrape the gel polish off anyway... might as well scrape the glitter off with it lol</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Sorry I've been so bad at blogging lately... I had a bunch of weddings to go to weekends in a row and people visiting... I will try to catch up on comments and get back to blogging :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "Inspired by Your Job" which I didn't really know what to do with... I work in banking and was a bit stuck on ideas other than dollar signs which I don't have a stamp or the freehand skills for haha. So I figured I would post last week's "Chevron" theme nails instead since I missed that one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I started with </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b>Essie Mojito Madness </b>as my base, and then did a smoosh marble with </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b>China Glaze Four Leaf Clover</b> and </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b>Color Club Screen Green </b></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi everyone! I can't seem to get a post up in time these days! Oh well better late than never? Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "Inspired by a Book" and to be honest I haven't read a book in ages. So I tried to recreate <a href="http://www.rebeccalikesnails.com/2012/09/31dc2012-day-24.html">Rebecca Likes Nails' Inspired by a Book mani</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Base is 2 coats of <b>Nars Purple Rain</b> + <b>OPI Black Onyx</b> for the saran wrap technique. My middle finger nail is still flaking so I used one coat of <b>OPI Can't Let Go</b> under Purple Rain. I think it actually looks quite interesting layered like this... I should have taken a picture before I did the saran wrap!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Unfortunately I didn't really have many purples with reddish shimmer and the one I ended up going with was a bit too dark to see the saran wrap design but oh well :(</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! A bit late with this week's Twinsie Tuesday post... I really struggled with this week's prompt! The prompt is "One Stroke Flowers" and I tried for 3 nights straight (why </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">my base has a bit of tip wear)</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> and I really couldn't get the hang of flowers :( I had trouble getting the paint to even stick onto the nail. YouTube nail artists make it look so easy! I really should have started working on this mani earlier but I didn't expect it to be so challenging! I eventually managed to make some squiggly chevrons instead of flowers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Base is 2 coats of <b>Color Club In De-Nile</b>. Then I used the one stroke technique to make the chevrons using blue and white acrylic paint and a short square brush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have you ever tried the one stroke technique? Do you have any tips?</span></b></i></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi everyone! A bit late with this week's Twinsie Tuesday post but at least I still made it on the Tuesday! One of my resolutions this year was to cook at home more instead of eating out or getting take out... I've actually got more into it and it's feeling less like a chore but I'm still really slow at it and it's cutting into my nail/blog time :( </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is <b>"Shades of Green"</b> I didn't have time for nail art so here's some swatches from a few months ago instead. This is <b>If I Ruled the World</b> from the Deborah Lippmann Her Majesty Holiday 2016 collection. This is a 9 piece collection that only came in minis I believe. I only have 2 unfortunately (re-gifted from a good friend). This is a really lovely shimmery hunter green. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For my accent nail I originally went with <b>China Glaze I'm Not Lion </b>(top picture) but my middle nail started flaking so I switched it to <b>OPI Honey Ryder.</b> Texture polishes work really well on nails that are flaking or thin and breaking I find. Hopefully now that it's warmer out my nails will stop being so flaky! </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "<b>Sparkle</b>" and I have some silver holo glitter over black. This is <b>OPI Which is Witch</b>, a clear base with holo micro glitter, short bar glitter, and hex glitter. I normally don't like bar glitter but I like these because they're so much smaller than regular bar glitter. The effect looks more like shards than that kind of "hairy" effect that longer bar glitters can have. </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a good weekend so far! Today I have a simple layering swatch to share. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Base is <b><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/03/essie-parka-perfect.html">Essie Parka Perfect</a>,</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> a pretty soft light blue/grey color. It has some light pink/blue shimmer that is visible in the bottle but is very hard to see on the nail. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">On top I added <b><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/02/china-glaze-white-cap-color-club-evolution.html">China Glaze White Cap</a>, </b></span>a very sheer white jelly with gold slightly duochrome shimmer that actually looks like really really tiny flakies and also kind of has a glass fleck look to it at times. Hard to describe but it's really gorgeous! (I had to turn to <a href="http://www.scrangie.com/2011/01/china-glaze-anchors-away-collection.html">Scrangie</a> for help describing this one!)<b style="color: #333333;"> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b style="color: #333333;"><br /></b></span>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Just a swatch today... This is <b>Nails Inc. Pudding Lane </b>from the 2012 Sprinkles collection. This is a blue crelly with purple and gold glitter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Shown is 3 coats. Formula was okay for this type of glitter. I'm not sure if it was my peel off base (diluted white glue) or because it was so cold out when I wore this... but the polish cracked quite badly and fell off in chunks</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">as you can see below</span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi everyone! Sorry about the lack of posts... I've been feeling a bit uninspired lately :( Anyway I hope that everyone has a good Valentine's Day! I don't really celebrate it but I do enjoy buying discounted candy afterwards! :) I also totally forgot until now (Monday night!) that today is also a Twinsie Tuesday day... This week's theme is "Inspired by the Season" so a Valentine's Day mani kind of fits here... I guess? Haha oops</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with 2 coats of <b>The Face Shop PK01</b>, a nice soft dusty kind of dirty pink. I really like this pink... it's feminine and sophisticated... Definitely not bright or too young looking. The formula was creamy and a bit thick but in a way that made it easier to control. It almost covered in one coat but there were a few slightly patchy spots.</span></span><br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is <b>"Inspired by Art."</b> I'm not very good at freehand so I decided to try and re-create <a href="http://pictify.saatchigallery.com/625668/saatchi-online-artist-corbin-henry-acrylic-2013-painting-black-on-beige-abstract">this circular splatter art by <b>Corbin Henry</b></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with two coats of<b> Emperor's New Clothes </b>from the <b>Deborah Lippmann</b> Her Majesty Holiday 2016 collection. This is a 9 piece collection that only came in minis I believe. I only have 2 unfortunately (re-gifted from a friend but I never say no to free polish!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Formula and coverage were pretty good. You can see a bit of my nail line on my ring and pinky but this wasn't noticeable in real life. The mini brush was better than I was expecting! This shade is a bit too dark for my skin tone though so I'll probably only use this as a base for nail art. Shown here without top coat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To mimic this look, I tried the <a href="https://youtu.be/zkCzju_1S2c?t=54s">sugar spun technique</a> (basically put a few drops of polish out, wait for it to start to dry and thicken, and then stretch the strings of polish across the nails) but instead of stretching the strings horizontally across the nails I tried to go in circles. I think my thumb turned out a lot better than my other nails. I guess maybe I should have let it dry longer? I left this without top coat to maintain the texture. <i>EDIT: I forgot to mention, black is <b>Avon Rapid Black</b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So... I actually managed to edit and schedule three weeks' worth of posts during the holidays... But then I got lazy with blogging since everything was scheduled... And then I got an annoying cold and just wanted to sleep so now I'm back to having a backlog of pictures I need to edit and posts I need to write and nothing written in advance :( Hopefully I will have some time to do posts this weekend... I'm planning on staying home and relaxing and getting rid of this last bit of my cold!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My middle finger nail broke too so please excuse it being a bit shorter!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with two coats of <b>Sally Hansen Pacific Blue </b>as my base. I went out and bought this back <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2014/06/sally-hansen-pacific-blue.html">when Sally Hansen completely changed the color but kept the name</a>. I hadn't really heard much about this polish before that, and wanted to try it after seeing how dearly some people loved it. It is a nice cobalt blue, slightly dusty but I didn't think it was that amazing... Not something I would personally stockpile anyway. The formula was creamy and easy to control... not outstanding just good. I didn't find it to be a one coater like other people have said. I also don't find the color that unique.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Then I added one coat of <b>Essie Shine of the Times</b>. It was a bit hard to capture the shift... the flakies were gorgeous in real life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi everyone! Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is <b>"Forgotten Favorite." </b>I took inspiration from <a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2012/08/the-best-of-you-interview-at-sweet-sugar.html">this mani from 2012</a> (Also I can't believe I've been blogging for 5+ years now!!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I liked the idea of all black, using matte and glossy finishes to show the stamping design. However I found after a few days of applying cuticle oil and hand cream that the design wasn't very visible anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So this time around I decided to try using</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2015/02/china-glaze-stone-cold-with-silver.html" style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-weight: bold;">China Glaze Stone Cold</a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">,</span><b style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;"> </b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">a dark matte grey with silver shimmer, as my </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">base (2 coats). Then I stamped with<b> Layla No. 24</b> a slightly jelly, very glossy black, which needs 2 coats for a mani. Plate is <b>Konad m78 </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b><br />
</b></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Which do you prefer? Matte dark grey stamped with glossy black? Or glossy black stamped with matte top coat?</i></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Today I have <b>China Glaze Fairy Dust </b>over black. Fairy Dust was one of my favorites when I first got into polish! I loved wearing it over black and didn't realize I had never shown it over black on this blog!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Fairy Dust is a clear thick gel base loaded with holo microglitter. This sparkles and looks beautiful over pretty much anything! Black is <b>Layla No. 24</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Today I have a New Year's Eve look to share. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Base is <b><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/05/avon-cosmic-moonbeam-part-2.html">Avon Moonbeam</a>,</b> a silver with subtle holo... I didn't manage to capture the holo here but you can see it in my <a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/05/avon-cosmic-moonbeam-part-2.html">earlier post</a>. Then I added one coat of <b>Sephora by OPI Flurry Up!</b> a clear base with silver hex glitter and silver microglitter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really like how this came out... It's blingy yet somehow still dainty. The silver glitter was subtle since it's a similar colour as the base. The glitter is only really noticeable when the light hits. </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Today I have a Ziploc bag smoosh mani from a while ago. This was inspired by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BIinnNPhtmX/">this mani</a> by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_polished_life/">Ashley / @The_Polished_Life</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I started with an <b>unlabeled hot pink Cosmetic Arts polish</b> (nicknamed Gwen). Then I put drops of the hot pink, <b>Color Club Yahoo Purple </b>(</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">I won this polish in a </span><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/04/color-club-tumblr-blue.html" style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">giveaway</a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">...

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The purple was thicker and didn't blend with the pink and black very well unfortunately. I do really like these colors together though! Maybe I'll try it again with a different pink/purple. What do you think of this mani?</span>Lovestruck Lacquerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04422355681849821603noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772868764209247463.post-71635525908919579742016-12-25T06:00:00.000-08:002016-12-25T06:00:20.947-08:00Shortbread Bites Inspired Jelly Sandwich<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone! I haven't done a jelly sandwich type layering in ages! This was inspired by </span><a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes/a5456/shortbread-bites-1945/" style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace;">this picture from a recipe for shortbread bites.</a><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with one coat of <b>Revlon Sheer Sugar</b> and then added one coat of this <b>unlabeled Cosmetic Arts </b>Christmas looking glitter. (I did my index before deciding to take step by step pictures lol)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Then I added one coat of Sheer Sugar on top for the jelly sandwich effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I felt like one coat was too sheer though so I added another coat on top. I felt I had enough glitter though! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I think Sheer Sugar ended up being closer to white than I was expecting... I was hoping it would be closer to the light beige of the shortbread bites. It also made the green glitter a bit blue tinted... Not as blue as my camera made it though!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>What do you think of this layering? Do you prefer it with one jelly coat on top or two?</i></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Today I have <b>OPI Stay Off the Lawn </b>from the Fall 2016 Washington DC collection to share with you. I've been looking for a nice dark green creme for a while and found this recently on clearance for $5 :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Stay off the Lawn is a dark hunter green with just a hint of blue tone to it. Formula was really nice. Shown is 2 coats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I tried to add this camouflage print looking stamping to it but I'm not too happy with the way it turned out. Especially my pinky finger which smudged pretty badly with top coat. Plate is <b>Pueen 05 </b>stamped with Konad black stamping polish and my old red Konad stamper.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi everyone! I'm a bit late with this week's Twinsie Tuesday post but... It's still Tuesday at least! :) Today's theme is "Holiday Special"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I had to shorten my nails a bit :( my nails tend to break when it's cold out. I broke my middle finger nail... I managed to patch it with a tea bag and super glue but it ended up a bit lumpy so I'll have to cover it with texture polishes or chunky glitter until the patch grows out. I also feel like textures add a bit of strength to nails... My nails don't bend as easily as they do with just creme polish! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started with two coats of <b><u><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2016/02/nicole-by-opi-my-cherry-amour.html">Nicole by OPI My Cherry Amour</a></u></b> a berry magenta texture with a bit of holo sparkle. Not a classic Christmas red but I think it still works! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Then I stamped with <span style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/xmas-deer-fireworks-nail-stamp-template-christmas-image-plate-born-pretty-bp82-p-23265.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Born Pretty Store BP-82</a></span><b style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">.</b><b style="text-align: center;"> </b><span style="text-align: center;">Use my code </span><span style="color: magenta; text-align: center;"><b>SL10k31</b></span><span style="text-align: center;"> for 10% off!</span> I had a bit of trouble picking up the thinner lines (around the stocking and ornament) and it took me a few tries (used my old red rubber Konad stamper). I haven't tried with any other polishes though to be fair and thinner lines tend to be a bit harder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I ended up adding top coat to this... As much as I like the look of texture polish I find the tips wear off in a couple days and also it tends to look a bit dusty/dirty after a while. I knew I probably wouldn't have time to redo my nails this week so I had to! </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted much this week... It's been pretty busy with people visiting from out of town! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I did a metallic gradient over a slightly holo silver base. No particular reason just experimenting :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Base is <b><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2014/05/avon-cosmic-moonbeam-part-2.html">Avon Moonbeam</a></b> gradient stamped with <b>Layla No. 24</b> (2 coater jelly black), <b><a href="http://lovestrucklacquer.blogspot.ca/2013/09/color-club-beyond-dark-grey-holo.html">Color Club Beyond</a></b> (charcoal holo) and <b>Essie No Place Like Chrome</b> (silver) using <b><a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/grid-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp13-p-17258.html">Born Pretty Store plate BP-13</a> </b>use my code <b><span style="color: magenta;">SL10k31</span></b> for 10% off!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Plate was engraved well as always and I had no issues transferring the images. There's some nice full nail images here and I've been meaning to use the music image but just haven't got around to it yet!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm not completely happy with how this came out... I think I should have scraped across the plate more to blend the colors better. The blending looks good on my pinky but of course it's totally slanted lol</span></div>
