Stained Glass Remnants

Ok, so this isn't a manicure post, but I thought it was funny.  The stained glass manicure didn't last that long (probably because by the time I added the color it was like it's 7th coat of polish).  But, when it decided to come off, it thought it was so cool, it should remain as tiny pieces of art.  The 8 stained glass nails decided to come off like this:



I could almost save these and use them as fake nails for a future date when I'm too lazy to polish!

Stained Glass (for Ryah)

Ryah dreamed it, I painted it.  I have no idea if it was what was in her dream, but it was what was in my head (and on the Internet).  And thanks to Kari for encouraging the color.

Colors used:

Base pinks was a mix of Orly Passion Fruit as a base and China Glaze Sexy Silhouette sponged on top.  In the stained glass partitions, I painted and then sponged for texture China Glaze Solar Power, Sky High-Top, Frostbite, Four Leaf Clover and Breakin'.  For the Tulip fingers: China Glaze Bahamian Escape for the blue circle, a mix of China Glaze Salsa and Japanese Koi for the Tulip petals and So Easy Stripe Rite Neon Green for the leaves.  Over each finger, I used Orly Rage (a metallic/foil) applied via sponge to give a little bit of light effect for the stained glass.  I then did the firm black outline with So Easy Stripe Rite in Black, and applied two coats of Seche Vite for extra glass shine!
