SKI TEAL THE BUTTERFLIES DROP :)



Ok, how many colors does that glitter have? I see red, orange, green, yellow, blue, silver . . . hot to trot sister!! I love this mani :) It is going down as one of my favorites! I have really been drawn to these dark teal blue colors recently.

For the base I did two coats of OPI Ski Teal We Drop, then I dusted on loose LA Splash glitter in Onyx (This glitter is awesome!! Going to do a post on these glitters soon!) and then lastly I stamped a butterfly in white. I really loved the white I used to stamp with, it has a sort of see-through quality that I think works better than if I would have used a bright white bold stamp.

    Oooh! I like! How is the application of STWD for you? I'm wearing the same color right now and let me tell you - it was a total PITA for me!

    Oooh! Butterflies with sparkly magic! That's really nice. What kind of stamping plate did you use?
