30 Mani Marathon - Manicure 24: Inspired By A Book

5o Shades of Grey

This design began with a base coat and two coats of Zoya Carey. Then, I used Color Club Dark 'n Stormy to stamp images from a variety of plates (Bundle Monster BM-H22, BM-416, BM-420, BM-425, BM-H18; Shany SH07; Mash 32).

Then, I spaced out and put a layer of Seche Vite on top....forgetting that Seche makes Zoya shrink back from the tips and sides, doh! Normally, when doing a glitter mani, I'll lay the glitter right on the color with no top coat in between. However, I did the the color last night and the glitter today...so I needed to have a top coat for overnight, and just grabbed Seche cause it's my fave! Shrinkage was minimal this time, thankfully.

Anyway...today I added the glitter, two coats of Hard Candy Sugar Rush.

I then added one layer of Gelous top coat to smooth out the glitter, and ended with a coat of Seche Vite.

This manicure reminded me of Hershey's Cookies & Cream Chocolate Bars!
