This has been a crazy week for me. Cra-zy. Not only have there been loads of ups and downs to deal with, I'm also sick :( So, I'll make this a really quick post and get back to resting.
I got a few Sally Hansen Lustre Shine polishes for Christmas and the first one that I tried was Azure. As you can see, it's a deep blue shade that shifts to purple at different angles. I paired it with Nails Inc Leather Effect Noho, a black textured polish. To kick it up a bit, I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep to stamp on some stars from an unnumbered Essence stamping plate from their Stampy set. I didn't use any topcoat on Noho, preferring to keep the texture as rough as possible.
This is actually my first experience stamping, so it's a little messy, but it's not as horrible as I thought it would be. The stars actually look like stars! ;P
I love the mix of finishes in this manicure; the shimmer and the texture contrast, but it's all tied in by the dark colours and the stamped stars. Edgy and easy, what more could you want?!
Have a great week!

Ps: I got a new camera for Christmas, so you'll notice a change in my photos (hopefully it's a good change!). I'm still trying to get used to the fancy buttons, so bear with me!
