Peacock!!

A few weeks ago I received my Pueen Cosmetics stamping plates and ever since I got them I have wanted to used the peacock stamp. I haven't tested all of the images yet but as you can see the peacock image has stamped very well, and here is how I did this...

First I painted on my base coat as always! Then I applied 2 coats of China Glaze's Def Defying. This colour is very bright but it isn't quite neon bright so it is very nice :)

I then did a gradient on each nail, for this I again used China Glaze's Def Defying then also from China Glaze I used Hanging in the Balance (the blue) and Spontaneous (the purple). I thought these colours would be better for peacock but I was also contemplating using turquoise or pink as well. So next time I may substitute a colour and see how it turns out.

Then on every nail I used Konad's black special polish with Pueen plate Pueen09 and the amazing peacock pattern! I highly recommend purchasing this set of plates, I ordered them from pueencosmetics.com and with delivery on top to the UK this cost £19.49. Not too bad I say!

Then on the thumb and ring finger I applied a coat of Barry M's Pink Iridescent, this doesn't add any pink colouring. I also applied a top coat and then I was done :)

As you can see in the flash picture I should have stamped a bit more of the gradient colours on my thumb nail as there isn't enough of the purple, oops! But despite this I still really like this mani and you should try it!!

Hope you all like it too :)
