Magic and Clouds

For today's look I started with CND Sticky then two coats of OPI DS Magic.  It is a beautiful color on its own but I wanted something a bit different so I pulled out my stamping plate stash and finally settled on Bundle Monster's BM-312 plate because one of the designs looks like clouds to me...what color to stamp with?  I have had issues with white, they never seem to be as dense as I want them to be.  I have tired several including the stamping polish from Born Pretty Store which I still didn't like.  I finally decided to try Julep Kate which is actually a pearl white...but it works!

OPI DS Classic

I have had this polish for some time and I'm not quite sure why I haven't worn it before now. This is sort of a new obsession for me and over the past couple of months my polish stash has grown from a few to...well lots of polishes! I still have LOTS that I have yet to wear. Anyway, on to this lovely polish! For this mani I really wanted some simple stamping, something wouldn't take away from the beauty of the polish. I love the formula of the DS Classic, it is a bit sheer on the first coat but the second is perfect coverage. For the stamping I finally decided on China Glaze Crimson. You would think from the name that it would be a deep red, at least that is what I think of as Crimson. But it is really a deep plum color which accented the gold of the DS Classic perfectly.
