Hey stamparellas,
I thought today's theme was going to crush me. Why? Because I had no idea what this concept should entail. I thought Youtube means I need the logos or something right? I don't have them on MoYou London plates. I have them on other plates that can't be included. Then I thought hey I started on Youtube well before my blog or any other social media accounts. Youtube was the birth of Lacquer Lockdown. I only created the blog because Youtube kept deleting my info box and all the relevant details I put there. The blog was my backup insurance and then it became more prominent than my Youtube channel. So I figured why not create a mani from one that started me on this path with MoYou products? Then everything became easy...
Mani-louge
Basecoat/Topcoat: Duri Rejuvacote / Poshe Super Fast Drying Topcoat
Basecolors: Polished by KPT Permanganate and Sunday Morning
Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas #2
Stamping plates: MoYou London Suki 02, 06, 08
My Geisha girl nails were originally done using the Konad special plate and stamper. I really can tell this was from so long ago because of how I created my gradients etc. Lol I can only shake my head seeing that today. I've come a long way that's for sure. This time I decided to let a thermal do the talking and the gradation. That meant PolishedbyKPT Sunday Morning and Pomegranate - blue and pink to white thermals respectively. That was the hardest part - picking the bases. I own every single Suki Collection plate. It's one of my favorite collections bar none from MoYou and I really hope they keep adding plates to it. Having all the plates made it easy to look through and find the elements I wanted. The point of this mani wasn't to do things verbatim from the prior mani, but to take something I loved then and put my spin on it now. Yes, I needed the geisha girl and the flowers and a few jewels, but everything else was going to be in my current style.
You can really see the thermal transitioning in these last two pictures! Love these polishes so much!
So what do you think? I feel that because I took elements of who I was when I started out and who I am now years later I got the best of both worlds. I love stamping, but I also forgot how much I love studs and rhinestones, and all that girly stuff. I really enjoyed this mani. It flowed which has been rare in this challenge. I hoped you liked it and thanks for reading! See you next post...
