NOTD: Yssy No.74 + Cheeky CH11

Pin It Now!
On to the nail stuff!

You know sometimes when I do nail designs with stamping, I try to compliment the colour of the base lacquer or add contrast to it or sometimes even take down the brightness of it a bit. Today I get to explain the last one with an example. 


Photos taken outdoors on a cloudy day.

 I was trying to figure out what to use over Yssy No.74, which is a bright yellow/green (see swatch HERE) and I thought this pattern would be nice, so I stamped with Sally Hansen White On. The design is Cheeky CH11 plate.
 If you look at the way the original base lacquer looks on it's own, you can really see the difference in its tone once the stamping is added. In real life it's really prevalent. I'm wondering, am I the only one who uses stamping this way, to change the way the base colour looks?

Till next time!
