#31DC2013 Green - A England Dragon Subtle Snake Print Stamping


If you've been keeping up with me on my blog, you'd know that green is probably my favorite polish color, which makes me excited for tonight's post.  I have a plethora of greens to choose from, but keeping nail art in mind, I decided to go with a England Dragon.  It's a highly pigmented scattered holo that covers the nail like butter with one coat.  I decided to use two coats here for the camera.  Over top, I wanted to do something that had a reptilian feel to it, so I used my BM-224 plate and Maybelline Gold Aluminum to stamp some scales.  On my accent finger, I used three coats of Chirality Katydid and then stamped it with a England Dragon with the same design.

I've been wanting to do scales for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try while practicing my stamping technique.  I adore the subtle stamping of an otherwise edgy pattern and I'm comfortable enough with the colors that I'm not worried about standing out too much at work.

I'm excited to see what the other ladies have cooked up for today's challenge - I can never get enough green!
