Sometimes shopping your stash is a great idea
cause you discover hidden gems which you hadn’t fully appreciated the first
time round. This ancient Rimmel 819 –Green with Envy polish is one such case. I
re-discovered it this spring and I’ve since worn it 5 or 6 times wondering why
I hadn’t previously worn it more often. It’s a super shiny teal with a
blue-green duochrome pearl in. My camera really can’t capture it’s shine and
beauty, it looks almost chrome or molten metal.
I usually wear it on its own, but this time
I decided to go up a scale in the mermaid-o-meter and do some scaly stamping. I
used Models Own - Chrome Gold, a cool gold that wouldn’t contrast the teal,
and stamped it first with A-England - Proserpine. The stamp had thicker lines
than I wanted, but I still liked the idea of adding a bit more texture to the
design so I stamped it using Green with Envy on same plate, which was sheer
enough to make things more interesting without swamping it.
I will go on pretending I am a mermaid now!
