Ok.... so, for this lovely mani I first polished my nails with petites' Twilight polish (no pic, sorry). I've read that using white or sliver as a base for more sheer colours can help them pop. I've done white plenty of times but wanted to try silver. I liked the way it turned out. So, then I did a couple of coats of Insta-Dri's Instant Iris. I love this colour, but I haven't used it much because it's very sheer without a good base colour. Anyway, after that I did a quick coat of SV just to lock everything in. Then I used China's Glaze's Matte Magic. I LOVE MATTE MAGIC. It's one of my favourite topcoats. It takes any polish you have and makes it matte. Love it and I loved what it did to Instant Iris. I would wear this colour by itself. So... After that I used a Konad plate to stamp on some swirly tips with Pure Ice Scandal, then another plate to stamp a little sliver heart (same colour as my base). and finally I outlined the hearts with a Sally Hansen black nail art pen. I will say that you MUST put a topcoat over these art pens or they run at the slightest hint of water.
