After last week's lovely dark base, I wanted to pick a bright contrasting shade for stamping over the top.

I ended up going with metallic gold! Gold is just one of those shades that I love combining with pretty much every shade there is.

Quick recap of my base shade - China Glaze Midtown Magic, a vampy purple-burgundy with gold microflakies.

The design I'm using is the pattern of gears from Born Pretty stamping plate BPL-022. I love this plate, it's just full of fun designs. I've previously used the
pencil design off this plate as well.

The stamping shade I used is Hit the Bottle To Have and To Gold, a bright yellow gold which I've also used in a previous
stamping mani. I think it really pops against the dark base.

Pretty pleased with this one! The only thing I'm a bit iffy about is that with shorter/smaller nails, you wouldn't be able to fit very many gears on each nail. But the good thing is that there's a nice mix of sizes and they're not spaced too far apart, which helps prevent blank spots with no design.
