I recently had the pleasure of doing an impromptu nail polish swap with the lovely Mari ofmuxe.net. A few of the El Corazon Eggs of Wild Birds polishes were on my lemming/wish list and I had mentioned this to her. They are not readily available in her area so I didn't expect her to ever find them, but she happened to come across them and snatched them up for me. A huge thanks to Mari for squashing one of my big lemmings. If you have not visited Mari's herblog yet, you are missing out on gorgeous swatches and nail art, so go check her out!
For today's manicure, I thought these pretty little birds would feel right at home on a polish inspired by bird eggs...
To create this manicure, I started out with the base of El Corazon N423/95. I then stamped the birdcages using Messy Mansion plate MM14 and Essence Stamp Me! Black stampy polish. To complete the look I added bird decals which I made a day ahead using the same MM14 plate, Stamp Me! Black and acrylic paint....
