Sunday Challenge: Choose an image you Don't Like

I almost didn't want to vote on a challenge this week, I realised all three choices would be quite tricky for me.  They all meant there was no chance of grabbing a nice and forgiving generic full nail flowery swirly pattern, I would have to leave my comfort zone!

1. A stamp you don't like
2. Only using individual images, no full nail images
3. Nelson Mandela International Day (inspired nails)

Finally "A stamp you don't like" was voted for and I realised it would be a great chance to try out an image I would never normally wear.

So I chose the bold scales from Moyou London's Sailor collection.  I really want to like this image, but it just seemed too bold and the scales too large for my liking.  I decided a really really pink girly glitter would help the image to look like delicate fish or mermaid scales.

Base colour: Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine, and lots of pink iridescent glitter
Stamp colour: Konad Black
Image plate: Moyou London Sailor Collection

The point of no return

The scales look chunky from every angle

My nails are about the longest I am comfortable wearing them

If I glance at my nails at arms length, I see a crossword puzzle

Even with low light, the scales are too strong looking for me

Tools of the trade
