Today is the day 2 of the Valentine's Day Challenge hosted by Theodora and Kaki. I am so into making festive nails these days, that I am so happy to participate in this awesome challenge. Topic for today is SOFT PINK. I don't have many soft pink polishes, so it was quite hard to choose, but then I saw a beautiful one, and decided to this! Check out all the pictures and details after the jump!
I have started with a soft pink - nudish base color using OPI A Butterfly Moment. This polish has such a gorgeous shimmer, but I am really sorry I can not provide swatches for you today - I was doing this mani yesterday at midnight, so I remembered I didn't make any swatches in the middle of the stamping process.
For stamping I used my MoYou Festive Plate 20 and DRK-A Jumbo Plate. The design on my middle finger is from DRK-A, the rest is MoYou. My thumbs are done with Pet'la Plates Puzzles, but I am not able to make a good photo with my thumb in the picture. I am sorry. I promise to make some nice nail art these days with this plate as well.
I did a gradient stamping using my Mundo de Unas stamping polishes. I used Pink, Peach and Pastel Pink to create the gradient look. Unfortunately, the gradient is more visible in person than it the pictures below. You can get your Mundo de Unas stamping polishes at Hypnotic Polish online shop. I finished the manicure with one coat of OPI Matte Top Coat.

What do you think about this manicure? Is it soft enough? I love my Mundo de Unas stamping polishes because you can make such nice a delicate manicures. Anyway, check my first entry to the challenge here - the topic was romantic lace.
Hope you girls like my work, and I am so looking forward to all your comments!
