Dark Tommy

Sunlight

Botched Stamping
Hope everyone's weekend is going well. Dark Tommy by BB Couture arrived in nail mail Saturday. I am a sucker for really dark reds and browns. This may be my next pedicure color. It is so dark and vampy. BB Couture makes some really great colors. This one was not from the men's line, but polish is polish. The formula is great. I was able to apply it in two easy coats. This was not supposed to be what I was supposed to be wearing. I made two attempts at stamping for the Sunday stamping challenge. The first try was too dark a base color and the stamping was barely visible. Then I tried a lighter base color and it just looked like crap. Then I said screw it and put on Dark Tommy. This morning I was feeling guilty for not submitting the challenge, so I stamped these leaves. Then I proceeded to mess it up. There are time when you have to know when to give it up.

PS. I thought I had cleaned up good until I saw the pictures. The camera is brutal!

    1. I've liked this type of color for a long time. I am just now getting around to adding them to my collection. I have so many blues, greens and grays. I want to try some other colors.

    1. Exactly, after three attempts, I decided it wasn't meant to be this week. Next Sunday is looking to be a pretty wide open challenge.
