Electric Purple Zebra & (an attempt at) Summer Flower Garden!

Hi everybody. Hope you all had a nice weekend! This will be a very quick post today but I have a couple of stamping designs to show you, for which I used China Glaze Electric Pineapple and OPI Fiercely Fiona as bases.

Here is the first one. I stamped using BM16 and Mavala Mexico, and then added some purple tips also with Mavala Mexico:




The second design didn't come out so well. I knew what I wanted to achieve in my head but it didn't really translate to the nails. Afterwards I realised where I went wrong. The orange polish I used was too sheer and although it was good for stamping, it wasn't so good for tips. Also, I don't really like the way the 2 flower colours meet :-(
Using yesterday's swatches of EP and FF as a base I stamped with BM06, Missguided Misstaken and Collection 2000 Ninja.
