Crystal Healing // Pink Gradient with Purple Crystals

Look 2 of my self-imposed Mani & Lola challenge to do at least 5 looks using that months polish. On my little sheet, I simply scribbled down "Jessica & Razzle Dazzle Chrome". I was thinking chevrons but then when I was rooting through my plates I saw the Crystal plate and was like "oh yes." 

This didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to however I did manage to paint inside the lines for the most part when reverse stamping which is a first for me; I did really take my time though. The gradient turned out quite well and I was really shocked by the pigmentation of the Essence polishes. They only cost £1.69 each but every time I use them they surprise me; I'm definitely going to have to go get some more. 

How I did it:-

I started off with a base coat of Cheeky and then sponged on 2 layers of Cheeky, Rosewood Forest and Perfect Match. After a quick dry top coat I picked up the crystal designs with Razzle Dazzle and then filled them in with Fly Away whilst they were still on the stamper. As this takes a while, I applied a layer of top coat, waited about 40 seconds and then stamped them on. I double stamped the writing and then just used another design from the Crystal plate on my middle finger.
