Stamping with M Polish over a pastel jelly sandwich base!

**Nothing to disclose**

Hey y'all! 

Today on the blog, I have some springy/Easter-y stamping for you. I love how delicate this turned out, although my light box washed it out a bit. 

Stamping with M Polish Apricot Delight

I was thrilled with how this turned out. I was inspired by the super talented Ana over at Ana's Manis for this mani. If you're not following her, you should be! She does beautiful work. 

How about a shot of what I used to create this mani?

And because I had a total DUH moment, I forgot to include the stamping plate in the above photo, so I took a separate shot after the fact:

I started with my QTica base coat. That stuff is the bee's knees for real. My nails have never been healthier! I went on to adding one coat of China Glaze Inner Beauty. This polish was a clearance purchase from Sally's Beauty Supply and I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a jelly. If you've been reading my last 10 or so posts, you know that I am having a major love affair with all of the jelly and crelly polishes!

After my first coat of Inner Beauty was mostly dry, I added a coat of Cagedbird Lacquer Faerie Carnival. I purchased this polish in a destash and fell in love with it. I was so disappointed to find out that this indie brand is no longer in business. :( This polish is a glitter topper that has scattered holographic micro glitter and matte pastel hex glitter in a clear base. SO beautiful for spring manis. Once that layer was dry, I went back with one more layer of Inner Beauty and allowed a few minutes of dry time before moving on to stamping.

Using M Polish Apricot Delight and my BPS stamping plate, I added a lacy floral design to my jelly sandwich. I decided that I didn't want it to be super shiny so I topped it with the Zoya Satin topcoat that I got from Ulta as a free gift when they were running a promotion.

Here's a macro to show the details of the stamping. How delicate is that?

I have been doing Easter manis this week and kind of wanted to do something that wasn't super Easter-y but could still fall into that category. What do you think of the final result?
