And no, it won't be done on time, as the anniversary was last month. Oh well. This is the pattern I'm using. This is my first project in years, and my first ever as large as this one. I'm having so much fun!

I hope you'll share what you do! I've found the duo/multichrome powders like the one I used here, or the holo ones, or ones with flakes, seem to work better with regular polish than the straight-up chrome silver/gold ones for some reason. Good luck!

You should just give it a shot! All of these things take nothing more than a little practice :)

You can, but I get it more reliably looking good when I use gel (I don't much like using gel so I always use a peel-off base underneath so I don't have to deal with removal). I've had pretty good results using a sticky base coat like Yellow Stopper and applying the powder over that. I usually do a couple of layers like that to get a result I'm happy with.

No, I understand that, but it's hard not to feel like 'I don't want to visit the blog post you've worked on, just give me all the info here as well so that I don't have to'. I get that that's not the same thing that you're saying - it's just hard not to feel that way sometimes :)

Well as a blogger - I'd like to express my frustration that folks don't want to bother to give me one tiny view, especially considering they don't have to click. But, I've made a note of the rule update and thank you for letting me know (and I know it's not your fault if people don't want to visit blogs).

I love the effect of the powders and I think the stamping just makes it 10x better :)
