Jelly Stampwich Fail

I bet you can already sense how excited I am about today's manicure. Ugh. Do you ever have one of those days where everyone says it looks fine, but you hate it anyway? That's how I feel about these nails. I saw this gorgeous mani by Cazzy at SpecialGirl Nails and loved it. Of course I had to try it myself, but I didn't have a grey jelly so I went with something a little brighter. I should have just let the jelly do its thing, but I was worried about the color being too translucent so I put on a white base coat. Then didn't wait long enough for it to dry and started stamping over the whole thing. It all turned out mushy and squishy, but not in a good jelly way.
 

The color is quite fun and it really pops on the white but I'll have be more careful the next time I use it. I got a lot of shrinkage around the edges as you can see especially on the pink.
