Industrial Chic Cheeky XL Nail Stamping

Hey all!

I have been experimenting with different color combos to see what subtle manicures I can come up with for the workplace.  This week I have a pretty neutral manicure, but with a very obvious pattern.  Here's how it came out.  The smudging on my index finger is definitely operator error...

Manicure
1 coat Perfect Formula Gel Coat
2 coats Zoya Toni (we'll get to this in a bit)
Stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-dri Slick Slate with Cheeky XL A plate
1 coat Hard as Wraps Hard as Nails
1 coat Dazzle Dry Top Coat

This is the first time I've used Toni...and I was not happy with the formula at all.  The first coat was extremely streaky, yet it started to goop up on the brush.  After 2 coats it was opaque on most of my nails but still showed patches in the sunlight.

For some reason I was not feeling this color either.  I was just hoping that the stamping color and design I chose would make me happier with the manicure.  I didn't want to have to start all over again. 

Here's Toni in natural light:

I guess they all can't be winners, but the stamping changed everything and I'm really happy with the end result.

Are there any particular designs you wear to work?

Wishing you amazing manicures,
