When I think about orange, Greek pottery springs to mind. This design I’ve done twice before, once handpainted and once stamped. I’m using the stamping plates from Moyou London explorer collection, plate 18 that I didn’t stamp with last time.
I started with a base of Max Factor “Satsuma” and using the cling film technique added Essence “Happy” and Loreal 805 (a brown/gold colour). After stamping I applied a matte top coat.
The stamp I’ve used on the thumb, despite being on Suki plate 06, has always looked Greek to me. Back tomorrow with yellow.

Soo wonderful. I love the ancient greek art and I find this design just delightful!
🙂
Thank you, I love all things ancient it seems! 🙂
Me too, I’d say almost everything from bronze age to about the end of the Renaissance is my “core eras ” :o) I sometimes wonder how nail art would have looked then, if it had been invented 😛
Ooh I’ve never thought of that!! Good thing it wasn’t or we would have no new things to try!
