Labradorite
Labradorite is a mineral which looks amazing when polished, and it has all these colours which are perfect for the smoosh attack technique.
These are the polishes I smooshed on a stainless steel palette:
Chanel Peridot
Dance Legend Wazowski
Essie Turquoise & Caicos
YSL Bleu Cyclades
Afterwards, I went in with a fine brush and black polish to add the striations:
Balmain Noir
Top tips:
• it’s a bit messy. You are going to need tape, or glue or latex around your fingers to help with clean up.
• don’t press too hard with the stamper on your nail – because you have more polish and it’s wetter, you can slide right off your nail easily.
• you can go right back in and put the polish on your nail again – you can get a couple of presses on to the nail from 1 smoosh because it takes longer to dry – very useful if you missed a bit!
