Today, my inspiration comes from my imagination-a beautiful mansion, left vacant for years. It was once the social center of the neighborhood at its height. The parlor was always full of ladies and gentlemen, dressed to the nines, drinking, dancing, and laughing. Alcohol and music flowed freely and the walls were covered with luxurious wallpapers laced with gold threads.
Then, the family money ran out and they couldn't keep the staff to maintain their luxury interior decorations. Things started to fade and unravel. And the wallpaper lost it's luster in spots
To start this faded wallpaper, I started with two easy coats of NYX Moss.
Moss is a dark gray-tinged green filled with gold shimmer that gives it movement.
This is only the second NYX polish that I've used and I was really impressed with the formula. Two coats covered evenly and smoothly. And application was a breeze!
Then, I stamped with OPI Love Angel Music Baby and Konad plate M79. I love how the stamp didn't fully transfer on all the nails, giving it the distressed look I was going for. I topcoated and that finished off my distressed wallpaper look.
Check out what the other ladies had to offer, below! I love being part of such a creative group!
