If I missed anyone, please leave me a comment, I think a few new people started and I don't want to leave anyone out.

I know I have said this before in one of my blogs but matte is just not something I really am into.  I am rarely a fan of how it looks, although I have run across a few that have grown on me.  As a side note, I am also anti-crackle.  I just can't get into that stuff at all.  However, for all those other anti-crackles out there, you have to check this out.  Done by The Gorgeoisie one of newest favorite bloggers. I just love her stuff. So simple but really cool looking.  Anyway, I digress......you will see why in a minute....

I started out (since I had it on the brain from glitter tips), with two base coats of Nubar Hyacinth Sparkle.  I wish the camera could catch the glitter, it just kind of looks gritty.

 

 

 

Maybe I should have put another top coat or two on because it looks like it just soaked it totally up.  I wore it like this for a few days to avoid the matte finish, and finally.....

 

This is with a stamp of Konad Special White using cheeky CH11.  Then I applied Matte About You.  Results?????  Still don't like Matte.  I am not giving up yet though.
