Where In The World - Sweden

I am continuing my world tour today with a new entry for the Where In The World challenge and this time I'm in Sweden.

Personally I have never been to Sweden and I know practically nothing about it's country or culture. So I opened Google and typed Sweden and came up with a photo of the Royal palace in Stockholm.

So I decided to give it a try. I started with 2 coats of BarryM Blueberry Jelly, a beautiful light blue jelly polish.

Then I used Sally Hansen's Blue Me Away and Blue It to create a gradient, and as usual I managed to do it on the wrong side... So all the pictures are shown upside down... I was bummed about it enough when I realized I did it on the wrong side that I was totally unmotivated to do the cleaning. So this one has hell of a cleaning too. I hope you can forgive me though... Please?

Then I started with the stamping. First was the crown, taken from Bundle Monster's plate BM08. I stamped it using China laze Passion, my new go-to gold stamping polish. I wish it was just a tiny bit yellower but... One has to compromise I suppose... So the crown went on the darker side of this mani. Then I taped the top part of the nail and I used plate BM319 and A-England Holy Grail I to create the lights reflecting on the water.

After a layer of Seche Vite and a few minutes to let it dry, I taped the entire part that is stamped already and I used plate Fun2 by Fab Your Nails and China Glaze Passion to stamp the buildings at the top part of my nail. Lastly I added a dark blue line using Sally Hansen Blue It and a striping brush. Well, naturally the lame cleaning makes the whole thing looks messy and sloppy. I might try it again soon *sigh* But for now - here's my Sweden.
