Nail Venturous Floam and China Glaze Flying Dragon

Flying on a Floam Dragon..Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well it is! I was going to have Floam Friday and I infact did this mani on Friday BUT there may have been a slight hitch with the lightbox that I use when my naughty black cat attacked it a little. There was some clean up to be done before use again. Grr. He's too cute to stay mad at for long and there wasn't any unfixable damage, so onward and upward.

So, what does Floam and Flying Dragon combo look like, it looks awesome!

I did my whole mani yesterday without taking photos except for the final look, but you'll get the general idea. I was inspired to use my Floam and thought China Glaze Flying Dragon (neon) would go well. It didn't turn out as neon as I wanted it, but it was still pretty darned good.

 I applied Ulta3 Base Coat, 2 Coats of China Glaze Flying Dragon Neon (borrowed pic)

Then I did a coat of Floam on my index and middle fingers and stamped with Catch Me and Jazz Olive and using a dotting tool I dotted some accents with Metallic Sapphire. I used Bundle Monster plates for the stamping.

I think the color combination looks very fun :)

Left Thumb, I attempted to layer the stamp with interesting but not super clear effect. The detail is hard to pick up in a photo :(

Flying Dragon is so hard to photograph! I didn't think it would be. The photos with the flash seem to show the stamping designs a lot clearer. I actually really love this look in person, the contrast between the Flying dragon and Floam is awesome! The color I chose to stamped were in an attempt to compliment the Floam, I hope you think I did alright on that. Any thoughts?

Oh, and here is a quick pic of my furbabys who I love as much as my polish!
