Beautiful Dreamer

I have a sentimental post for you today.  This mani is dedicated to a nail friend of mine in honor of her beautiful angel named Rowan.  Please read on for more pics and info about this mani.

Purple Angel Mani

As a parent, I can't even imagine that there is anything worse than losing a child.  Yet many parents are faced with that tragedy.  My heart goes out to all of them, whether they carried them for a short time in their bodies, or they were able to carry them in their arms.  This mani is for a very special baby girl named Rowan who unfortunately never got to meet her wonderful parents.  BeautifulDreamer, my thoughts are with you as the first year passes since Rowan's birth date.  Huge hugs, you darling woman.

LynB Designs was a gift.  All other polish purchased by me.

I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.

In honor of Rowan, a group of us in the nail community are painting our nails purple.  I used LynB Designs I Am Beyond Impropriety as my base color.  This gorgeous polish was gifted to me in a polish swap by a nail friend.  It is a medium dusty purple with gold flakies that dance in the light, which you can see in my bottle shot macro below.

I Am Beyond Impropriety has a fabulous formula; it applied wonderfully in two easy coats without flooding or pooling in my cuticles.  It dries to a smooth, shiny finish.  I used one coat of KBShimmer quick dry topcoat over I Am Beyond Impropriety to prepare for stamping on top.

I chose my MoYou London Artist plate 10 for my stamping images.  For crisp images I used MPolish Dancing in the Streets and Bronze for two-tone stamping.  I used my Creative Shop stamper as well.  The stamping in these photos below make the color appear little cooler/blue-toned than they actually are.  The photos above of I Am Beyond Impropriety are most color accurate.  In case you can't make out my images, my index finger is an angel kissing another angel or a mother kissing a child in this case, and spread across the rest of my nails is an image of an angel with bronze wings sleeping.

I took macro photos to show the detail of the image and the beauty of the sleeping angel.

Please send kind thoughts and well wishes to my nail friend, Beautiful Dreamer, on June 12th as we all celebrate Rowan.  Thank you!!
