40 Great Nail Art Ideas - 3 shades of purple

Hey everyone one. It's time for another 40 Great Nail Art Ideas mani. Geez these weeks are just rolling on by!

I can't believe it's Australia Day on Tuesday and I haven't prepared any new Australia Day nails. I'm going to have to do a rehash post this year I think. Especially as we are going out of town for an extra long weekend, leaving tomorrow. I just packed up a little nail bag to take with me. Can you beleive I limited myself to only three polishes for while I'm away for 4 days!

Onto today's art. The theme for this week is three shades of purple, and my individual prompt was pattern on pattern. Oh how I struggled with this one! I did attempt some stamping with two designs stamped on on top of each other, but it looked terrible and I didn't even take photos of it, Then I saw this plate from Messy Mansion and I finally got an idea.

My pattern on pattern is the harlequin pattern base and then the eye mask decal. I know calling the mask a pattern is a little bit of a stretch, but it's all up to our own interpretation. Right?

My base polish is Picture Polish Wisteria (original version) and the stamping is with a purple Mundo de Unas polish. The purple in the mask is coloured in with Pretty Serious Poltergeist Puddle.
