Death of Chocolate

Some day I really hope to have time to make a super fancy Candy Land mani, but today I only had time for some quick chocolate bunnies. Pretty sure these came from some kind of meme and I love it. I also decided to use one of my brown stamping polishes that are also “chocolate”. While I dearly love Maniology’s “Cocoa”, I decided I hadn’t been giving B. Loves Plates’ “B. a Milk Chocolate” enough love. I love the beautiful shimmer in it, even though it’s not terribly opaque. It gives it such a warm look.

Items in italics are debuting on the blog for the first time.

As I said, my stamping polish isn’t the most opaque and The Stamping Shop’s plates do not have the deepest etchings. I used the brushes Maniology sent me in one of their ManixMe boxes to help re-fill in the bunny decals and then went back and added highlights on top with a bit of the base polish. The bunny on my thumb also has a little ‘x’ over its eyes although I shouldn’t have filled in the eye first with black because it unfortunately shows through.

Moyou London’s typography stamping plate had cursive letters that flow into one another quite well if you position carefully. I curved the phrase a little to help frame the decapitated bunny head on my thumb. A yummy chocolate rabbit indeed. 🤤
