Saturday Morning MEHni

Yesterday after spending the night before cleaning my turtle tanks, my poor butteryfly mani was chipped to bits, so it was time to do something new.  I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I thought I’d try something light and pretty using one of the gifts I got for my Birthday.

I chose WnW Wild Card and thought it would be pretty with some white floral stamping on top using my new Konad plates.  That would be pretty!
No, not so much…

This mani quickly turned into a MEHni.  I was absolutely unimpressed with it.  I love that feeling I get when I do my nails and my insides squeal and go “OOOOOH LOOOVE!”, that didn’t happen this time.  I wasn’t sure if it was the color that didn’t suit me or that the stamping was sub-par, or that they just didn’t go well together.  When I later looked at the photos from before the stamping (which were too blurry to bother posting) the base color alone didn’t look that bad.  Just something changed once the stamp was added, and it made it look like poo.
I often see people doing white on pinkish colors and I love it, but this did not do it for me at all.
I tried to give it a chance, I really did… but it was short lived.  Two hours later the remover came out and this MEHni was yesterday’s news.
What do you think is the problem here?  It’s the stamping, right?  … or do you think the base color doesn’t work for me?  It’s such a lovely color, I’m pretty sure it’d be ok without the stamping, at least not THIS stamp.
