Week 9 - "Vintage" Mani

I realized the other day that I am now a week behind in the Year's Challenge and that last Sunday was Week 9: "Vintage" Mani. I googled 'vintage mani' during one of my class breaks last week and was not too happy with what I found...

Here's one of the photos that came up under 'vintage mani':

Cosmopolitan - December 1936

I'm sure it was just fantabulous in 1936, but meh for 2012. Needless to say I wasn't too thrilled to do this mani, which is one of the reasons I wasn't stressing about not getting the post out on time due to homework overload.

After more than a week of thinking about this mani I decided that the "" around Vintage on the challenge list meant that "vintage" was open to interpretation. So here's what I came up with. It reminds me of vintage wallpaper. Like this:

For this mani I used one coat of China Glaze Admire (light metallic rose), stamping over it with Konad Special Polish in Black & using image plate BM21. I finished it all off with one coat of China Glaze Matte Magic Top Coat. What do you think? Is this "Vintage" enough?
