Nails & Needles

Of knitting and nail polish

Stamping success? Well, kind of!

I recently bought some stamping plates and have been practising stamping a bit “in the dark”. By that I quite obviously don’t mean in actual darkness, but rather behind the scenes, to use a different expression. In other words, I didn’t want to post anything here until I was at least semi-successful at it.

This was my first, well, I’m not going to say perfect (look at that ring finger nail!), but at least decent, attempt.

I started off with two coats of (and this is embarrassing: I can’t actually remember which one it was!) either Butter London Slapper or Isadora Go Green. Seriously, I should start writing these things down when doing them, and not a week or two later. Usually I can recall which polishes I used for a particular mani, but not so this time. Urgh! (As soon as I get home to my stash, I’m going to do comparison swatches of both likely culprits to try to figure out which one’s the one used here. Promise!) Yeah, so, ::cough::, it’s Illamasqua’s Elope. Look at my memory being brilliant! =P (More on my recent Illamasqua acquisitions soon.

After that was sufficently dry, I used Isadora’s Tip White to stamp on a design from BM 322, a plate from Bundle Monster’s 2012 collection. Finally, I topped it off with a coat of Poshé to help dry and protect it.
