Stamped rose pattern

Today's post is my second stamping mani ever! I started off with a base of ONE COAT of Color Club Wild At Heart. ONE COAT! It went on so so opaque but the application was so dreamy. Not thick in the slightest. I am in love with this polish.

Then I picked the rose stamp on BM14 to use. It's a relatively small stamp but I wanted a full nail pattern... so I stamped it like a bajillion times on each nail with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White. Boy, did I get some good stamping practice in...


Oh yeah and did I mention that Color Club WAH is a purple HOLO!? A holo that looks good even in the shade, no less. It's a fabulous polish in my eyes.


So as you can see from your view up close, my stamping still needs a bit of work, as I ended up with a few bald patches from the plate that didn't transfer to the nail. But this mani had a lot of visual impact, and I'm proud that it was wearable! :) It looked like a set of wraps from far away!


I have been enjoying stamping a lot so far, and I am hoping to come up with some more creative uses for it! The possibilities are endless! :)

    You definitely can't even tell that the pattern wasn't from one larger plate. Well done!

    I luv this look! I've always wanted to try stamping, but didn't think it would turn out too well. You sure seem to know how to work it!
