I don't think it's possible for me to wear textured polish anymore without eventually stamping over it. As I've said before, textured stamping is just so great! It tends to disguise imperfections in the stamping, that may or may not be a direct result of my *ahem* lack of stamping skills. Plus, it looks really interesting to boot!
Last time I wore a stamped textured look, you guys really seemed to like it! This one isn't quite as subtle or glamorous, but has a strange appeal all its own.

Vivid Lacquer plate VL009 - Water spotted image
I'm wearing two coats of the textured polish in these photos, and added the stamping after about a day of wear. The nice thing about the spotted image on the Vivid Lacquer plate is that it's SUPER wide, which allows you to randomize the pattern across your nails (no two nails will look alike)!
I did have a bit of trouble with the large open spaces in the plate though. When I scraped the excess polish off, my scraper tended to clean out more of the image than I'd have liked. I'm not sure if that's due to the plate or my own inexperience.
As the texture begins to degrade and smooth out from natural wear, the stamping will be affected too. But, I got a few solid days of wear on top of my one day of wearing the texture naked!
Very beautyful!
ReplyDeleteWow these look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good, the 2 go together perfectly and the flecks of red and blue in that purple is so nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhich color silicon (?) stamping head did you use to catch all the textured sections of the design space? Is an especially soft head more likely to get into the crevices of the textured surface?
ReplyDeleteI used a stamper from MoYou US, it's soft but not especially sticky or squishy. I think almost any stamper would work, just give it a try! :)
ReplyDeleteThe end result of these is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the bits of glitter peeking through.
ReplyDeleteAlso try scraping at a 45 degree angle or less and scraping slower. That usually works for me.
I'm loving the texture of your nails!

How gorgeous is that base polish? I absolutely love this mani!
ReplyDeleteI thought these were actually water spotted! I love stamping over textured polish, it just gives it a whole new look. I added top coat over mine so the stamping wouldn't rub off, of course the texture wasn't as present anymore, but you can't have it all.
It's beautiful! I love stamping over textured polishes! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous combination! I really like this :).
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered what stamping over textured polish would look like. This is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove love love this!
ReplyDeletethis is such a cool look, very unique! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. I bet you could use greens and make this look like mold for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I've noticed how your style has been evolving these past few months -- you're staying fresh, edgy, new, yet still clean and not malignantly over-the-top with your art. Thank you for all the inspiration you've given me!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cat, I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteWow, the nails look great! I have never tried a texture nail polish before. How is it to take off? Is it like removing a glitter nail polish?

Most textures, unless they contain a ton of glitter pieces, are actually quite easy to remove!
