Stamping: A Quick How To Guide

Alot of people ask me how stamping works when they haven't done it before or haven't used a MoYou plate.

You should have a stamping plate, stamper, special polish, scrapper, nail varnish remover, cotton ball and cotton bud with nail varnish remover on; then follow this sequence:

Halloween Ideas...

I was really un inspired the other day so I thought if I did some Halloween Nails it might kick start me in the right direction. I really like Bewitched and Pumpkin Patch - Will probably be doing bewitched as I am a sucker for Navy and Gold combos...

 

 

The idea is to have the Witches Silhouette (Bundle Monster Stamp) Against the Moon - all other nails should look like the Night's Sky ;) awww...

(I used an MUA midnight blue and Barry M - Yellow Topaz)

 

The 6 Autumn Nail Designs: Applied to Falsies

So my paper paintings of these nails didn't really do them justice I thought I would spend a bit of time this week doing them up for you...

1) Autumn Leaves...

 

Barbie forgot her Budget: This weeks mini Haul

Hello Ladies...
(and any gentlemen)

Barbie on a Budget will be Up Later but I thought I would just Show You What I have Bought this week... I am also posting 6 Autumn Designs to inspire you all Tomorrow!

 

I'm not sure how things got so ?Expensive... but ho hum... Can't wait to play about with 'Matte about you' - I have already Thought Up some Sunday Experiments to try with this bad boy... Sort of wish I didn't have to write Barbie on a Budget today because I Really Want to show you these Designs and do a Manicure...

23rd June - Sunday Experiments

Sunday the day of the rest -  I just wanted to mess about and find the best way to create effects for some of my Summer Designs.

 

This is me messing about for the No 13 - Strawberries and Cream Summer Nail Design. The pink is cute and girlie, but I think I need to make the 'Seeds' a bit smaller as it looks like a Mr Blobby Nail!

The red is a bit harsh, so am going to riffle through my collection and try and find something a bit less harsh... Let me know what you think? My mum thought it was the perfect colour...

Or maybe I should try a neon pink...?

Follow me to see the end result and comment below with your opinion!

 

This is me playing about with the Barry M Croc Effect in Burgundy. I feel a bit cheated really, it's just like the Gold Crackle they do, without the texture, and it looks nothing like the design on the lid. Present day I'm sure they could scan the effect and then pretty it up?

I do really like it over the white (Essie Blanc) but it doesn't sit well on top of the greens, which was the idea for Martini Nails...

What's your favourite? Do you like the effect?

Comment below and let me know what you think.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, try and resist those Monday blues!

World Peace .\/..
