Breast Cancer is something that has touched so many of us. To embrace the spirit of this month I have used the new Bundle Monster BM 321 plate I am soooo excited was in the 2012 collection.
Here's the finished look:
This Manicure:
Base Coat: Perfect Formula Gel Coat
2 coats Nails Inc Lowndes Square
Stamping polish: Sally Hansen Insta-dri Presto Pink
Top Coats:
Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Hard as Nails
Dazzle Dry Top Coat
There will be a video tutorial at the end of this post.
This is a subtle stamping that was inspired by a blog post by Polish Art Addiction click here. She used a lighter base color but I didn't have a purple that light. It is a little brighter in person, though.
Lowndes Square was the closest I could come up with. I love this color. It's also currently on sale at Sephora.com, when it's in stock, for $5.
There was one issue I had with this manicure. I find that some Sally Hansen Inst-dris (Lickety Split Lime and Presto Pink so far for me) must be left to dry for at least 5 minutes after stamping or the top coat will eat through the design making it see-through. I noticed this happening on my left hand, so I waited longer before putting top coat over my right hand.
Left Hand Right Hand
You can see the difference between how solid the pink ribbons are on the right hand vs. the left if you zoom in on the photos.
Regardless, I am happy and will sport this mani with pride. Please check out the video if you're interested in the step-by-step process.
Wishing you amazing manicures,
Bevy of Nails
