Hot House Flowers Nail Stamping

Hey all!

This week I was going for having a painting on every nail.  Here's what I came up with:



Manicure:
1 coat Perfect Formula Gel Coat
2 coats Dazzle Dry Lavender Parade
Stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-dri Co-Bolt Blue using BM 225
1 coat Sally Hansen Hard and Wraps Hard as Nails clear
1 coat Dazzle Dry Top Coat

I initially got this idea from going through pictures on the Bundle Monster Facebook  page.  I suggest going through these, because there are so many great ideas out there. Arte con las unas was the one who submitted it.

Dazzle Dry had a sale for Cyber Monday so I went a little crazy, but what's a gal to do when it's 15% off and free shipping and handling?  I've said it before and I'll say it again, "She's supposed to shop!"

For this design I chose Lavender Parade.



Verdict?
There's good and bad.  The good?  This color is lovely and feminine, dries in 6 minutes and was on sale.  The bad?  This may not really be a bad once I get used to the formula, but some of these dry so quickly that the side, side, middle and smooth method of applying nail polish isn't the best with this one.  If you click on the picture you can see that there is a spot on my middle finger that doesn't have any color.  That's because the brush picked it up when I was evening my coat and I didn't realize it until too late.

Normally these colors dry matte and some people like that look, but I love the shine I get with Dazzle Dry top coat.  I got quite a few of these polishes and will be uploading a video about french tip designs that includes some swatches of  my new colors.

I hope you enjoyed this one and there are some Holiday Nail Stamping Tutorials to come.  What are you planning for your holiday manicures?

Wishing you amazing manicures,

Bevy of Nails
