Color-Changing Argyle Nail Stamping

Hi all!

This week I have one of my favorite patterns.  It's a classic.  Here's how it came out:

Manicure:
1 coat Perfect Formula Gel Coat
2 coats Dazzle Dry Bleu Rose
Stamped using XL Plate A
1 coat Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Hard as Nails
1 coat Jule Freedom Polymer Top Coat


Here's Bleu Rose from a different angle.

I don't think you can tell from the pictures, but there is a blue flash is is lovely with the black argyle.  This is one of my favorites even though this is one of the colors I find hard to work with due to streaking.

Hope you like this one.

Wishing you amazing manicures,

Neon and Nude Nail Stamping

Hi all!

 This week, I've been a little under the weather, so I figured a little color would do the body good.  This week I have my take on the nude and neon trend that was introduced last year (or was it the year before?).

Here's how it turned out:

Manicure:
1 coat Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment
2 coats Dazzle Dry Sentimental (nude)
Stamped using Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Flashy Fuchsia (neon) and Bundle Monster BM 322
1 coat Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Hard as Nails
1 coat Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat

Tip:
You can see on my ring finger that there is a slight imperfection on my image plate (a portion is more deeply engraved than the rest).  I had to make sure to scrape very carefully to get the complete image.

I started with a very light nude polish as my nail base...

Dazzle Dry Sentimental

I think black and any bright color would stamp amazingly on this foundation.  I find myself buying nail polish for the stamping colors I have that would look great in combination.

Verdict?
This formula was great.  This is two coats, but it's possible to get by with one if you're in a rush.

As for SH Flashy Fuchsia
Verdict?
 It is one of my favorite SH colors.  It is so vibrant, opaque in one color, with a  blue flash that doesn't really translate in the photo.

Wishing you amazing manicures,
