Space Stamping

 So while I have the Purr-fect Plum on I thought I would try out some of my newer Cheeky plates. 

I haven't actually used stamping a lot recently as Ive been doing other things but i do love a good stamping :D

Here i have used a Space theme using Cheeky plate CH 46 from the summer 2012 collection. I purchased these on +Amazon.co.uk 

I used Barry M Foil Effects in Silver for the stamping.

Suzi Loves Cowboys

 

Just a simple one today. O.P.I Suzi Loves Cowboys. I couldn't resist adding little cowboys using a Cheeky stamp!

 

3x coats of OPI and stamping plate CH34. No topcoat.

I did fine the first two coats streaky but the third sorted it out.

I love taupe type shades and i really do like this colour and the bit of stamping just adds a little extra.

City Siren With Star Stamping

 

China Glaze's City Siren x 2 and NYC French Tip White

 

 

Beautiful starry design using a Cheeky stamping plate, purchased from Amazon.co.uk

Cheeky plate, like bundle monster, are a cheaper version of Konad. The quality of the plates are pretty much the same and they have some beautiful designs.

I choose cheeky and bundle monster over konad any day.

 

 

I think the feature nails look great in this design, but i think i would have prefured white stars on all the nails, not just the thumb.

I love China Glaze, Of course :p, and this colour is a lovely shade.

Plum And Leopard Stamping

 

 

2x Coats Of Plum By Kleancolor. Bundle Monster stamping Plate 221 and NYC white to do the leopard print. 

 

Please bare in mind that the NYC polish is very old and thick that's why it is so good for stamping, so don't chuck away your thick old nail polish! It'll come in very handy for stamping

 

As I've mentioned before, i love nail stamping and I love Bundle Monsters Plates. They work just as well as Konad but at lower cost.

I also used to use stamping alot when i was doing other peoples nails and it really is a crowd pleaser and people always comment on my nails when i have stamping on.

 

i prefer to just have stamping on the ring fingers on maybe the thumb too but this design would look just as lovely on all fingers.

 

Feature nails, as i call them, are very fashionable and if you look at celebrity nails you will find lots of people with just the ring finger "accessorised." Making this style suitable for both work and play as its not too "in your face"

 

This Kleancolor polish is very thin and didn't cover very well.Patchy and Streaky :( If using this colour again i would do 3 coats.

 

Ive been finding the Kleancolor with lumos bottom and base coat has not been lasting long at all on me. I think its my fault as i think i put the kleancolor on too thick. I have never had a problem of polish lasting on me when i use China Glaze and Lumos. China Glaze is a much better polish obviously, but it still doesn't really bother me as i don't tend to wear polish for more than a day :P

Ravishing dahling with added moons :)

 2x coats of ravishing Dahling by China Glaze with 1x glitter from Kleancolor Pinky Moon

 

Lumos top and base coats

Pinky moon has lovely holographic dots,lines and moons.

Picked the moons out using a cocktail stick to avoid too much polish on the nail.

think the glitter could of benefited from another coat as the glitter is quite sparse.

I fine that this China Glaze polish can be quite patchy, so could benifit from more coats if wearing alone.

 

The painting of my nails looks quite messy here and i always find that of darker red colours.Any mistakes are harder to rectify as it sort of smudges it

 

Mocha With Stamping, Yummy!

 Kleancolor Mocha With Cheeky Stamped Hearts

I know im using a lot of kleancolor polishes but i just bought a load and really want to try them all out :P

This is mocha 2 coats and i stamped a heart design using a Cheeky Plate and NYC White Polish (which i left open to go thicker for a few hours) topped off with lumos

I love nail stamping and believe me youll be seeing alot more stamping on this blog lol.

Cheeky Plates can be bought on Amazon for a fraction of the price of konad and they work so well. They have so many designs too.
