Fantasy Stamping Nail Art

Yay, nail mail day!
I have finally received some, not all, of my stamping plates. I ordered these about 3 weeks ago from Aliexpress.
I don't mind waiting when they are this cheap mind you and the ones I have tried so far stamp perfectly well.

Today I have a nail art featuring plate KD27. I think this might be a cheaper version of a more expensive plate? This plate picked up perfectly fine, I had no problems at all :)

To see what I created please join me after the jump!

Zebra Print Nail Art

 

Here I have again used the mottling technique used in posts HERE and HERE

I think this is one of my most fave techniques as its so easy to do and cant be achieved on both hands easily.

 

I used BarryM's Blueberry Ice Cream as a base then used BarryM's Guava, OPI If You Moust, You Moust for the mottling and Accessorize Damselfly for the glitter.

 

I used a Bundle Monster Stamp for the zebra print but I also painted over it with black polish to make it stand out more.

 

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

 

More Leopard Print!

 Feeling really down in the dumps today and just wasn't in the mood really to do anything at all but I received a new nail art pen set today and I wanted to give it a go. 

The base is OPI If You Moust You Moust and the dots are BarryM Gelly in Guava

I wanted a more rugged type of print but in the picture it just looks messy.

Basically my new pen is an actual dip fountain pen. It came with 5 interchangeable heads and 2 handles. 

It was hard to get used to in the beginning but it seems to produce a nice thin line. 

The pen uses acrylic paint that only works when it has been watered down to the consistency of double cream. 

The only problem I had was that sometimes paint would flood my nail and ruin the whole design! 

(this happened to a design I did after this one, which infuriated me even more ARRRGG) 

I think I need a lot more practise with this and I am not sure its worth all the extra effort. 

 

BarryM Gelly Guava Bubbles

 This is a BarryM Gelly in Guava. A new addition to the Gelly family.

Unfortunately I the photograph doesn't show the colour as i had hoped. 

Its a bit more turquoise in real life. 

I was really disappointed with the consistency of this product. It was quite thick and hard to apply. But the colour is truly beautiful! I am not a fan of a thick polish, it reminds me of a cheap polish. 

Its actually put me off using this polish again which is sad as its so beautiful.

The bubbles are done using OPI If You Moust You Moust and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

O.P.I Marbled with Bow

 Here is my NOTD. A marbled accent nail with a bow, that i actually purchased from Poundland! 

I used Dutch Ya Just Love OPI and If You Moust You Moust. Both by OPI. 

Dutch Ya Just Love OPI is a beautiful purple with a subtle gold glitter. 

Perfect coverage in 2 coats. 

To do the marble all i did was used a dotting tool to mix together a few bigger blobs of polish on my nails. I love simple designs like this as they take no time to do and still look good and alot better than just plain old polish :) 

Glitter, If You Moust!

I'm in love! 

This is OPI's If You Moust You Moust. Taken from the Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection 2012.

2 coats for perfect coverage. Although it was a tad streaky at times. 

A Beautiful Bright but light pink.

 I used Kleancolors 24 Carat for the glitter. Holo gold glitter with holo diamonds. This glitter is one of my fave glitter polishes I own as it really shines!

I used a sponge to apply the glitter to avoid over clogging the nail with excess polish.
