Today’s post will be fairly short. I did some nail stamping and I really wasn’t sure what I wanted. I brought out my stamping plates and what I intended to do just wasn’t working (the image wouldn’t pick up completely) so I switched it up… and this is what I came up with.
For this I used OPI Don’t Burst My Bubble as a base (3 coats) and then I stamped over it with Too Fancy Lacquer Blue Willow. I actually like how it came out, but I feel like it needs more. I didn’t add more… because I was then scared it would be too much and ruin the whole thing.
For the stamping design I used the BM-316 plate.
Here it is under a stronger light source to actually show the tiny holo flower design I stamped on.

I’m still working on stamping and I’m definitely getting the hang of it a bit more! Maybe now I can actually start using the 50 some odd plates I’ve purchased over the last 2 years!

I love the design you created! Holos are my favorite. :)
I think it looks beautiful. Loved the design & the two shades, especially the holo blue.
I love the stamping over the nude polish! And I want al the holos!
This looks so sweet and cute! Loving it!
Sometimes, subtle is best! It’s a very soft, pretty look – though it looks more like snowflakes to me than flowers! I still like it a lot.
Yeah the detail is small so it’s hard to tell they are flowers! Thank you!
Such a gorgeous mani!

I love it in the sunshine!
What a clever idea! Love the design.
I love how subtle this looks.
I love how the design worked out. With that base being a dainty, sheer-ish nude, I think it was an excellent choice to stamp with a delicate stamp and polish, especially one that was not in-your-face. That holo was an inspired choice! I love how you decided to put the stamping on the tips of your nails, with a part of the design going up the side. Thank you for the lovely photos!
