Teal Stamping Mani

It's Friday! Y'all already know how I feel about Fridays, so we'll skip that joyful rambling today, LOL. I did have at least one comment requesting a nail art today so that is what we are doing. I decided to go with a simple stamping mani using the Sinful Colors 'Rise and Shine' and the 'Punk Rock' from Sally Hansen.

As always I began with my favorite basecoat, Nutra Nail Strengthener, and then used 2 coats of the Rise and Shine on all my nails. I chose images from 2 different Bundle Monster plates from their 2010 series. These are the revised 2010, by the way and I really love them. I don't have much experience stamping...yet. These were the first plates I got and I've only used them 2 or 3 times, and never for a full image stamp before so I decided to challenge myself a little. I used plates 022 and 001.

I stamped the swirling full nail image from plate 022 with the 'Punk Rock' on all my fingers except my ring finger, which I chose to use as an accent nail. On the ring finger, I used the Konad special white stamping polish and plate 001 for a small, leaf like pattern. I also added a small triangular matte black rhinestone which I got from Born Pretty Store.

It's not perfect, but I think it is an improvement on my previous stamping! The bottom two photos I used the flash to really show off the color contrast.

So, what do y'all think? I hope you enjoyed this simple mani and I'll see you on Monday! Have a fabulous weekend!
