Summer Challenge Day 7: Black
and White
Black and white. The monochromatic classics. I knew I needed to do some
stamping for todays challenge.
I started out with two coats of white crème, namely Models Own “Snow
White”. It probably could have used another coat, but I kept it at two. There’s
no pic of that – everybody know what a white crème polish looks like :D
Then I stamped on it. I used Essence “Black is back!” which isn’t
originally a stamping polish, but it works really well. I used Konad’s stamping
plate M73, the musical design, which I’ve been eyeing since I got the plate.
Then I sealed it all up with a layer of Poshé top coat:
That particular top coat doesn’t usually smudge my stamps, but it did
today, humph! *Puts on annoyed face*
I quite like this. I considered applying a coat of Fairy Dust over it,
but - nah… it’s fine as it is, don’t you think?
You should check out these other Danish girls’ blogs to see what they
came up with for black and white nails:
Stay tuned the day after tomorrow - same bat time, same bat channel - for
metallic nails!
It looks great as it is! I've always been too scared to use this design even though I love it lol.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give it a go, I know it'll look great on you! :)
DeleteNo Fairy Dust it looks great as it is. I love this pattern and you have done really well with the stamping :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I appreciate it!! :)
DeleteI have that stamping plate, I will try it myself because it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It's the first time I use it too, but I've loved it since I bought it!
DeleteThis is so cute! It's very similar to the newspaper design. I also have the image on a stamping plate :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that's right :) I've tried newspaper nails once, but that didn't turn out very well, LOL! Xx
DeleteReally great design, I am in love with musical designs :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're so pretty, aren't they! I love them too :)
DeleteGreat stamping, and I think it would be a pity to add Fairy Dust to it - as you it's fine as is...
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, and I also ended up leaving it like it looks on the pics :)
DeletePerfect design for black & white mani! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think so too :)
DeleteI love black and white manis and I love manuscript! This is stunning!
ReplyDeleteNow I like it even more! :)
DeleteI love this mani! The music notes design is perfect for the white background. Very classy and cute! :-)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Thank you! :) At some point I might try out this design with other colour combinations as well.
DeleteIt's more than fine as it is---it's perfect! So delicate and detailed. Just wonderful! ^^
ReplyDeleteAwwh, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! :)
DeleteThese are so cute!! I absolutely love this!! ^.^
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy when I succeed with a mani, yay! :)
DeleteFEDT stamp!! Jeg er ret stor fan af noder osv. stamps, det ser ret sejt ud :-P Og nej, en glimmer topcoat ville være for meget synes jeg, og være ret overflødigt :-)
ReplyDeleteJa, du har nok ret. Det er bare nogen gange lidt svært at holde sig fra glimmerlakkerne :D
DeleteThese look really great :]
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was weird to see my nails in only white to begin with :D
DeleteÅrrh, hvor er de dog flotte!
ReplyDeleteTak :) Jeg var også selv glad for dem.
