I must admit, this turned out much better than I expected!
Here is the look pre-hearts:
Lately, I've been trying to master layered-stamping. I've learned that the best way to achieve this is to have a subtle background stamp and then a dominant (in this case, a white stamp) design which steals the spotlight.
Base: OPI Kinky In Helsinki
Background: Konad M60 in Psyche Hot Pink
Heart: Konad M59 in White
If you have seen image plate M59 then you know the heart design has a stupid star in the corner of the big heart. Why would they do that!? Hearts and stars don't go together! I applied the rhinestones to cover up the star. I really love the addition of the gem. Now my nails sparkle and feel so glamorous... yes, even in a sweatshirt:
Look how cute they are!
This is another photo in different lighting:
You guys should try this! It's so fun and very Valentine-y! By the way, I don't even like Valentine's Day... I just like pink and hearts :) Have a nice day!!
This is so adorable! Thank you for the tip on layering stamp designs. And THANK YOU for saying hearts and stars don't go together, here I thought I was the only person who thought that.
ReplyDeleteI adore this manicure!!! =DDD Thanks for the ideas!!! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks you two! I'm having more fun with Valentine's Day manicures than I did with Christmas! Maybe because they are more girly?...

ReplyDeleteOmg, that is so cute. Question: Have you ever tried opi matte alpine snow for stamping? I was wondering if it'd be as good as the konad white.
ReplyDeleteOoo, that is so cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute! :D

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments!
ReplyDeletePerryPie- I've never tried stamping with anything other than Konad special polish... I'm considering giving it a try though because I am tired of having to use the Konad topcoat. It is yellowish, gives me lots of bubbles, and gets thick and useless before the bottle is even half empty! :(
Thanks for the reply. And let me know what you think if you ever try it. I figure since all the other mattes are so good for stamping, maybe Alpine snow would be too. I don't konad myself, but my best friend does a lot and I'm considering getting her Alpine snow for her birthday. So any feedback would be useful. =)
ReplyDeletePerryPie- I would not get your friend Alpine Snow MATTE... the matte polishes dry waaaaaaaay too fast for the whole Konad stamping process. I think the regular Alpine Snow would work better. That's just my opinion though :)
