I've been trying to improve my stamping skills but sometimes, it can be a hit or miss for me. Today's stamping was disappointing because I had a hard time getting the image stamped perfectly.
I used Sephora by OPI It's Hippo to Be Square on all the nails. For the lemonade design, I stamped with BM-308 with Barielle Welcome Ohm. Finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.
As you can see, my stamping is kind of all over the place. I think my pointer nail turned out the best though. What do you think?

Your pointer finger totally is perfect! <3 And I am loving that purple Sephora.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe purple shade is lovely. Sometime it happens, but your stamping skills have really improved :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm just really hard on myself sometimes I guess.
DeleteOh this is so delicate and sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI really like it. I thought they were flowers at first. It's very pretty and different from the usual citrus nail art.
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously one of the cutest stamps I've seen!! Gorgeous shades, too-- that base color... ♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Liesl! :)
DeleteI adore this look, Lisa, and I wouldn't consider it a fail at all. I like the faded look of some of the nails and the more intense look, too. And you chose such pretty shades to compliment each other!

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you say that :)
DeleteI don't think it looks "all over the place" at all! The colours are amazing together, and the stamping looks especially...I don't know if the word "cohesive" is right, but...You know how sometimes stamping looks really obviously stamped, how it's clearly Base Colour A + Stamp Colour B, and that's about all you can say? This pairing looks like it's one whole picture, with the design and the colours all working together. So yeah, I'd be pretty much thrilled if my stamping ever looked this good! (^_^)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! I'm happy to hear you think so :)
DeleteSubtle stamping is really your thing :) I love how easily you can pull it off. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Breena! I love subtle stamping a lot.
Deletei think this is cute Lisa! the stamping on some of the nails looks a bit faded but I feel like it works for this look :) I also really like how you chose to use this image for pink lemonade... I feel like it's different from what most people would probably do with it
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just randomly picked that particular stamping image to use just browsing through my plates too. I'm happy to hear you like the manicure despite it being faded on some parts. I guess I'm just a perfectionist.
