I wasn't satisfied with just the blue, but I didn't want to remove it and completely start again. Then I remembered hearing/reading somewhere that the new Essie Metallics are great for stamping. I had just picked up 'Penny Talk' that day, so I decided to give it a try. And WHAM. Seriously gorgeous!
I used the BM-215 stamp, and was thrilled with the outcome. You can purchase the Bundle Monster (BM) set on Amazon here for $21.99. Make sure you buy the 25 piece sets, they're a wider stamp. I of course bought the original set before knowing this and was disappointed when the stamps weren't big enough to cover my nail bed. I don't think I necessarily have large nail beds, but they were only covering like 75%.
To achieve this manicure I applied 2 coats of Revlon 'Blue Slate,' and stamped Essie 'Penny Talk' with Bundle Monster BM-215 plate.
What do you think?
So gorgeous! I love this mani and I have been eyeing the nail stamper kits for some time now. I think its about time I splurge and get one.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I've been looking for Penny Talk for weeks. I LOVE it! Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cool!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so good! I haven't had much luck with stamping. Maybe I should try those Essie polishes. Not sure if it's the polishes I'm using or my technique. lol.
ReplyDeleteyour manicures always look so great! I don't think I would ever have the patience to do that!

I've never seen these stamping kits before! I love it. Think I'll add that to the birthday wishlist!
ReplyDeleteUm, I'm having a hard time functioning because I thought your first pic was from Pinterest and then I saw that you actually did it yourself! *brain explodes* Love. Lovelovelovelove.
ReplyDeletethis looks SO cool! i love it!
ReplyDeleteOK, confession: I still don't understand how stamping works. Embarrassing, I know. I see all these amazing manicures and I'm always jealous that now I'm going to go have to youtube it or something so I can buy some of my own. Any tips/suggestions?

ReplyDeleteWow. I love the idea of stamping but don't know anything about how to do it. That looks amazing though!
ReplyDeleteI've been debating whether or not to invest in the Bundle Monster. Lately I have seen so many awesome designs with it. And they are so much cheaper than Konad plates!
ReplyDeleteOMG love this!!!! I just wanted to say hello but really love you blog and you now have a new follower!
ReplyDeleteWOW they look amazing!! I just got a stamper kit for my birthday so I'm hoping it has something like this :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
