Stamping with BM20

Hey all you polish lovers! Today I thought I would try some stamping. I got some Bundle Monster plates a few weeks ago, but haven't had the patience to practice.  Because of the crappy, overcast weather today I didn't plan on taking any pictures, but I think my look turned out okay and the sun came out for about 5 minutes and I got a few pictures I thought I might share. 

I used Orly Bonder as a basecoat, then I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen
 Commander in Chic, which is a light taupe opaque polish.   I then used China Glaze White Cap, which I am IN LOVE with and I think everyone should have in their stash if you don't already!

Since I don't have any special Konad polish to use for the stamping I used the most opaque, one-coater polish I thought I had on plate BM20, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Plum LuckThen I topped it off with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry top coat. I think it turned out alright, but still need some practice- I have trouble getting my whole nail covered at one time. So, practice, practice, practice for me!

(fake)Nailed It! Nubar 2010

While I'm preparing to do more swatching I thought I would share this nail that I painted...and, yes it's fake. It's Nailene Full Cover Nails, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done for me right now. I'll probably upgrade once I get a little bit more into all this, when I know more what I'm doing. Right now, I suppose it's just experimenting for now...

 I used, as shown above, one coat of Nubar 2010 on top of one coat of Sally Hansen Plum Luck.  I just loved the way the violet brought out the different colors of the speckles. It's beautiful and I can't wait to use it again on another color. I think I might try some red next. Here are some more examples that aren't very good and don't think anyone will want to steal them ha!
