Stamped Manicure

A few weeks ago I ordered a nail stamping kit. At the time I just shared with you some trial runs. After some more testing and playing I've gotten a real hang for it and I'm loving the outcome! 

My first stamped manicure!

I apologize for the crude photo, complete with unavoidable pen mark. I know I could have done better but it seems I've accidentally erased the good photos and have since taken this off my fingers. 


What I Used:

Blue: Dare nail polish, no name
Green: Dare nail polish, no name.......(I got both of these colors in a kit of 5 neon colors from Walmart but $7, which I can't seem to find online anywhere)
Grey: NYC In A Minute in Sidewalkers $2, most drugstores
Pink: Sinful Colors in 24/7 $2 at Walgreens and select stores
Yellow: Sinful Colors in Pull Over $2 at Walgreens and select stores
Black: Sinful Colors in Black On Black $2 at Walgreens and select stores.

Pattern created by Bundle Monster stamp plate # 20 

I've since used a few other patterns from the plates and have loved them, as do people out in public. The only problem is picking colors. For me, picking nail polish colors is something I truly agonize over. I know it's ridiculous because it's not permanent but I love ALL the colors! That's why I usually end up with at least 2 colors. 

Since my nails chip often from working with my hands, I change my nail polish a lot. This Bundle Monster kit should keep me busy for a good while. Who knew stamp collecting could be so fun??
