It comes in this pink and white flower sleeve
Before we can start stamping, we need to peel the blue protective film off
These images are etched beautifully!!
After I peeled off the blue film, I cleaned the plate with a cotton ball
and some acetone. Then I stamped each image on a piece of paper to see
how they stamped.
All of these images stamped flawlessly with regular nail polish. I didn't have to try more than once to pick up any of the images. This plate is etched perfect!
I decided to do two different designs so I could use several of the images. I made decals for all the images I chose to use, then colored them in (some of the decals were flipped over before I colored them in so the images would face the way I wanted them). I stamped the decals with Mundo de Unas stamping polish in black.
For the first look, I started out with two coats of Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel in Peri-wink-le of an Eye.
Then, I topped this with one coat of a holographic topcoat I made, using Wet n Wild Clear Nail Protector and a couple drops of Treasures by Tan Holo Top Coat. Then seal it in with one coat of Seche Vite. Here is a macro at this point:
Next, I applied the decals I made. I topped them with one coat of Wet n Wild Clear Nail Protector, and once again sealed them in with one more coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:
Here are all the polishes I used for this look:
From left to right:Back row: Acrylic paint in White and Orange
3rd row: Sinful Colors Karma, Yellow Spotted, Kovet, Queen of Beauty, and Kommotion
2nd row: Wet n Wild Peri-wink-le of an Eye, LA Colors Color Craze (came in a neon set, no names), and Face Stockholm Orange Ya' Glad
1st row: China Glaze Celtic Sun and Finger Paints Pink Perspective
I really like how this one turned out. It has so many different colors. It is very summery and fun!
For the second look, I painted all my nails white (using Funky Fingers Gesso) and topped them with Seche Vite. Next, I painted two coats of China Glaze Celtic Sun on all my nails, except my pinkie. For that nail, I sponged on Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty until I was satisfied with the coverage. Then, one more coat of Seche Vite. Here's how it looks so far:
I love China Glaze Celtic Sun. It is much brighter in person. Think of a yellow highlighter! It is THAT color!
Next, I applied my decals and sealed them in with one coat of Wet n Wild Clear Nail Protector. Finally, I finished it off with one last coat of Seche Vite. Here is the final look:
These nails are so bright and fun! I liked them WAY more than I thought I would!Here are the polishes I used in this design:
All the polishes pictured here are also listed above with the names
