So I always drool over the nail art at Rainysunraynails - seriously check out her blog. It blows my mind. And you have seen me do basic painting and one in awhile I have used stripping tape! I even have a Konad stamper and ONE plate - but I wanted more options. Enter Amazon.com they have so many plates for relatively cheap that I just went with a brand I had heard of and had some cute images - I paid $15.99 for 25 plates - not bad, here's the link Mash plates. It was also free shipping so...
You can't see the designs super well because of the packaging - but I think you get it. I was drawn to this set because it had Astrological signs, and other cool full nail designs. If you check out RainySunRayNails, she has a really good tutorial on how to stamp. Unfortunately, I cut all my nails down to the bit for my camping adventure so, it may be a week or two before I try these. But I was excited to show them!
Here's a few of my favorite plates. Wouldn't the star overlay be perfect for 4th of July?
So are you a stamper? Any tips for me? Any more plates I need? I hear Cheeky is good too!

Whoa I'm looking forward to seeing these prints! I've never tried stamping kits but I saw an Essence one the other day for $4 that I might pick up.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find more Essence here - I really like their stuff!
DeleteI want to order every plate I see on Amazon but I'm barely using the ones I have. Clearly I have a problem. I'd love to see you do a 4th of July nail look.
ReplyDeleteIf I can get my nails grown out - I will definitely be doing one! I want ALL the plates too!
DeleteYour such a sweet heart! Thank you! I have some mash. I like them a lot.Be sure to clean the plate with acetone before use and lightly buff your stamper and clean that with acetone as well before starting. I have a tips and trick video if your interested. I cant wait to see your designs! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and for the tips! I have watched your videos and they are SOOO helpful! I still don't know how you do what you do - but please keep it up, it is amazing to watch!
DeleteI have a couple of Mash plates too, love them. Excited to see the manis that you create with your plates. One tip that I can give you is that you don't have to mash the stamper hard on the plate to pick up the polish, actually the lighter you press it on the plate the better it seems to pick up the design.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I am excited to use them, Now I just need to find a nail plate with a Unicorn on it - MUST HAVE UNICORN!
DeleteAwesome concept! I have never heard of this brand or type of thing. have to try it out!
