Hello!
So I got out my supplies popped in Breaking Bad Season 5 and started on my 4th of July nails.
I still am not really good at this but having this blog is making my try and try again! (I use the Hallmark Crown Rewards card to scrape the plate by the way - I'm not super into greeting cards or something). I also had a bottle of polish remover near by!
My biggest "challenge" was painting the star plate 3 colors and then stamping 2 of my fingers. You can see the 3 colors in the background, and the residue from swiping the plate on the paper towel.
And here's how it turned out. The colors didn't stamp quite as clearly as I would have liked - but it worked!
And here's the rest of my hand I did a star on my pointer finger, and eventually added glitter to the light blue nails.
And here's the final result! I of course can see a multitude of imperfections. But from a distance they look good!

Hello!
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!
