Today I'll be doing a quick run-through of this stamped mani:
For my base coat I used Pure Ice "Bottom Line" ($1.97 @ Walmart).
I then applied Wet 'n' Wild "Black Creme" as my base color ($0.99 @ Walgreens).
The stamping plate I used was Bundle Monster's XL-02 ($3.20 per plate @ Walmart.com). I used the jumbo clear stamper that I got from Born Pretty Store for $2.99.
Then I broke out my Pure Ice "Splash!". Now, I honestly didn't think this would stamp, as it's a very sheer, very shimmery polish. But boy, was I wrong! It stamped like a dream. I would suggest using some kind of protective barrier, though--liquid latex, tape, etc. The shimmer did not want to let go of my skin!
As usual, I topped off the mani with Seche Vite ($2.08 @ head2toebeauty.com).
The overall look is very subtle, but when the light hits that gorgeous blue shimmer... I just heaved a dreamy sigh... it flares to life.
It just goes to show that it never hurts to try anything and everything. Even if you think it's not going to work, it may surprise you and end up becoming a stunning manicure!
