Stamping Saturday: Sinful Color In the Mist with Vivid Lacquer plate 004

I've been neglecting this for a couple of weeks, but here it is again: my stamping adventure continue. The most excellent part of this is that besides doing some stamping I'm using mostly untrieds for base colour. And this one is no exception.

Sinful Color In the Mist has been sitting in my Helmer for quite some time now and I thought I'd use it as base for the knitting stamp on the VL plate 004.

I really like how this turned out:

Pardon the rough cuticles, totally forgot to moisturise before I took the pictures...

I find stamping is very gratifying now that I master have found a way that works for me.

Stamping Saturday...on Sundays...

So another stamping mani has found it's delayed way to the blog.

Hope you like it, I definitely enjoy this stamping thing.

Rescue Beauty Lounge stamped with a lilac and light green Konad stamping polish.

 Dashica plate XL SdP 58.

...and a top coat that decided to drag the stamp on my index finger ;)

See you later today - I have an untried polish to show you.

Stamping Saturday

I think this is going quite well, the fact that I'm able to keep up with this on a VERY regular basis is something that I am quite thrilled about.

Today I have a marvellous new Dior colour called Lilac Colorvision. This is supposed to be a Sephora exclusive and is a re-release of this Japan exclusive. I don't know if Lilac Colorvision will be in the European Sephoras but I am lucky to have some wonderful American polish friends who will shop for me when need be ;)

 

 I have a lovely mint green konad stamping polish that the lovely Karine gave me as part of a birthday gift, that I just knew would look awesome on top of this gorgeous lilac polish. The stamping plate is, again, a Vivid Lacquer plate. These awesome skulls are on the VL plate 001.

Pardon my terribly wrecked cuticles, I totally forgot to moisturise them before I took these pics, that is how excited I was with this mani :D
 

 

 I have tons of fun with this stamping experience, I can highly recommend it :D

Stamping Saturday

So next up for Stamping day are Dragons!!! I love dragons and they are awesome creatures. I am a RolePlaying Gamer and one of my characters is a teenage wizard - an 18 year old girl who's mentally connected to a thousands-of-years-old dragon. Even got a custom made tote bag from Haut Totes with two Myka Jelina designs. A fairy that was so close visually to how I saw Aevilja and a marvellous dragon. How could I not get a custom bag made out of those images?

So when I was purchasing some new stamping plates from new-to-me Messy Mansion and saw this plate, I just had to have it.

So which colours to use? One of my nail polish friends was in that awesome RAOK I mentioned here and she sent me a long wanted China Glaze, Flying Dragon. Awesomeness in a bottle!!! Thank you Ana!! So this was a no brainer for base. And what to use to stamp with other than a-england Dragon and St. George. I still need to practice more, but I think these turned out nice.

These are taken in my bathroom under artificial light - so pardon the orangy fingers, and concentrate on the holo magnificense instead ;)

Here comes St. George to slay the dragon:

Look at that beautiful blue and pink shimmer in Flying Dragon!!!! And the dragon stamp is just mindblowingly awesome:

 

This is taken in my light box and shows the base colours of St. George and Dragon - but the holo effect got lost:

Indirect sunlight - and a GINORMOUS chip I hadn't seen until I cropped the picture, but I just love the way Flying Dragon looks here:

 If you don't own Flying Dragon, you need to get it. It is just amazing. And if you stamp you better go buy some from Messy Mansion, her plates are to die for.

Stamping Saturday...on sunday.

And then it became sunday here in Denmark before this got up :D

I've had this polish combination flowing around in my head for quite some time and during my Easter break in Sweden there was finally a sunny day for the first time in like forever for me and luckily I brought both polishes.

This combo is China Glaze Purr-fect Plum with Color Club Cloud Nine and the plate is Dashica XL SdP 32.

I am really enjoying this stamping thing so I'm considering doing it on a more regular basis which means stamping on random days when I feel like it more than making it a set day for it.
