Double Stamp All the Nails!

Hi everyone! Today Paint All the Nails is doing double stamping! I love double stamping and I'm often inspired by the double stamping looks that Deborah from Love Varnish is famous for doing because they are always so elegant! Today, I decided not to go for a traditional elegant double stamping look, but instead went for a Halloween spin.

For my mani, I started out with a base of China Glaze Lady and the Vamp (which has such a weird name because I'm imagining a vampy red) and then I put Sally Hansen Jack-O-Lantern over it for a little old school glittery goodness. Then I used the MoYou-London Festive plate 16 and Pretty Serious Presence to stamp on the spider webs. Next I stamped on some spiders from the same plate using Konad Black to stamp. It was a very cliche Halloween mani, but I really enjoyed it. I love the depth that double stamping adds to a manicure...you can almost make something that looks like a decal using the technique.

A V-Day Mani? Why Yes, I DID Do ONE!

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! I keep forgetting to share the mani I actually wore on Valentine's Day. I don't know why, but this year I have been uninspired to do Valentine's nail art for the most part. I wanted to wear some hearts on the actual day, so here is what I came up with! It wasn't anything all that spectacular, so I guess that's why I've taken forever to share it!

For my V-Day mani, I started off with a base of OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian, one of my favorite bright pink cremes. Then I decided to do a bit of layered stamping. The heart design is from Bundle Monster H-18 and the white lattice design is from Pueen's Buffet set #71. I first stamped on the lattice design using Konad White and then stamped on the hearts using OPI Coca-Cola Red. As you can see, the red wasn't as opaque as I was hoping for, so you can see a bit of the white through it (but this really wasn't all that noticeable in real life). I dunno, I actually enjoyed these nails in real life and wore them for 2 days. I guess they didn't translate that well in pictures, but they were ok. Definitely not my most inspired holiday work!

Did you all get inspired by Valentine's this year? I've really enjoyed everyone elses manis, but just couldn't come up with anything fun to do for myself! I'm hoping St. Patrick's Day will bring more inspiration since green is my favorite color! Thanks for looking everyone!
