Dripping Icicles Nail Stamping Tutorial

When I saw the dripping icicles image on the Creative Shop plates I knew I HAD to use it in a mani.





I started off with Femme Fatale Crystal Droplets, a Beautometry.com store exclusive polish on all nails. I then sponged on Powder Perfect Lagoon to the tips of my nails after applying Moyra Liquid Tape. The Moyra Liquid Tape helps for easier cleanup on the cuticles when sponging nail art or stamping. I finished over the gradient using Powder Perfect Lightning Lady as a top coat

Then, I stamping with the Creative Shop stamper and Hit the Bottle As Black As Night stamping polish the dripping icicles image from Creative Shop plate 37. After removing the Moyra Liquid Nail Tape, I topped everything off again with the Powder Perfect Lightning Lady top coat.

What do you think? Is it chilly where you are?

Femme Fatale Isle of Cythera Captain America Manicure

Another Femme Fatale polish in the Birth of Venus Collection is Isle of Cythera. Isle of Cythera is also a holographic polish! I knew I had to use that one in something fun and when I saw the star in the circle in Messy Mansion MM15 I knew it would make a great manicure.

I first polished all nails with Femme Fatale Isle of Cythera and then painted the accent nail with Esmaltes da Kelly Hipapa. I stamped the star in the circle image from MM15 with the Creative Shop Galaxy Stamper using Isle of Cythera.

Then top coated everything with Seche Vive top coat. It is the newest Seche product and is a top coat that is gel-like but dries on its own. I find that it has the same glassy goodness of Seche Vite but you don't need to float the top coat in order to avoid smearing the stamping.

Have you used Seche Vive yet? What's your favorite top coat for stamping?

Holographic ZigZag with Femme Fatale Arrival of Venus and Creative Shop Plate 9

As soon as I saw that Femme Fatale Arrival of Venus was a holographic polish I knew I had to get it on my nails. Of course it's a stunner. It reminds me of a citrine stone with it's brilliant orange color and pretty rainbow holo flash.

I wanted to try stamping with it as well so I did an accent nail with Kleancolor Pastel Orange and stamped with the Creative Shop 9 Stamping Plate. These Creative Shop plates are absolutely amazing if you haven't tried any yet! They are very detailed and you can see in the image that it stamped wonderfully even with the intricate lines. I used the MoYou London NEW Rectangular sticky stamper for the stamping.

Have you tried Creative Shop stamping plates yet? What did you think?

P is for Pale: Flourishes

Today for the A2Z Challenge, we have P is for Pale. I took it to mean a pale color base and something not as bright or busy as well.

I started with Kleancolor Frapuccino as a base on all nails and then used my Creative Shop Stamper set to stamp the flourish design from Cheeky Jumbo Plate 7 Home Sweet Home onto my nails with Kleancolor Metallic Mango.

This was a nice palate cleanser for me since my nails have been so bright and filled with designs lately. I also had a chance to use the Creative Shop stamper set again. I REALLY love how large this is. My nails are growing out and it will be such a pleasure to be able to get them in one stamp instead of trying to match up a double stamped design.

Do you have the new Creative Shop stamper +scraper set? What do you think of it?
