New to stamping

Wow! They look fab carter0268, I particularly like the sparkly manicure.  

They're gorgeous carter0268! I really love the sparkly. What plates are they?

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I love the sparkly one as well.

star_struck....what purple did you use as the base for yours?

The Models Own neon one - Pukka Purple maybe?

Thank you the sparkly was my favourite too! It is Models Own Southern Lights - just 2 coats on its own! It looked like a holographic foil wrapping paper under the stamp lol. That plate was Cheeky jumbo 'Princess Charming' and the black on nude was another Cheeky jumbo plate 'Happy nails' xx

That looks great - perfect stamping! Looks like you have mastered it now xx

I saw some vids on youtube earlier that show you how to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] a stamp to fit your nail.

I'll be giving this a try, I've got some lovely stamps that are too small for my nails. As always, I'm in awe of the creativity of some people. This would never had crossed my mind.

That's interesting! I haven't heard of that! Lots of my older stamps are too narrow for my chunky nails lol xx

Pretty new to stamping myself so no doubt there will be a significant amount of trial and error.
The Barry M Foil effects have stood pretty well for stamping so far as have some of the darker shades in their Gelly range.
One good cheap white I have found is Sinful Colours. It was the bargain proce of £1.99 from my local boots. Some of their colours seem a bit runny so what shades are any good may be a bit hit and miss (their black is RUBBISH) but the white is pretty good and has stamped pretty well for me even over black polish. I'll try dig some pictures out later.

Plate wise I only have 2 proper plates and some cheapy cheapy ones for accent designs from Poundland of all places. Our local poundland currently has some Sally Hansen nail polishes in too so I may have to have a proper rummage. I've already stocked up on acetone from there!

Think I need a visit to Poundland! I am all out of acetone!

Check out the nail polishes whilst you're there. They had Sally Hansen and some Rimmel ones in our local one!
