Monsters’ Ball

The ghouls are out and dancing! I had two stamping plates with cute monsters from the SP line so I decided to double stamp randomly from them for this nail art. I did this on my cindy hand with its nails filed down really far because I was tired of one of my nails breaking. (Plus, easier for modeling false nails.) I love the organic un-evenness of the stamping, which I gained by using two different oranges and not cleaning off my scraper as I swapped back and forth between them. Color scheme prompted by #WhenColoursCollide FB group (black, orange, purple) so this is probably no longer on my nails since I’m actually getting it done early into the prompt period.

• Polish Gradient:
  KleanColor’s “Metallic Black” and “Metallic Purple”
• Stamping Polishes:
  Mundo de Unas’ “Neon Orange” and “Orange”
• Stamping Plates:
  SP-015 and SP-016 (thumb and ring finger)

The stamping plates are from Aliexpress and the etchings were kinda shallow, so I wouldn’t call it the best. I know there’s a Born Pretty BP-163 stamping plate that also has little monster sillhouettes like these two and it may have better etchings. I haven’t used mine yet and it’s life that you sometimes get a dud, so partial luck of the draw with better odds with some brands.

And here is the collage with all sorts of lovely black/orange/purple prettiness:
