Tag: reverse nail stamping
A nail art technique where a stamping image is picked up from the stamping plate and then filled in with more nail polish before stamping it on the nail.
I typically make mine into a decal before I start adding additional colors by painting on a coat of clear polish (not quick-drying). As long as you let it dry properly, it helps keep the lines from getting distorted or plucked off the stamper if you paint too “hard”. I use this technique a lot.
Super Bunny City
I’ve had a semi-idea for this nail art on my to-do list for a while ever since I realized I had one stamping plate with a bunny that looks like a flying superhero and another with a bunny-ish monster that looks like a supervillain. My chance to use these two Read More
Witch of Solar Systems
It has been a distracting week and while I had lots of plans for cool nail art, painting didn’t really happen. But at least I have this cool planet-themed nail art that let me continue my Witches of S series. I’d say this witch is the most powerful one yet, Read More
Sunflower Garden
I’d intended to paint more mermaid nail art this weekend, but relaxation got in the way. 🤣 Instead, the first thing I managed to paint this week is sunflowers. I feel like I’m already channeling fall with this sunflower nail art, but the time for sharing it is now. It Read More
Bee Mosaic
It’s still spring even if it doesn’t feel like it some days. And with the blooming of the flowers comes the buzzing of the bees and the need to paint bee nail art. Naturally, I had to once again dodge the typical yellow and black color scheme in favor of Read More
Cats Conquer Space 2.0
A title so good we had to use it twice. 😂 I’m not sure why, but it definitely feels like there are a lot more cat stamping plates out there than dogs. I had an abundance of images to choose from for my cat astronaut nail art, but if I Read More
Oceanic Watermelon Picnic
It’s Mermay and the nail art community seems to largely be ignoring it as I haven’t seen a single mermaid in any of the challenges I looked at. That’s okay. I’ll find way to include mermaids in my nail art anyway. For instance, today’s prompt was for Fruit and I Read More
Fairies and Centipedes
Whyyyy do I always post my @halloweenforevercollab nail art so long after the collage is out? April’s theme was dark fairies, which is actually kind of hard to do because all the fairy stamping plates are full of cute and sweet little fairies so people had to get creative. I Read More
The Mandalorian
Happy May the 4th (be with you)! Star Wars fan everywhere are hopefully finding something geeky to do. Naturally, I painted my nails. It’s been several years since my last Star Wars mani and I decided to go both more complex and focus on more recent releases such as The Read More
Zombie Days
What is it like to be a zombie? I really like to get in their (fictional) heads and find out. Like…are they in a kind of fugue state until something triggers them into eat mode? Is there an end game? Most zombie-related entertainment seems to focus on the pure monster Read More
