So first picture with my nail stamping items. I painted my nails wet black then used the gold polish from Konad with plate BM-301 from Bundlemonster.com
It turned out pretty good, but every time someone saw them they thought it was supposed to be some type of picture instead of the plain sponge-like texture it is.

This morning, I tried out some new color combinations. I did a sunrise yellow, hot pink and a turquoise green, using the sponge technique. Then, using black with plate BM-322 from Bundlemonster.com, the top print. At first I was going to just do my tips, for a new twist on the french manicure. After some thought though, I chose this style. Turned out pretty good I think :)
Let me know what you think!

My First Experiences with the stamper....

Well, today is Thursday, December 27th, 2012. 
I have recently acquired a nail art stamping kit, with four stamp polishes and dozens of templates to use. I was very excited about my new conquest and have already done my nails with them twice. 
From now on, I will try something new once a week, post follow up pictures, and give my opinions of which things I like and do not like about each thing.
So far, my only concern is that some polishes do not work well to being transferred from the plate to the stamper sponge. I am not sure if it's thickness, color and what.
 I will have to try new techniques.
