Fishnet Fingernails Nail (fail?) Art !

Herroh!

Today I have kind of a fail nail art.... I'm still new to stamping and I haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet. However I am going to go ahead and post my fails as well as my triumphs on this nail art adventure!

I originally wanted to make my nails look like lace, but they ended up looking more like fishnet tights. I started with Color Club Nomadic in Nude. I had it on yesterday but neutrals aren't really my thing so I had to add something to it. So I stamped on the full nail design image from Konad plate M57 with the criss cross lines. This is where I had the trouble. I still need practice stamping with full nail designs. Then I waited until that dried and did the roses from B42 (I think the plates are made by Nailtrixx, I got a package of them from the "As seen on TV store").

These kind of look more like ripped fishnets (Hollaaaaa Ke$ha) because of my user error... Hahah but i think overall the concept is really cool and after some more practice I might try to recreate this look again.

Oh hay!! They look pretty good from far away!! Just.. not so much up close.

Anyway, have a great day :)

May the 4th be with you! - My first try at stamping!

May the 4th be with you!!

Doesn't that just roll off your tongue? Now that I have established that I am a huge nerd, here is my very first try at stamping. I see all these BEAUTIFUL nail designs all over the interwebs and I just get insanely jealous of their stamping abilities but I could NEVER find the courage to give it a try!

Well, I was at the mall at the "As Seen On TV" store where I usually gawk over the magic bullets and snuggies, and suddenly I see THREE different stamping kits up for grabs! I bought a pack of about 20 Salon Express plates for 20 dollars, the stamper/scraper/holder, as well as a few different Konad plates because I wanted to make sure I had some that would fit my WHOLE nail for the full nail designs.

Now, I know this isn't the best stamping job in the world, but it is my first try, and I am pretty proud of it!

Clearly I messed up my index finger with a little bit of smudging hehe but that's okay!

I can't wait to try more of this :)
