This is actually the second time during the A-Z challenge I have done something that was Egypt themed! And I am not complaining, I am a lover of history even if King Tut isn't my strong point. Fun fact: I actually got into Royal Holloway, University of London for History, but decided not to go because while I LOVE history I don't love it enough to want to make it work. But if I ever change my mind I know at least one school will have me :P
Anyways for this I used the Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-05, OPI's Blue My Mind and Sinful Colors Gold Medal. Now I would have LOVED to use one of the full nail designs but alas I can't. And you know what? I don't think it's because of me! I really do think it's my stamper. I have one of those generic double sided stampers and it makes stamping(especially bigger images) super hard. One reason is because the stamper itself doesn't sit in the holder properly so it doesn't pick up, or stamp they way you want it to. Because I love this plate and all the other ones Born Pretty has to offer but when it comes to big designs the current stamper I have is just not doing it for me anymore.
What stamper would you suggest I use?
If you would like this plate go here and get it for only $2.99(USD). And don't forget to use our 10% discount code (EAL91). Because who doesn't like discounts? Also make sure to check out all the other people who did that A-Z challenge and see what they came up with. Oh and the challenge was L for lines. Something I forgot to put at the beginning...
Nice and crisp stamping, I like the manicure and the combination of colours :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the big white squishy stamper. It's round, white and soft on a black handle. It's not the marshmallow soft one, but I got it from Winstonia nail art. It's much easier to use and much softer than my hard Konad stamper.
ReplyDeleteI will check that out! Because this one is hard to use for smaller designs and impossible for larger :(
DeleteThat is soooo gorgeous, I love the crispness and the colors!
ReplyDeletelove this! i think i have this very same stamping plate.
ReplyDeleteOooooo will have a look at that one. I actually bookmarked that stamper a while ago when someone mentioned it on facebook :P
ReplyDeleteoooh i love the hamsa on that plate! The stripes are the perfect addition to the Egyptian stamping :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteYour manis never fail to amaze me!
ReplyDeleteI love this, nay, LOVE THIS!! It deserves all caps. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe UK group buy Facebook group is secret, so you won't be able to find it. And to join it, I think someone will have to invite you. But Rainbow Connection are selling them (pre-buy is on at the moment, or very shortly).
