Pigment Stamping

Hello, hello hope you are good. I won't bore you with life waffle lol but instead get right into this post as I've done a few different stamping techniques with this square stamping plate that comes in a bundle from Nicole Diary. 
ND105 has a varied selection of full nail images that are extremely detailed and well etched. So this week I wanted to try a few different stamping techniques and have some fu  with this plate.
First up with the image in the top right corner, I stamped with black and filled in each petal shape with different shades of blue, and a pink dot in the centre. Once the decal had dried, I cut into sections and place on my nails using foil glue. Finished with a matte top coat.
Over an off white base I stamped with flowers, and coloured them in with water colour paints, using different pinks, blues and purples in each flower for a pastel gradient effect.
Then I added some holo top coat to the flowers and over a matte base these flowers looked so pretty.
Finally stamping with pigment powders. Now this is not my idea as I seen multiple videos on YouTube, and really wanted to give it a try. So once my black base was dry, I rubbed some gold chrome pigment over a clear stamper (that I didn't mind ruining) painted and scraped the polish over the image I chose and pushed the stamper down to pick up the image over the gold chrome. Stamped onto my nails and the end result is really quite impressive!
I did use my water based polish to protect the chrome finish, then my regular fast dry top. I will so be trying this again with other pigments.
You can shop Nicole Diary on Amazon.com

I have 1 more plate from thus complete bundle to show you all next week.
Stay safe and much love....

  2. Your patience with creating decals is amazing. I lose patience immediately, but the end result is worth it. I love how your manis turned out.

  3. Wowzers! These are all great! I just got a water based top coat, so I am hoping to create more chrome-y looks.

  4. Those chrome nails are really cool! I’ve done stamping with loose glitter powder, it sounds like the same idea so I think I’ll give this a try!
