This is the first time I've taken part in
Adventures in Stamping's Sunday challenge, which this week was to stamp over an orange base. I only have one orange polish in my entire collection, which is Sally Hansen's Sun Kissed Hard as Nails Xtremewear. I was going through my Bundle Monster plates and came across tiger stripes, so I thought that would be perfect over an orange base (although perhaps not particularly original!) It's from BM16 (yet again!)... I used Konad Special Black polish for stamping and topped it all with Butter London PD Quick (I am
never using Seche Vite again).
I have to admit that I had to repaint the orange base about 4 times on my left hand because I kept screwing up the stamping. The Sally Hansen polish is quite thick and dries pretty slowly - this was three coats to get proper popping opacity... which is why it has taken me most of the afternoon to get it finished! (Thanks to Grey's Anatomy I was kept entertained).
What have you been stamping recently? Have you got any foolproof tips for successful stamping?!
These look fab! That is just the perfect orange for tiger-print x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, I was pretty pleased when I discovered it in my box!
DeleteThe result was was worth the repainting. They came out super cute.
