I wanted to spice up my gradient from yesterday, so I decided to add some silver stamping!
I used Cheeky Jumbo plate #3 and a silver Depend polish.
For some readon the lines of this stamp curved... No matter how I tried to line it up, when I stamped the image the lines were curved. I have no idea why! On my thumb however, they look perfect!
I'm usually most happy with my thumb, lol, I don't know why, maybe because I usually start doing my thumb and am most careful with it? I really live the way the stamp came out on my thumb, only too bad it's a bit too long for the stamp to cover completely...
Does anyone have any ideas or tips as to why the lines are curved on all my other nails and how to avoid it?
It's really gorgeous! I love the gradient that you've used as a base for the stamping!
ReplyDeleteThe stamping curved because your tips are more curved than where your nails grow... Is that making sense? So when you roll with the stamper you use more design on your tips... You should try stamping from the centre of your nail and without rolling. If you have the squishy stamper would be perfect for this kind of geometric design. I hope I helped.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense! I do have the squishy stamper, and will defenitely try "pushing" the stamp on next time :)
DeleteI am not so great at stamping, so I am afraid I don't have any good tips... But I hink this design is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute result! This stamping is really appropriate :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the nails/design! I was having the same issue and learned about the "squishy" stamper too. Just tried it out yesterday - much better!! Also, if you get one and it is the kind where the squishy stamper end comes out, I saw on a blog (ugh, can't remember the name at moment) to fill the inside of the stamper base with cotton balls and it helps hold the squishy stamper from falling out. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip! I have tried using the squishy stamper a few times now, and I think I'm getting the hang of it :)
