At the risk of looking like a one trick pony I have yet another neon mani for you lovely readers. I've totally gone off my posting schedule so if you're waiting to see swatches of W7 Salt n Pepper or Lava Flow I apologise but I'm on a mini roll with the stamping!

| Base: Barry M - Peach Melba. Stamping: White Konad Special polish as base then CC - Edie, Almost Famous and Wham! Pow! Pixi - Summer Pink |

To get the neons to stamp I used the technique outlined in my previous post but instead of one colour I put blobs of the colours I wanted to use in a line and then scraped over the white. Does that make sense? I'm not particularly good at explaining things so if anyone wants a step-by-step tutorial give us a shout.
What do ya think? I think it's up there in my top 3 stamped mani but I wish I had a proper neon yellow instead of yellow.
(And finally I just wanted to know from ladies in Italy what brands/polishes I should look out for and what shops I should check out when I visit?)
absolutely beautiful!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect !!!
ReplyDeleteif you're going to italy get as much kiko nail polish as you can! i went on holiday to portugal and picked up two nail polishes - wish i got more though. kiko is an italian brand so it'll definitely be stocked there

I love Peach Melba from Barry M - looks gorgeous as a base for this tribal neon stamped mani. Your stamping skills are perfect as always. I must try out the great tip of scraping white before the neon to get them to show up more on the nail. Lovely xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous. I don't know if you've noticed Kiko has a ridiculous sale at the moment, £1.50 a colour, it's really nice stuff too.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!
ReplyDeletethis is super nice!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! You make me want to order more stamping plates!
ReplyDeleteI have to try stamping neons with your technique.
(italian lady? Present! I recommend to stop by Kiko: there are nice nail polishes with a ton of shades and as the_nail_file said, at the moment there's a special offer on nail polishes as well as on eyeshadows. Pupa nail polishes are nice too and you can find them at Douglas or at some Sephoras - nice shades and formula but the bottles are quite small though (about 3-4£ for 5ml). Which region/city are you going to visit?)
