First Manicure Post!

Ever since I discovered nail stamping almost a year ago, I've just completely fallen in love with it. I love what seems to be an endless range of color combinations and designs you can play with on those ten little canvases that are literally right at your fingertips.

To create this look, I started with CND Stickey Base Coat, then applied two coats of Chanel Vendetta (a very dark bluish purple with a subtle fine shimmer) for the background color.

For the stamping polish, I used Essence Silver Stampy Polish on an XL nail plate and chose the full nail design you see in the photo.

I then sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

The design reminds me in some ways of traditional Japanese woodcuts or textiles.
