Before & After: Ludurana Fascinante (or, Subtle Sari)

Hello!!

Today's prompt is 'stamping'! As this is where my heart lies when it comes to nail art, the technique I love best, I wanted to do a simple stamping mani that shows how beautiful this technique can be even when it's done in the most fast and simple way. This mani literally took me under 5 minutes, once the base polish was dry, of course. :)

I started with a base of Ludurana Fascinante, a beautiful multichrome that goes through shades of reddish-purple, orange-brown, gold, and even a bit of olive green:

Just...wow.

Then I stamped over it using Konad Gold polish, and Cheeky plate D:







Okay, I know that's a lot of pictures, but how I couldn't help myself. This manicure reminds me of a beautiful sari, and makes me feel like a princess in a Bollywood movie. I love it love it love it love it--and it took next to no time to just stamp.

This is what I love about stamping--you can get beautiful images with incredible detail in no time flat, and precisely replicate them on each nail if you like, or vary them somewhat, as I did here. Even if I had the ability to do this by hand, which I SO don't, it would probably take hours. And anyone can stamp with a little bit of practice and after watching a couple of YouTube videos, lol.

Anyway, thanks for looking and I hope you like it. Please check out the other stamped manis, linked below.

Xoxox,
M.

  1. Love that polish, it looks similar to one from the Sally Hansen Lustre Shine collection that I have. I love the duocolor and the way it changes when the light shifts. Definitely I need to pull my stamps out and play with them after seeing how pretty this is on you.
