Before & After: Spellbound Nails Late Bloomer + UberChic Beauty 6-03 (or, soft sammich)

(Press sample)

Hello!

I love a good stamping sandwich, and the recent spring collection from Spellbound Nails just calls out for them!

For this one I started with Spellbound Nails Late Bloomer, a soft orange jelly with gold flecklets:

As I put on layers of luscious squishy jelly, I stamped with the dandelion-like images from UberChic Beauty 6-03 with Barry M Cotton:

I alternated the images so that the smallest were on the index and pinky, and were under the most layers of polish; I put the biggest flower on my ring and thumb on the very top of the polish, and the middle-sized flower under one coat of polish on my middle finger. Here's how it turned out:

And check this out! Late Bloomer is a glow-in-the-dark polish--look at how this mani looked in the dark:

How cool is that?!?!?!

I love this mani--there's something so wispy and feminine about it. What about you, are you a fan of stamping sammiches?

Happy stamping,
M.

  1. So soft and Spring-like! Beautiful. So a 'sandwich' is like a pond mani? I love those!

    1. Thank you so much! People were calling them stamping sandwiches before pond manis, except that I think some people use 'pond mani' for just dots between the layers. In short--I have no real clue, lol!
