Time Period Challenge: 1950's

I originally was going to just leave this as a monochrome half moon, however I thought it was nice with some rhinestones. If you want to see my original creation then you can do so here.

Stamping Plate: QA52

This stamping plate is pretty much Psy of Gangnam Style and Korean pop sensation. I thought it made for a comical bit of stamping personally.

Base Polish: Barry M - Matt White
Glitter Polish: Kleancolor - Kiss Goodnight 171
Stamping Polish: W7 - Black
Stamping Plate: QA52 and Cheeky 031

The stamping plate itself came with a protective peel off sticker on both sides of the plate.

 

The images stamped relatively well, and even on the deeper images you don't need to use any difficult techniques. As you can see below the images stamped well, the only concern I have is with the whole body Psy, and Psy with arms crossed his face seems to look odd.

Nails: Textured Stamping

I've seen stamping on textured polishes everywhere and I was skeptical. Was it was as easy as stamping on non-textured polishes? Quick answer; yes! Bit of the stamped image stuck up but that was easily remedied with a dabbing with a finger.

What I would say is make sure the stamping polish will show up over the base, I did try with a blue metallic but it didn't work because it would need a topcoat to make it pop but when stamping like this you don't use a topcoat.
