Quilted Stamping

A quick and simple stamping manicure today.

For my base I used three coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff then stamped the quilted and reverse quilted designs from Bundle Monster plate BM-310 using a-england Tristam.

Tristam

It's been said that shorter nails are great canvasses for darker colors.  I'm not sure I'm ready to agree with that statement but I do think there are colors that look great no matter the length of your nails.  I've fallen in love with another polish, this one is A-England's Tristam.

Tristam is from The Mythicals and is simply divine.  It's like taking the night sky with a million stars sparkling, capturing it, and then bottling it as nail polish.  Seriously.

This polish is a gorgeous deep blue polish with holographic particles scattered throughout.  It applies flawlessly and has excellent coverage.  This is one coat.  One!

I think Tristam is a must have polish.  It's gorgeous, the formula is great, it applies like a dream, and it's one of the most magical polishes I've ever seen.

Argyle Dragon

I love stamping. It's a great way to turn a simple cream polish into something special with the help of a few simple tools. I was in a green mood and used A-England's Dragon to take this cream to the next level.

For my base I used two coats of OPI Stranger Tides then stamped a-england Dragon on top using Konad plate m60.  Dragon is very pretty on its own being a scattered holographic dark green with hints of copper strewn in.  It catches the light and draws attention to the nails.  I've only used Dragon for stamping so far, but I think it deserves to have a full manicure of its own.
