Models Own Nude Beige & Stamping

This manicure really didn't turn out how I wanted it to, originally I was trying for a nice subtle floral effect for a night out but after I'd finished my nails reminded me more of an episode of Dexter or a murder scene.

The light flowery stamp really didn't take well to being stamped over the nude base and ended up looking more like blood spatter than the delicate ladylike manicure I had imagined!

My stamping technique was also clearly a little off that day too as the only finger which has worked well in my index finger, the rest are not stamped clearly at all which I think adds even more to the murder scene look.

I definitely want to give this stamp another go so hopefully I'll be back soon with a slightly more impressive attempt.  I used a red Sally Hansen Insta Dri to stamp which worked pretty well so if I take nothing else from this manicure at least I now know I have a decent opaque red to stamp with! ;)
