ENAS Nail Stylists Stamps

First up, here's a picture of the process of how the stamp works.


1. Put some polish on the stamp. The kits I bought came with three colours each, but you can use pretty much any polish.
2. You don't actually need to put that much polish on, just enough to cover lightly will do.
3. To get rid of excess polish stamp it on some paper.
4. Once the excess is gone you're ready to stamp or do some clean up/remove some details you don't want to stamp with an orange stick/tooth pick.
5. Voila, stamped.


Here's the first manicure I did late Monday night. Messy and bubbly. Sponged on Cosline 207 (dark coral), 212 (peachy orange) and 211 (pastel yellow). Then I used American Apparel - Poppy for the butterflies and the flowers. The stems of the flowers is a green from NeedMe, no number on it. Rubber stamp A23 was used.

Next up, current nails.


Paw prints and bear face. Cosline 705 as the base colour stamped with two NeedMe polishes, one dark brown and one beige brown. Rubber stamp A15. This was a little difficult to do 'cause I had a hard time with the placement of the individual small paws. I also had a problem with using the right pressure to stamp, so it'd get all smudged and I had to start all over or parts of the stamp didn't transfer. Still learning.

Cosline polishes - Three coaters, but they dry rather quickly.
ENAS Nail Stylist stamps - Okay, but I think I prefer using plates more. Storage is easier for plates too. I'll continue using them, not sure if I would buy more, but who knows.

Bows Dots Stripes

The original design (top right corner) is from the Nail Up!: National Nail Order Book 2011 that I downloaded from tokyo_jam. Changed the colours a bit and used fimo bows. This took a while to do and I really thought about giving up on it 'cause I really wasn't liking how it was turning out. But I kept at it and put some glitter on. Quite like it now, looks like a bunch of ribbons going across my nails. Two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme-wear White On. For the stripes I used Etude House LUCIDarling polishes in colours I'm not too sure of 05 and 06, the names are probably something like shimmery mint and shimmery hot pink. LA Colors Art Deco polish in silver glitter for the glittery stripes.

Fig Fimos

I received a bunch of fimo canes for Christmas so I did a manicure using a few of them. They're okay to use. The flower is kinda ripped in the above picture, but they stayed on fairly well until I went to remove them. joe - fig as the base colour and a frankened glitter over top. Don't think I'll be using fimos often, most aren't really designs that I like. I think they would be more useful for decoden stuff. Maybe use 'em to decorate a compact or a mirror or something else small.
