Today I'm here to share my latest nail stamping attempt. It was a struggle but the result was nice. So nice, I immediately took photos of it:
Arabesque nail design
Nail stamping is a huge part of nail art in general, yet I've always been hesitant to do it because of several failed attempts in the past. This one was no exception, I haven't failed a nail design this many times since my latest nail stamping action years ago. I don't own any actual stamping nail polish. Finding the right stamping shade was definitely a problem, and I also had issues with the actual stamp (according to others I own the best stamping tool ever, because it has a very soft silicone side).
I wanted a gray base colour for the design, but I tried several stamping shades. I've heard that metallic shades are great for that purpose, and as you can see it is true. As soon as I had an oh-shit-I-nailed-it moment, I went to take photos of it, so here we are now. Arabesque (or Victorian?) pattern has been my favourite design for years (mainly when seen on clothes), so I'll definitely do more nail stamping with this exact plate (you can find it here).

Are you into nail stamping? I'm looking for nail stamping plates with leaves on them, but the ones I've found are lame. Do you have any recommendation?
