Liquid sky lacquer - Jekyll & Hyde

Base:  Liquid sky lacquer - Jekyll & Hyde 

Stamped - nailnation 3000 black

Infinity plate 39 

dashica - big sdp u

1 coat of nailnation 3000's black stamped with love my nails chrome - teal for two.  i may need to try to hunt down some more of this brand's polish for stamping.  it works absolutely perfectly.  i got this bottle for free with my last dashica order.  1 coat of seche over the top with no streaking. 

i still need to work on centering up images that aren't from a huge plate.

dashica big sdp - u and gradient

for this one i used opi - my vampire is buff for my base color.  i then sponged butter london - cheeky chops, china glaze - snap my dragon, and china glaze bizarre blurple.  once dried i stamped with an image from dashica's big sdp - u plate.  excuse the lint from cotton on the plate. 

i'm really happy with the gradient, it's probably the best one i've ever done.  i did dampen the sponge, i hadn't tried that with previous gradients, so that has to be what made the difference.

dashica big sdp-p and color club - cherubic

1 coat of cult nails - nevermore was used as my base color and i used color club cherubic to stamp.  1 coat of seche vite over the whole thing.

the image was from the dashica big sdp-p plate.  i seriously love the images on their plates.

this was my manicure for last work weekend.  it seriously glowed in the sun when i was outside.

dashica big sdp-f and nail nation 3000 carpe diem

i used 3 thin coats of carpe diem as my base color for this.  it is the perfect white for using as a base color, it's not pure blinding white and it has a really soft holo to it.

the image used for this was off of the big sdp-f plate.  there seemed to be a part on the image that wasn't engraved deep enough, but knowing this, next time i use this image, i will just be more careful with the positioning.  i love this celtic knot image.   

the polish i stamped with did smudge a bit with seche vite, but i think that was totally my fault.  i didn't wait to add it after i stamped

i actually wore this for a few days, which is rare for me.  i love how it turned out in person.  the smudging wasn't as noticeable.

you can see in this next image where the plate didn't pick up the complete image.

dashica big sdp u

i was excited to get this order.  i purchased several plates and some stamping polishes from dashica. 

the image below is from the big sdp u plate.

the polish worked perfectly for stamping.  with any stamping i've done before i have only used cult nails - nevermore, so having some colored polishes will be a nice change.

for the base color i used 3 thin coats of nail nation 3000 - eleanora.  the post for that polish without a stamp is here.  1 coat of seche vite was used over the whole thing.

if anyone wants to see specific images from the dashica plates stamped, let me know.   i have the big sdp plates in D,  F, P, K, J, L, U, V.  i wouldn't mind ordering some more, there are so many designs that are totally my style on other plates.

shipping was pretty fast.  i ordered on june 28th and everything was delivered to mom's on july 6th.

i totally need to work on practicing how to line up half/french tip images.  that, and longer nails would help ;)
