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 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 ;)
