September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 13: School

Introduction:

School is nice topic for stamping because anyone can relate to it :) I chose to use several universal symbols: notebook, love note and apple. 

Results:

Materials and Methods:

Nail polish: 

•  Julep - Nicolette (2 coats)
• Picture polish -Whimsy (drawing)
• Picture polish - Vegas (decal and drawing)
• Essie - Licorice (stamping and decal)
• Julep -MacKenzie (decal)

Stamping plates:

•  Salon express SE-18 & SE-20

  

Discussion: 

First I created white background with  blue and red stripes to represent school notebook after that I applied apple decal and finally stamped xoxo :). This did not turn out as good as I wanted. You can still see blue stripe through apple and my black stamping polish is far away from perfect  (I hope my Mundo de Unas order will arrive soon). Nevertheless there is a bit of school life spirit in this mani.
