This time my jewel for #wnac2015 is sapphire. I chose to mix two delicate patterns and silver:
Both patterns are from the the ÜberChic stamping plate 1-03 from the Collection 1.These plates are just amazing - just look how wonderfully intricate the patterns are! Me likey! :)
Base color:Tristam by A-England (one thick or two thin coats) Stamping: patterns from ÜberChic stamping plate 1-03 (ordered from their online shop with shipping to Germany) stamped with Mundo de Uñas Silver. Silver nail: textured polish Maxibelt Arena Plata, bought on holiday in South America

It was really hard to decide which image to take from my new ÜberChic stamping plates. This simple, but cool pattern comes from plate 2-02 from the Collection 2. The image and the etching are flawless, it's my stamping skills which aren't spectacular. ;) It seems, I just cannot stamp straight lines. But I like this mani anyway! Somehow this candy color combination is just cute and reminds me of the girly dresses from the fifties. :)
Base colors: I'm not 100% sure about which polishes I used, but it has to be Mesauda #91 and matte pink Inglot #702, which I covered with Seche Vite afterwards. Stamping:ÜberChic plate 2-02 stamped with MdU polish Holland Blue from the Frozen set. Studs: pastel colored mini studs from Born Pretty Store
After ruining my nails with water sports during my holiday and suffering for at least 3 weeks afterwords, I'm finally happy to be able to do my nails again. Yeey!
The nail art community was going crazy over the ÜberChic stamping plates in the last months, so of course, I had to have them too ;) The flower image comes from the plate 1-02 from the Collection 1.
I've tried the stamping decal technique before, but never managed to get it right - either I would mess up the placing of the image or the decal would melt on the cuticle line during clean up.
This time I tried a new advanced stamping method - colouring the image and transferring it to the nail directly, without covering it with a top coat first. I still managed to smudge it a bit, but I'm totally amazed how easy it was.
There are tons of tutorials on advanced stamping, one of the first I've seen was this one by Lucy's Stash. Another one of my favourites is by San-tie Nails:
Base color:Flormar Matte White Board and two coats of Pierre René #236 Stamping decal: flower image from ÜberChic plate 1-02 stamped with MdU polish Blue Navy from the Frozen set , filled with Essie Bikini So Teeny.
