Brushstroke “LOVE” Valentine’s Day Nails
I’m LOVING the new Gelish Once Upon a Dream collection and decided to try a mani with a combination of the colors. I started with two coats of Gelish Artic Freeze (my favorite white) as the base and then I used a fan brush to randomly stroke on each of the colors, curing after applying each. The only color from the collection that I didn’t use is She’s My Beauty. I applied a thin layer of top coat over the brushstrokes, cured and wiped the tacky layer and then stamped the word “LOVE” with Bundle Monster plate BM426 and Konad Black polish (and then top coated again).
I really like how this turned out, and it’s perfect for V-Day even though the colors may be a little non-traditional. My inspiration for this mani came from a brushstroke design that I saw recently on Madamluck’s IG page. Go check out her awesome nail art and get inspired too! Happy Valentine’s Day (a day early) everyone!! ♥♥♥
And here’s what the brushstrokes looked like before the stamping.
This turned out super cute! I love the “love” stamp! :-)))))
Amazing! How in the world do you get your stamps so perfect?!
Thanks. I often wipe off and re-try a stamp several times before I’m happy with it. LOL I could never stamp over RNP – gel polish all the way!
I am having trouble with stamping. The polish or design rarely transfers to the stamper. It is very irritating.
Do you have any hints to make this technique more successful.
Check out my stamping video for some tips – there’s some info in the recent comments on that page too :) http://www.chickettes.com/video-nail-art-stamping-basics/
Lovely!
This looks so pretty
Beautiful! I love the look with and without the “love” letters :)
