Hopefully you have seen my first "Endless Summer" post where I used Cult Nails Intriguing. I decided after looking at it for a day that I wanted to brighten it up a bit. So I tried my hand at stamping! This was my very first attempt and I don't think it went too bad. Now I have this desire to
collect all of the buy a few more plates so that I can do some more nail art!

For this, I stamped a lovely leopard print on my middle finger and
jazzed up my ring finger by changing the polish to match the stamp. For
this I used Essie's Tart Deco. I have to say that while this is a bright
polish, I love the color for summer and especially the beach. My poor
bottle needs a little thinner though since the formula was thick and a
bit streaky. It didn't self-level very well either. Admittedly it has been sitting in a drawer unused for a
year, so it makes sense that it needs a little TLC. You can really see the unevenness in the picture above.

Almost forgot to say that I used a Konad stamper and stamping plate that I received last Christmas (yes, it has taken me this long to muster the courage to stamp!) I'm not sure it has a number but it was in a mini set that had a picture of Santa on it.
Have you ever tried stamping? What are your favorite plates and designs? Please let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading!
