It's Black! It's White! - Day 2

And Day 2 brought me to a technique I have never completely mastered: stamping.

First of all it's not like we can get a lot of Konad plates (which are the best we can get here) in Lisbon - I only own a couple - and you know how I feel about buying things off of the Internet.

And second of all I just can't seem to make the designs stamp clearly enough on my nails. But this time…

This time... I sat at my polish work desk. I imbued myself with tons of patience and started working on my nails for today's challenge.

And, lovelies, I must say... I totally won this challenge! Muhahaha :)

Have a look for yourselves:

Know what I mean? The lines came out so crisp and neat and I'm such a happy girl right now because of it!

I'm showing this one first, which is the first stage of the mani. I then felt something was somehow lacking and...

Completed it this way!

Look at me, sporting proudly these nails! :)

As for details, this is OPI Alpine Snow as the base colour.

I then stamped using Konad Plate M54 and Purple Professional No.18.

And by 'stamped' I mean over and over until my nails plates wore a flowery pattern. I really did it! I conquered my impatient me over! Hurray! :D

Last but not least, I added a little lace thing (?) near my nail beds, with the same black polish.

Why? Because it's pretty! :D

I must say compared to the first mani I did for this challenge, this one I really, really like!

I think you can tell by the photo spam, right? ;)

And look! I even managed some decent photos: in this one I got a bit of blurry fingers - muhahahah :)

I'm working on it, believe me!

So let me know what you think of these nails and make sure you have a look on all of the other ladies' lovely designs :)

Hugs & Kissies,
