My hair has grown enough that it is now refusing to cooperate. I had some real craziness going on today with my hair; so much so that L. was laughing at the state of my hair. It was like an out of control, curly, frizzy and lopsided pompadour. I just wish my nails grew as fast as my cray hair. :/ I really miss having longer nails to work with when I do stamping so I haven’t been playing with any of my plates for almost 2 weeks!!! The following is a mani that I did a while back but hadn’t gotten around to posting. I started with a couple of coats of Essence Black is Black.
Doesn’t this seriously look like patent leather? I think this is my favorite black nail polish.
I used plate BM 320 for this design along with Konad special polish in yellow. I really wish that the yellow polish had been more opaque. Maybe it looks like that because it was stamped over black?
I’m not feeling particularly talky tonight so I’ll leave it at that. What do you think of this mani?
That looks cool! I actually think the yellow looks pretty dang good for being over black. Although I do see a little unevenness… still pretty impressive over such a dark color. As per usual- we practically have twin nails again. I did this design with green sparkly polish and blue a little while back. Probably a little after you did tho since it was pre-manic-hacking. 🙂
Hehe. I can't wait to see yours. I bet the color combo looks awesome. I am still not that happy with these konad polishes, though. Maybe they will look better when I try a different base color.
it looks super cool to be over black!! i need konad polishes!! hahaha
Thank you! I think you're right that it looks good for being over such a dark intense color. Yes, you need some konad polishes!!! 🙂

it really does, that is a fabulous black. and your stamping skills are rediculous!! : ( I am so frustrated with it right now, I have given up for a while.
Oooohh…don't give up! It just takes practice. It took me a while to work it out and even now I still mess it up sometimes.
This stamping has a 3D quality to it, and it reminds me of a modern art type painting, which is really cool.
My hair is annoying me. It's so effin' long that it just lies flat and limp and lifeless. I booked an appointment today to get it cut. I am literally walking up to my stylist (yes, she is MY stylist *haughty voice*) and saying "HELP ME!!! I hate it!!" It's getting caught in my seatbelt, in zippers, I roll over on it and it pis my head back. YUCK.
Your nails are growing slow? Mine are growing too fast. Is it possible that the thumbs grow faster than the rest of the fingers?
I have the same problem! With my hair and my super fast growing nails!
I really want my nails to grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I notice that my thumbnails do grow faster than my other nails!!!
How short are you planning to go with your hair? I just want it to grow enough that I can actually put it up in a pony tail or something. I can't even fix it in a short way anymore. I refuse to cut it, though, so I'm going to have to just deal with it.
I totally see the 3d modern art type thing now! 🙂
I took off about 2.5 inches. I cut my nails to the quick as well… I feel lighter now lol
That doesn't seem like a lot, but it is. I am having so much trouble growing my hair out…ugh!
I really like it! Very eye-catching.
Black and yellow always makes me think of bumble bees. hehehe

That's a beautiful black, a real black ^^
Yes, it is! It looks like shiny patent leather. Now I'm thinking of a beautiful pair of Louboutins lol

This mani is so cool! I need BM monster plates! I ordered some on amazon! I can't wait to try stamping 🙂
Thank you! Oh, you are going to love them. They are awesome.
Wow, that's one shiny black polish! I don't think I own one at all… but I might. I'm just not sure since I never ever see it. I finally ordered this set of plates and now I'm just playing the waiting game for them to arrive!
It's that shiny even without a top coat. I was going to get another bottle today but they were out at Ulta.
I tried to order some Mash plates today because they have free shipping and I had a 20% off code but their system was not calculating the final price correctly so I emailed them to see if they could fix it. Hey, a couple dollars is a couple dollars! 🙂

I wish my nails would grow long and not break…and that my hair would grow faster. Love this stamping design.
I love that black. Looks so shiny!
Yes! It has become my favorite black polish for sure.
