First Time Stamping using OPI

First Time Stamping: OPI My Vampire is Buff and OPI Vant to Bite My Neck?

Hi everyone!  Happy Tuesday!  Today I will show my first stamping manicure.  I did technically try once before but the polishes weren't right so I didn't want to subject anyone to that :)


 


A while back, the blogger ChitChatNails posted a review of Pueen stamping plates that were on sale on Amazon.  Since I had never heard of any brands of stamping plates and because they were ridiculously on sale, I went ahead and picked them up.  I also picked up a Konad stamper and scraper with my order.  The Pueen set came with 25 stainless steel stamping plates with four full designs and two mini images on each plate.  It really was a great value.   I started off with two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff.  This truly is a favorite polish of mine right now, it's just perfect...color, formula, opacity.  I contemplated buying a second bottle as a backup but I didn't know if that seemed ridiculous or not :)  I used stamping plate 02 and OPI Vant to Bite My Neck?  This purple was the perfect polish for stamping.  Obviously it's not perfect but I don't think it was bad for a first try!
