Beauty Tips for Women: Recreation of Hearts, Stars & Splatter Manicure by elleandish

One of my favorite nail art ladies on youtube is elleandish.  She has some very lovely manicures and wonderful “do it yourself” tips for nail art.  She did a nail tutorial called Hearts, Stars & Splatter; I fell in love with the design of the manicure and color combination.  Here is a link to go check it out and while your there follow her: http://youtu.be/_8tA_J5t-JQ

I decided to recreate the look.  Unfortunately I didn’t have all the polishes she had to create the look, so I would have to make do with what I have.

Here are the polishes I used to make the look: (from left to right)
China Glaze – For Audrey
Venique – Wingtip White
Hard Candy – Black Tie Optional
Cover Girl – Disco Dazzle
Essence – Icy Princess
Poshe – fast dry topcoat
Venique – basecoat (not shown)
Konad – Black (not shown)
Konad – White  (not shown)

The stamping plates I used are: (from left to right)
Born Pretty Plate – KD3
Bundle Monster – BM311
Bundle Monster – BM303
Plus my Born Pretty plastic blade scrapper and Konad stamper.

I started off with my basecoat, then two coats of For Audrey and Wingtip White.  I did only one coat of Icy Princess since the silver glitter was going over it.  Unfortunately my silver glitter was not “chunky” like the one used by elleandish.

I had some major issues stamping with my Konad white; it was coming out very light no matter which way I scrapped. It is very noticeable on my thumb where the double stamping was happening.  For the hearts stamp I decided to stamp with Wingtip White and had a better outcome. I topped everything off with Poshe.

Overall, I think it came out ok.  It doesn’t look exactly like hers but still I love the look.
