Press Sample
Hello all! I really neglected my stamping plates for a while, so I've been using them a lot lately. When I swatched the KBShimmer Northern Exposure collection, I knew I wanted to do some themed nail art.When I think of Northern Lights, I think of Iceland and Alaska and warm cabins and forests and moose so I just wanted to do some themed art!
I feel like this is one of my last dark and moody winter manicures. I'm currently wearing a pastel pink and I think that's where my mind is! Either way, I love Northern Exposure because it's dark but also special and shifty. I love this color!
I used a variety of plates for this look. So were Christmas themed with random winter images, so that's what I used!
- Index: Christmas BP-R004
- Middle nail: Born Pretty Christmas L006
- Ring: Christmas BP-R004
- Pinky: Uberchic 2-02
I did layered stamping although I did not even try to line them up perfectly. Actually, perfect alignment would defeat the purpose since the point is to show some dimension.
- Black polish: Girly Bits it’s definitely him
- Beige polish: Lechat Dare to Wear French Vanilla
All I did was stamp the images in black and then layered it with a stamping of the same image in beige. I loved that this beige stamped because I felt that white would be too stark. Make sure you are light handed when you use matte top coat because I did have a little smudging, but hey, I am human! Of course, I smudged my middle nail, which had the best image of a cabin and a moose.
Quick and easy! Love how this came out! This color and collection is still available now.

Amazing. I love how the double stamping makes the image pop off your nails. When I think of northern lights I think of home. The province I live in has the most amazing northern lights. We are very fortunate. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the northern lights, for real. One time, it somehow made it to my area but I maybe saw some green, not even sure, HAHA. Jealous!
