Clear Jelly Layered Stamping

Hey y'all! 
I'm a little late gettin this blog post up, but ah well here I am now gol. 
Today I have another post about the clear jelly stamper from born pretty store. The last post was a review of workin on placement with it and this one is placement with layering designs. 

Let's get into it: 

Here's the stamper on it's own. 

This is the plate I'm usin. From Born Pretty Store as well. It's such a cute plate perfect for the nail polish addict. 

I started with a black base of Salon Perfect "Oil Slick."

I'm startin by puttin a holographic silver polish (Loreal "Masked Affair") on the nail polish bottle image. 

Then I scrape the polish towards me usin the creative shop scraper. I don't like the scraper that comes with the clear stamper. 

Then pick up the image with the stamper in a kind of rollin motion. 

Then I line it up over my nail and look down the center of it to help with perfect placement, and squish it down onto my nail. 

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape to remove excess polish. 

Then I'm using a metallic silver polish (Sephora Formula X "Need For Speed") on the paint drip image.

Scrape the polish towards you.

Pick up the image in a rollin motion and line it up over your nail. Look down the center to help with placin this image right by the cuticle. Press the stamper down onto the nail. 

Use a small brush and some acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin. 

Finish it all off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect. 


And that's it!

Hope y'all enjoyed this! I definitely recommend this stamper. It's very cool and makes stamping a bit easier in terms of placement.

Clear Jelly Stamper Review/Demo

Hey Y'all! 
Man what a day! I'm so tired and blah today! I kinda have been all week! I started workin out more and watchin Doctor Who, and I think it's havin crazy side effects on my sleep! I've been havin horrible dreams and wakin up still slightly in a dream state. I hope it goes away soon! 
Anyways today I have a review/demo of the new clear jelly stamper from Born Pretty Store. 
This is a completely clear squishy stamper in a plastic holder. The stamper head itself is squishy but definitely not as squishy as the creative shop stamper. It's squishy enough though. I was thinking it would be too hard because of other clear stampers I have been seein, but it's actually ok. It's also not as sticky feelin as the creative shop. I love the stamper so far, but the scraper is not good at all. I tried it several times and it just didn't work for me, so I'll keep usin my creative shop scraper with it. This stamper didn't need priming either. I really like this stamper also because it's still big enough to cover my nails. It's not as big as the creative shop stamper but it's still big enough to fit my length of nails so far. 
Let's get into the demo: 
I started with a gold sparkly base of OPI "Oy Another Polish Joke!"

This is the plate I'll be usin from the born pretty store as well. 
http://www.bornprettystore.com/classic-cross-pattern-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-l012-65cm-p-19367.html

For this I'm usin my creative shop scraper instead of the clear jelly one. The purple one is too thick and not flexible. 

I start by placin black polish on the image. I used Salon Perfect "Oil Slick."

Then I scrape the polish towards me with the scraper.

I pick up the image with the stamper in a sort of rollin motion. It works better than just stampin straight down on it. 

There's the image on the stamper. 

Then I line it up over my nail. This is the cool part! Because it's clear you can see your nail under the stamper and it really helps to perfect placement! It was a little difficult to do on camera but the rest of my nails were so easy and quick. Be sure to clean your stamper with a piece of tape and not acetone!

Use a small brush and some acetone to cleanup any polish you might have gotten on the skin. 

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat! I use Salon Perfect! 

And that's it!

I hope y'all enjoyed this! I definitely recommend gettin this stamper! It's about $3 and free shippin! Granted it does take a few weeks to get to you, but it's definitely worth it!

South Western Stamp

             Hey Y'all!
Today I am bloggin from the car! No I'm not drivin! I'm runnin around with my mom and aunt, havin random unplanned fun. 
The design for today is a south western stamp. 

here's how:
I started with a multicolored base: Orly "Fireball" on my ring and pointer, China Glaze "Keepin It Teal" on my middle nail and Orly "Push The Limit" on my pinky.

Of course I'm usin my creative shop stamper set, 

And this Wild West plate from Uber Chic Beauty. I used several images from this plate but this is the one I'm usin for the tutorial. 

I'm startin by placin black polish onto the image (Salon Perfect "Oil Slick")

Then I scrape the polish towards me with my creative shop scraper.

And pick the image up with my stamper in a rollin motion. Then I line it up with my nail and press my nail into the image. Sorry I forgot a pic of that but you get what I'm sayin. 

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape, not acetone! 

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any polish you might have gotten on the skin. 

And finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect. 


And that's it!

Saran Wrap Marble

Hey y'all! 
So it's Wednesday! *wink wink* ok so it's Tuesday as I'm typin this. Tuesdays are weird to me. They're worse than a Monday because they're not in the beginning but they're not the middle yet either. It's just kinda blah haha. Anways today I have a Saran Wrap Marble design for ya. 
I have been wantin to do marble nails for awhile. I tried 3 other techniques for this and I didn't like a single one of them so I went with my trusty saran wrap mani. 

Let's get into the how: 

These are the colors I used: 
Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube", Sephora Formula X "Extraordinary", Sinful Colors "My Turn", and Salon Perfect "Oil Slick"

I started with a white base (Sugar Cube)

Then you'll need a piece of saran wrap and crumple it up.

I started with the light grey (Extraordinary) and put it directly onto the saran wrap piece.

Then I dabbed it all over my nail. 

It'll look somethin like this.

Next I used the dark grey (My Turn) and put it onto the saran.

And dabbed it onto the nail. Very lightly though, so I don't cover too much of the white and light grey. 

It'll look like this.

Then lastly I used the black (Oil Slick). 

I dabbed this on very very lightly and in quick dabs. I really didn't want the black to overpower everythin else.

Then use a small brush with acetone to clean up any polish you might have on the skin. 

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.


And that's it!

Here's the video tutorial: http://youtu.be/iXZiqOaIbS0


I hope y'all enjoyed this super simple, quick design! I really love the way these turned out, might have to try em in different color combos. 
If you get inspired by me use the tag #MagsyInspired on Instagram so I can see! 
Hope y'all have a good Tues.....ugh I mean Wednesday!!!!
