Beauty Big Bang Ocean Waves Pigment Stamping - Press sample

Remember when I did pigment stamping and it didn't turn out that bad? I decided I need to practice and make it more of a regular thing. I'm still experimenting with what items work best, so the manis aren't perfect, but I'm really starting to the get the feel of it.

For this look I started out with a base of Glam Polish A New Hope. I wanted the Beauty Big Bang Mermaid Shimmer Powder (SKU: U0941) to be more opaque instead of opalescent, so I grabbed an assortment of black nail polish colors to test out for stamping. What I found was that if a polish was too thick, the stamping wouldn't transfer to the stamper as expected. Thin or normal consistency polish always produced a better transfer.


With any pigment stamping, thick images are much easier to use than thin images. Anything thin seems to come out kind of clunky, so I opted to use the Beauty Big Bang Ocean Themed plate (SKU: BBBS-028) since it had quite a few images with thicker lines.
