Why do I love negative space stamping so much? Because you can have your image in glitter! However I realized that I'm sorely lacking in orange glitter so I just bought OPI's Orange You Fantastic this year. You can expect to see this in Halloween manis for years to come now! It is pretty jelly so it took 3 coats to get it fully opaque. But check out all that glitter. Now that I'm looking at it, I think this would make a pretty stellar base for any fall design.
Lina Nail Art Supplies Spooklicious 02 (previously reviewed here) has tons of negative space images. I knew I had to use the pumpkins before this year was out. Even the swirly design is sort of a negative space image since there's more solid regions in between the swirls.
I did the stamping with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I just received this order (my first Painted Polish order ever) of stamping polish and I have to say I'm impressed. I've swatched the Fall Into Zen cremes for stamping and really like them. Hopefully I can write up a post about them next week.
While I chose to use a negative space stamping image, I've seen some of the other ladies do negative space nails with "naked" space. That's impressive to me. I highly suggest you check out the rest of the group in the links below!
'Til next time...
