Hey there! So far 2019 has been all about stamping. Well, let's be honest, 99% of what I do on my nails is stamping. But today I have a stencil post! As much as I love stamping, I do love a good nail stencil and luckily, Whats Up Nails makes the best stencils. These are the last two stencils I have to share from my last package they sent me but I actually just ordered some more from a distributor last night (gotta keep those Canadian shipping costs down). But for now, I have the Slime Drip Stencils and Chain Stencils to share. I love how they both turned out!

30 stencils
For these I started with a black base (A England Camelot). I actually did them first over matte'd black but I liked the shiny version better so that's what I'm showing. Then I applied the stencils and did a vertical gradient on each nail with ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakies. The flakies I used were Glory, Electric Carnival, Neon Rosebud, Metropolis, Luna, Cold Fusion, Gaia, Open Field and Brilliance. For top coat I used Glisten & Glow.

Anytime I think of chain nails (which I do a lot since they were one of the first stamping manis I ever saw way back in the day) I think of black and silver. So I switched it up this time and went white and gold...I'm soooo adventurous! For these I used Cirque Colors Don't Forget The Cannoli with a matte top coat. I let that dry for a good long time before applying the stencils since matte top coat isn't quick dry. Then I just painted over them with Cirque Colors 24 K Affair. They're almost classy, eh?
I hope you like these two stencilled designs. I should be back tomorrow with more stamped nails (I say "should" because I seem to be unable to find the time to blog until pretty late at night this week so I can't promise anything). But for now, I really can't recommend Whats Up Nails stencils (or their stamping plates, for that matter) enough. Feel free to shop at their store linked below.
