Flower paisley stamping

As I mentioned before, I bought a new Konad stamper and some plates recently. I've mostly just played around with stamping small designs and tip designs, until now. I tried a full-cover nail art stamp and I adore it.
I used a flowers and paisley design, it's cute and feminine.
Here is a closer view of the design.
I was originally going for a lighter pink base so that the white wouldn't stand out nearly as much, but I just couldn't resist trying it on top of a matted color. I do have a clear polish that will turn any color into matte, but I didn't want to layer too much.


I chose not to use a top coat in order to preserve the matted look.

Pink base: Sinful Colors Professional Matte Collection's Dream On
White: Konad Special Polish in white
Design: Konad image plate M64

Cheetah flowers

I call them cheetah flowers because I messed up.
See, I thought I'd get creative and try a reverse-cheetah print on my nails. I did a google search and couldn't find many pics of this type of design but I did it anyway.
Well, I found out why I didn't find many photos: Because it doesn't look like cheetah print, haha.
It sort of looks like little flowers. So that's what i'm going with- cheetah flowers.
It's not perfect, but it looks ok, I think!





Base: Butter London's "Primrose hill picnic"
Gold spots: Butter London's "Wallis"
White: Sally Hansen's French white tip
