Winstonia Series 1 Stamping Plate Review

Recently on Nailed It, you may have noticed a revival in stamping. That continues tonight with a review of one of the plates in Winstonia Store's Series 1 stamping plates.

I used the large floral pattern, as well as it's smaller counterpart for my design tonight, as well as a 3D fimo flower for my thumb!


I had no problem with these stamps. They transferred easily and all the lines and details translated perfectly.

Below is a shot of the plate I used, which includes several other floral ideas:


The series also comes with 3 other plates:

This series of plates comes at a really low price. All four are available here for $4.95! SO CHEAP!

Which plate is your favorite? Which design is your favorite?

These products were sent to me by Winstonia. The reviews are based entirely on my experience with the products and were in no way influenced by anyone.

ROCOCO Mod's & Muses Collection Swatches & Review

No new news on the flood situation from my perspective. Which is good news!

More good news is that I have nail art and swatches to show you.

ROCOCO nail lacquer released a line of four 60's-inspired shades in their new collection, Mods & Muses.

Rock your nails this summer with the newest shades from ROCOCO. Inspired by the iconic styles of the 60's, ROCOCO's "Mods & Muses" collection draws on bright and bold shades reviving the statement hues of this groovy decade for a flower power collection.

60's style huh? Well more flower power to them! Here's the nail art to go with it!


Besides the base, which is OPI My Vampire is Buff, the colors are all from this collection, the first of which is Flower Child.



Flower Child is a lovely pale yellow creme. It's somewhat difficult to work with. I'm coming to terms with the fact that most, if not all yellows, are like that. Ugh. This yellow took 3 patient coats.



Bombshell is a dark but bright magenta. It's a quality I can't really describe, in that it's bright on the nail, but it's not exactly a bright color. I used 2 easy coats for this.



Flashback is another creme (they all are) that counts as coral, but is much more orange than the pink. This requires 2-3 coats, 3 if you're impatient like me.



The last color is called Kitsch, and it's a mint creme. It's the exact color of mint ice cream, which makes me almost as happy as mint ice cream does. Just like Flashback, it's a 2-3 coat polish that requires patience.

Overall, these polishes are great! The collection is cohesive and the cremes make me giddy.

You can buy these polishes at spacenk.com for $16.50 each. Pricey, yes. They're also available at select Bloomingdales. You can spot them in these precious boxes:

A Floral How-To By Zoya Nail Polish


DIY Floral Accent Nail 



Did you absolutely adore this floral mani we posted a few weeks ago? We're going to show you how to get the look, step-by-step! 



What you'll need...

- Zoya Nail Polish in Demi
- Zoya Nail Polish in Megan
- Zoya Nail Polish in Mitzi
- Zoya Nail Polish in Suvi
- Zoya Nail Polish in Purity
- A good dotting tool (or bobby pin)
- A thin brush or toothpick



Step 1


Select which nail(s) you want as your floral accent and paint all other fingers with Zoya Nail Polish in Demi. Use Zoya Nail Polish in Purity as the base for
accent nail(s) of choice. Now for the how-to on the accent nail!

 

 


Step 2


When the base of your accent nail is completely dry, use a dotting tool or small brush to create the flower base using Zoya Nail Polish in Megan. You're not going to make the dots completely circular. Instead, make them a little irregular, to get more of a flower shape.









Step 3


When the dots have dried, use a skinny brush or toothpick to make a little "C" shape in the center of each flower with
Zoya Nail Polish in Demi. Next, outline two edges of each flower as shown to the left. You only need a little bit per flower!

Step 4


Once the outline of the flower is dry, you'll be ready to make the leaves to the flower. Take your brush (make sure it's clean) and dip it into Zoya Nail Polish in Mitzi. Choose a side of each flower and make two skinny triangles right next to each other to create the leaves - it's easy!






 


Step 5


Finally, once the lighter green has dried, you will put two lines in each little triangle to give the leaves some dimension!


There you have it! A simple, and super cute floral mani. You can do so much with this look to make it your own. Switch up the colors, play with designs, add more colors to the flower - have fun, be creative... and don't forget to share your looks with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Sienna Miller looks care-free and beautiful in this floral Dolce & Gabbana dress. This look is very colorful, which makes choosing a nail color easy! You can pull any of the colors used in the design to make your mani pop, which makes it fun and versatile! Try a pretty pastel pink like Zoya Nail Polish in Melanie. Or, try a true red like Zoya Nail Polish in Sooki to keep the look classic.
