So I mixed things up a bit and used #SallyHansenCA and #PureIce nail polish for this stamped look. I started with a base coat of #SallyHansen #SmoothNPerfect 03-#Dune. I put a tiny amount of the Pure Ice #Superstar on the stamping plate. I used the scraper to remove excess polish then stamped. I rolled stamper from side to side when placing on nail. Keep a Qtip and polish remover handy. Finish with clear top coat. #nails #nailpolish #iHeartNailArt #DIY #mani #nailie #nailartvideos #manicures #easymani #nails #nailart #diymani #nailstamping #stamping #SalonExpress #looknaildecor

Project: Fix My Hair

Okay so today is Day 11, and I'm about a third of the way through my bottles of Not Your Mother's Way to Grow shampoo and conditioner. I think I will order more tonight, because they take a few weeks to deliver and I don't want to delay my progress. Had a lovely treatment and massage today from the lovely Nikki, just $10 for five minutes of massage and 15 minutes of soaking. My hair feels lovely and is virtually straight with no outside assistance - not even a blow dry! I do have one small confession, however. And that is that I straightened my hair yesterday - it was Anzac Day and I wanted to look nice. Despite my bung eye. Total Cost: $82.65 Cost per day: $7.51

Salon Express Review

 A couple of weeks ago, I was watching TV when an ad for these Salon Express nail designs came on. Normally, I'm not one for television shopping but I thought it seemed pretty cool so I did a little research online.

 There are a number of reviews for a few different types of nail stamping systems but for the most part, they all seemed like they worked pretty well so I went ahead and bought it.

 I'll attach a picture of the complete kit, but it comes with 6 design plates, a double-sided stamper, the plate holder thing, the scraper and a nail care kit including a cute tri-fold pouch, scissors, nail clippers and everything else you see in the picture.

 As for the nail care kit, it was so cheaply made that when I used the file the gritty part actually came off, the clippers don’t clip and the scissors don’t cut... but whatever, I wasn't overly interested in that stuff anyways, I wanted the stamper.

 At first it was a mess, as you can see from the plate holder thing in the picture, I used the thickest nail polish I have (Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in "Grass Slipper") but the scraper is a nightmare. The sound of metal on metal was maddening and it almost never scrapped the plate clean. Which meant picking up the extra polish with the design. I eventually resorted to using an old air miles card lol, which works fantastically, btw.

 Anyways, the stamper had a hard time picking up the design but roughing it up with a nail file fixes that issue, and once I had figured all those bugs out. It worked pretty well. Well enough that I went and bought more design plates on Amazon.

 So after all of that, here's everything I've learned:

 - Trying to stamp onto bare nails does not turn out that well.

 - The thicker the polish, the better

 - Use an old card instead of the scraper

 - File the stamper a bit

 - Always use a top coat afterward

 - Make sure you have nail polish remover for cleanups.

So all in all, I would recommend it as a buy, since it was only about $10 and even though all the extra bits are cheaply made, the design plates and stamper work well and the shipping was pretty quick. I'd received it about a week after I'd purchased it.
