Japanese dolls from Stampaholics ST04

Hi Everyone,

Today a mani I did last week. I really wanted to use the cute Stampaholics ST04 plate again. So I did some subtle full nail stamping with cute Japanese dolls. Do you remember the story behind this plate called 1000 paper cranes? Such a touching story.

 Base is Colorama Rosa Mosqueta, stamped the full nail with Konad SN dark red and the dolls SN black and colored them (stamping decals) with China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle and That's Shore Bright. All images are from ST04.

And also a swatch from the polish.

You can buy the Stampaholics plates here.

Thanks for reading.

Peace with matte black and Stampaholics ST04

 Hi Everyone,

Today another mani with the new Stampaholics ST04 (I still haven't showed my 2nd mani with that plate here either, but this is my 3rd one) I love this plate. Nail friend Dimpal from Crazy Polishes did a black mani with matte stamping earlier this week, and she gave me the idea to do a matte with shiny mani again. Only she stamped with matte and I stamped with shiny over a matte ;)

Catrice Carnival of Colours C07 Black For Gold made matte with Essie Matte about you. And stamped with Konad SN black full nails from Stampaholics ST04 over it (ring finger is the sort of reversed image from that plate). Later stamped the peace signs and bird over it with Konad SN white and also ST04.

Here also a picture of just the tone on tone full nail stamp.

I was really happy with this mani loved the subtle full nail stamp.

Thanks for reading :)

Origami birds with the new Stampaholics ST04 plate

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a very happy Summer mani and pedi to show you. And my review about the the new Stampaholics ST04 plate that I used to make these. I received that plate this week and had to use it immediately. I think it is such a lovely plate. And the weather is really nice here too, so what is better then to stamp my finger and my toe nails :) I always love a matching mani/pedi. First I'll show the nail art picture and at the end the pictures of the plate. So I have a lot of pics for you.

A gradient base with China Glaze Son of a Peach and China Glaze That's Shore Bright. Stamped with Konad SN white the full nail origami image and used Konad SN black for the origami birds (paper cranes).

And here my mani with the matching pedi.

And a picture of both my feet.

Ana from Stampaholics included a little origami paper so I could fold my own paper crane. My peace crane will get a nice place in my nail room :)

Also a picture of just the full nail stamping.

And some pics of the gradient base.

I really love these colors together.

Ofcourse I also have swatches of just the base color China Glaze Son of a Peach.

I really like this color, I did needed lots of coats to even it out and make it opague but it dries really fast so that wasn't a problem.

Now some pictures of the 4th Stampaholics plate 1000 paper cranes.

Here is the story she posted together with this promo picture.

1000 paper cranes Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the bomb was dropped on her home city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Sadako seemed to escape any ill effects after her exposure to the bomb, until, ten years later, she developed leukemia, "the atom bomb disease." 

When she was in the hospital, her friend Chizuko brought her a folded paper crane and told her the story about it. According to Japanese legend, the crane lives for a thousand years, and a sick person who folds a thousand cranes will become well again. 

Sadako folded cranes throughout her illness. The flock hung above her bed on strings. When she died at the age of twelve, Sadako had folded six hundred and forty-four cranes. Classmates folded the remaining three hundred and fifty-six cranes, so that one thousand were buried with Sadako. In 1958, with contributions from school children, a statue was erected in Hiroshima Peace Park, dedicated to Sadako and to all children who were killed by the atom bomb. 

Each year on August 6, Peace Day, thousands of paper cranes are placed beneath Sadako's statue by people who wish to remember Hiroshima and express their hopes for a peaceful world. Their prayer is engraved on the base of the statue: This is our cry, this is our prayer; Peace in the world "Peace Crane, I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world." Sadako Sasaki, age 12

Look at all those cute images ^_^

And some quick paper swacthes.

Just like the other ST plates I love this one too. I love that is has full nail images (2,0 cm by 1,5 cm) and single images. And it stamps great. 

You can order this plate by sending her a mesage on her facebook Stampaholics or visiting her store

Have a nice weekend.
