Today I have another subtle stamping combo to share with you. I'm really liking subtle stamping at the moment. Sometimes I want something more than plain polish, but I don't want an really in your face mani. Some subtle tone-on-tone stamping usually does the trick!
I was in the mood to try some Green stamping, so I grabbed Finger Paints Go Van Gogh!, Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Jumpin' Jade, and KandNail plate CK-03 from Born Pretty Store and set to work.
This image plate is my first larger image plate, and I was really excited to try it. I had a really hard time deciding which image to use, but in the end I went with the one that jumped out at me first when I opened the package.

| KandNail Image Plate CK-03 |
This plate is not one of the XL plates, but instead is around 8 inches tall with 42 images. A few images do appear twice, but there are some slight differences. A couple of them are the reverse images for the opposite hand, which I've always thought was a fab idea. There is a way to do that with multiple stampers, but having the reverse image is so much easier. At first glance, I was worried that the images wouldn't transfer well since they are not as deeply engraved as some of my other plates, but I had no issues with transfers. I tested every image on paper first, and they all stamped perfectly. I will note that the images are small, so if you have longer nails (or wide nails like mine), you may have to double stamp some nails. However, if you have shorter nails, these images are perfect. When I do have nubbins, I'm always annoyed that I can't get an entire image on my nails, but these would be perfect!
I did have some trouble lining up the images, but that's definitely me and not the plate. With everything that has been going on lately I am very sleep deprived and at this point I think I was seeing pink elephants. ;) The image did not fit my nail entirely at the free edge, but I chose a smaller image and was aware that would be the case. I'm still very happy with how this plate stamps, and can't wait to wear some of the other images. I have to say, the lace images on this plate are AWESOME! When I test stamped them, you could see the details of the lace, as well as the overlaid image. Very cool!
Onto the pics!
I do love subtle stamping! And IRL, you can't really tell that the image doesn't go all the way to the edge of the nail. Even though I didn't align them perfectly, it's still a win in my book! I also cannot wait to try this image stamped over a linear holo!
