KKCenterHK Stamping Plate Review!

Hello Ladies! Happy Sunday! Today I have a happy little stamping mani to share with you!

I've seen products from KKCenterHK before, but I had no idea that they have Nail Art supplies as well. And let me tell you, they have a veritable ton of products. Obviously I had a hard time picking something to share with you all.  I did finally manage to make up my mind, and the first product I want to share with you is, of course, a stamping plate!

First of all, these images are soooo cute! I am just in love with these little guys! I'll be honest and admit that I have no idea what this symbol means, but I love these images anyway.

The image plates come packaged in individual resealable bags, and have a clear protective film over them. The film is on there really well, so there is no way they are going to lift and leave the plates open to scratches during shipping. At first glance, I noticed the images were nicely etched and clear. The sides of the plate are a bit sharp, so you do have to be careful handling them, but I don't consider that a drawback.

Image plate SPPMB66

The above image is the plate in it's packaging. Nice and cozy! Please excuse the smears, this is post use.

And, here is what the stamps look like on the nail (forgive the index finger. I got a little happy with the topcoat):

My pics came out a little wonky since I had some oil on the lens that I didn't notice until way after the fact, but I think you get the point here. These images stamp VERY WELL!! I was very impressed! I used Sally Hansen Cherry Red as my base, and stamped with Konad Black. I am overwhelmed by the cuteness of this mani. I'm really digging it!

The images are deeply etched, but not so deep that you end up having to scrape multiple times or with a puddle of polish at the edges. They transfer easily and clearly (I did not have to try to pick up an image more than once, which is highly impressive), and are just as clear on the nail. The only smearing I experienced was my own fault - I had a cat hair stuck to my index fingernail and went a little hard with the top coat to try and slide it off- otherwise zero smearing. I'm not kidding folks, a perfect transfer every time. I am so impressed with these plates, that I plan on ordering more from them.

This particular image plate is product number SPPMB66, and you can find it either by clicking on the photo of the plate above, or here : N.Nail Plate SPPMB66. This particular plate retails for $5.05, and KKCenterHK ships worldwide. You can also receive 10% off by using code KimbersKorner at checkout.

I'll have some more really cool products to show you in the next week, so stick around!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing (and stamping!)!

Adventures in Stamping: Viridian Peacock

Hi Ladies!

Today I'm sharing some stamping I did over Illamasqua Viridian. The blackened teal base and hidden purple shimmer in Viridian was screaming "Peacock" at me, so I decided to break out my trusty Bundle Monster Plates, some colorful polish, and created a fun stamped mani! I shied away from a gradient since I've seen several gradient peacock manis lately and I didn't want to just recreate them.  I actually wore this mani for close to a week. Great thing was that not only was it eye catching, but the wear was amazing! It still looked great when I removed it; no chips and just some mild wear. Awesome!

First I stamped using BM Plate 212 and OPI Just Spotted The Lizard. Then I went in and filled in the dots with Orly Sweet Peacock and OPI "OPI Ink". Then I went back in and dotted again using OPI Ink in the center of Sweet Peacock and Vice Versa. I keep thinking I would've liked it better had I done all the dots in Ink, then dotted the center of those with Sweet Peacock, but I did like the effect of the random dots and colors, and this mani got a ton of compliments. I'm really digging stamping these days, which is good since I need the practice! I apologize if I end up posting a lot of single colors and then show them stamped later on. :) Anyway, here's my version of a peacock mani! My camera kinda freaked out on these..I guess it doesn't like the pattern. It just would not focus on the entire mani. :)

Not the greatest peacock mani ever, but I dug it. And I think my stamping skills are actually improving! Yay me! ;)

Thanks for dropping by and Happy Polishing!
