So another day, another mani for Tina's monthly challenge, and this is a technique I have been meaning to practice for a while as it takes careful placement - using a stamp that only covers part of the nail. (To see what the other participants have been up to this month, find them all listed here).
I started by choosing a polish I owned but hadn't got around to wearing yet - Color Club Cherubic, a nude shade holographic. With a subtle, taupy shade, a stamp with fine detail felt appropriate, so out came Moyou Pro 02, and the 2-sided partial on the bottom row.
As well as Cherubic and the Pro 02 plate, I also used Konad black stamping polish, OPI Matte Nail envy (base) and HK Girl top coat.
I try to take photos in natural light, but with a holo, I have included the obligatory 'with flash' photo!
I do rather like the understatedness of this mani; I just need some more placement practice :)

As always, thanks for looking, and please feel free to leave a link to your blog in the comments, so that I can see what you're up to as well :)
