When I was trying to find inspiration for today's look I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I ended up trolling pinterest and I found this print. Inspiration hit. I could adapt it to use it for #StampingSaturday which I love. I started with a base of OPI's I Have a Herring Problem. IHAHP is a dusty blue filled with shimmer.
I then stamped on a hexagon with Winstonia W-113 and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Finally I took OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid (teal) and Can't Afjord Not To (coral) and filled in some of the hexes with a teeny-tiny paint brush.
In the end I feel its a good interpretation of my inspiration picture, but translated onto my nails it looks kinda like old school flooring tiles. I do love the color combo though. These are all great together. Be sure to check out all the other lovely ladies who created stamped looks today.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

I like it. Kind of reminds me on confetti
ReplyDeleteThanks V! Confetti is always fun!
DeleteI do like the color combo! I've always wanted IHAHP. Something about a muted gray with those brights. Next time you should totally decal this. It takes a little longer but the outcome is better! It makes me want to redo my honeycomb nails...
ReplyDeleteDecals are always a disaster for me. I just can't get them to work.
DeleteThis is one of my favorites! If you have a gold flake top coat, put it over it. It's lovely together!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll totally have to try that combo.
DeleteI like this a lot. The colors work great together!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love your interpretation of the print. Fabulous stamping.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was really happy with how it turned out.
DeleteFunny you mentioned tiles cause my first thought was "Oooo I want to tile my bathroom like that" :)
ReplyDeletelol! I'm not far off on that call am I?
DeleteLove everything about this mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelby!
DeleteI like this color combo! Looks just like the picture you used for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm really happy with how it turned out.
DeleteThat is spectacular! And it does look like encaustic tiles!
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks!
DeleteVery funky design! IHAHP really suits you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I love the way it works on me.
DeleteThis looks great! Perfect interpretation of the print!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the way it turned out.
DeleteIt's really pretty, I love the pattern and the colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat is some dedication! It would probably take me all day to recreate this. I absolutely love the color combination. I think that the painting in of the pattern would be the perfect opportunity to do that reverse stamping thing. Maybe I'll try it out next week.
ReplyDeleteI can't get that shiz to work out for me. Endless frustration.
DeleteGreat color combo, I love the hexagons.
ReplyDeleteThanks Manna!
DeleteI think it came out great! Love the hexagons <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWow we have nine SS manis today!!!! That's awesome. And I just had to laugh when you said the old flooring tiles thing because I guess it does look like that a little, but definitely only in a good way! I think these look awesome. I love the colors and the print.
ReplyDeleteI love it! We need to grow this betch even more. I told you about the tiles. I totally called that.
DeleteYou nailed that pattern! IHAHP is such a stunner too!
ReplyDeleteIHAHP looks so pretty. I loved the stamping and the colors you filled the stamp with.
