Hello all:
It's been a beautiful day in my neck of the woods. It was 74 degrees today. Perfect day to be relaxing on the porch. And me with a cold. My great aunt had a screened porch. She died along time ago. I was 7. It doesn't look the same now but I am proud to say is is on The Historical Register.
With a latex free makeup sponge, I sponged three coats of polish on my ring and middle finger. If you are not familiar with stamping, you need a makeup sponge. You can buy them anywhere. I happened to buy mine at Wal-Mart.
Here's what it should look like when the polish is on it. I always cut mine into smaller pieces. I've had the same package for a year.They are wedge shaped. You paint on two of three coats of nail polish and stamp your heart out.

My mother loved this house. And she loved Auntie. The History lesson is over. But I know my brother and sisters won't forget this house.
I found this post for pink and gray nails on Bloglovin. Here's the link. http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4817501097&blog=4629175. I didn't want to use her picture without permission.
After you check out her link, this is what mine look like.
I used a base coat as always. Whichever you choose is fine. My goal, when I try to recreate looks, is to use what I have at home. Some colors are spot on. other are close enough to the original. On my pinkie, pointer and thumb I used Color Club She's Sooo Glam. I always have a hard time with light colored polishes. They never seem to go on smoothly. Anyway, three thin coats did the trick. For the Gray, I used L.A. Girl Color Pop Storm.With a latex free makeup sponge, I sponged three coats of polish on my ring and middle finger.

To stamp, I used Konad Black and White Stamping Polish. The plate I used was Pueen SE02B.
To finish, I used L.A. Girl Gel Shine Top Coat.
Here's a closeup of my finished product. I hope you enjoy this post. As always, I purchased all the above mentioned products myself.
Thanks for stopping by.
