Hello everyone! I’ve really neglected my stamp plates for a while, so I’ve been using them a lot lately. When I swatched the KB Shimmer Northern Exposure collection, I knew I wanted to do themed nail art. When I think of Northern Lights I think of Iceland and Alaska and warm cabins and forests and moose so I just wanted to do some themed art!
I have a feeling this is one of my last dark and moody winter manicures. I’m currently wearing a pastel pink and I think that’s where my thoughts are! Anyway, I love Northern Exposure because it’s dark but also special and dodgy. I love this color!
I used different panels for this look. So were Christmas themes with random winter images so I used that!
- Index: Christmas BP-R004
- Middle nail: Born Pretty Christmas L006
- Ring: Christmas BP-R004
- Pinky: Uberchic 2-02
I stamped in layers, although I didn’t even try to align them perfectly. In fact, perfect alignment would defeat the purpose, since showing some dimension is important.
- Black Polish: Girly bits, he definitely is
- Beige Polish: Lechat Dare to Wear French Vanilla
All I did was stamp the images in black and then overlay a stamp of the same image in beige. I loved this beige stamp because I felt like white was too strong. Make sure you are light handed when using a matte top coat as I smudged a bit but hey I’m human! Of course I smudged my middle nail which had the best picture of a cabin and a moose.
Fast and easy! Love how that turned out! This color and collection is still available now.
