Dandelion Stampicure Nails

My duochrome week is over and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Today it's Nail Art Sunday and because of the election to the European Parliament which also is today the theme for today is "The EU Election".

When I first saw the theme I thought I'd never come up with something fun and beautiful but pretty fast I came up with an idea. I had some stamping plates I've been meaning to try for quite a while and these would be perfect!

Now an explanation for you non-Swedish readers :) In Sweden we have a political party called "Miljopartiet" (a direct translation would be like "The Environment Party"). Their logo is a yellow Dandelion on a green background. I changed it to gold and with a twist of course ;)

The base is the wonderful Rampage from Illamasqua and I've used MoYou plate Pro Collection-06 and Essie Good As Gold to make the pattern.

I love the result! But it wasn't that straight forward this time… I had to redo the middle and pinkie (on the photo hand of course!) from scratch TWICE!!! Aaarrrgghhhh! The tiny pattern was tricky to pick up. Delicate patterns dry so fast you have to be really quick. Anyway, it was worth all the effort :)


How do you like my Dandelion manicure?

  5. En underbar manikyr och ett fint sätt att göra en politisk manikyr mer "vardaglig":)

  8. Jättefint! Måste dock erkänna att jag behövde texten för att göra kopplingen mellan manikyren och valet ;)

  9. Hi doll, awwww what a gorgeous stamping!!! While I bet you were annoyed by the need to redo two nails I feel encouraged since this seems to happento experienced stampers as well. I probably would have tossed the stamper into a corner and whailed "FAIIIIL" - cudos to your patience!! Puss, puss xxx
