I have exciting news today! I have collaborated with Nail Artisan Cosmetics and the result is this Nail Artisan & Plus10Kapow Express Yourself stamping plate.
This plate has a plethora or quotes and phrases that are perfect to either finish of a mani or build some nail art around. I have done a couple of manis to give you an idea, and I have more planned for in the future.
Obviously had to start with a Batman mani. I used the “Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman, then always be Batman” image for this one, as my nails are quite short at the moment, I decided to split this one up and put it across multiple nails.
Polishes used: Barry M Black Forest
Barry M Banana Split
Moyou Black Knight
Moyou White Knight
Freckles Polish +10 Kapow (an old custom glitter polish)
Seche Vite
It’s worth noting at this point that the first batch of these plates has a very minor flaw on the batman image. If you look on my middle nail, you can see that the “man” in Batman has come out as a blob instead of defined letters. Due to this slight flaw in etching, Alex of Nail Artisan Cosmetics, has reduced the price down to £6.99. Once this batch has sold out, the price will revert to the regular price of £8.99. All other images stamp nicely.
When doing quotes, how could I leave off “Love You 3000” it still makes me feel all the feels! My stamping went a little skewiff here but I still love it.
Polishes used: Barry M Blood Orange
Beauty Big Bang Gold Stamping Polish

Other images in this mani are from the hehe Super Hero 002 plate.
Bit Gutted that this one went skewiff too but I tried it twice and for some reason I twitched the same way both time and I just gave up. But I wanted to do this mani because I am all of these things! Every day is a struggle but I’m not ready to give up. These stamps can be used for lots of different illness and conditions and the ribbon can be stamped on it’s own in any colour.
Polishes used: Zoya Dhara

And for my final mani for this post I have done Stitch nails. I don’t know if you know, but Lilo and Stitch is my favourite Disney movie and I love the sentiment of Ohana, so I had to put in an “Ohana mean family” stamp.
Polishes used: Wikkid Polish Hello Sailor

Seche Vite
Barry M Matte topcoat
The little Stitch is a nail sticker from a pack of Disney nail stickers that I bought on AliExpress.
You can find the Express Yourself stamping here from Nail Artisan. I can’t wait to see all the nail art done using this plate.
So that’s it, I hope you love it as much as I do and I hope to do more of this kind of thing in the future. What stamping plate do you wish existed that doesn’t exist anywhere at the moment? Let me know in the comments.

Right, these are just wonderful manis and love what you have done. 😀
That is an interesting plate, soooooo much to stamp!
Thank you so much! I am so happy with how it turned out. I’m excited to do some more in the future. :)x
