Literary Nails: Books and Plants

I love doing nail art, but I haven't been doing much of it these last couple of months. But when I recently came across some more bookish stamping plates (because I already have a couple, of course, 😆) I knew I had to get them! So last weekend I sat down and played with one of my new stamping plates, and I love it! The theme for this mani: books and plants.

The technique I used is called reverse stamping and you basically pick up the image on a stamper and then fill the image in like you were coloring a coloring book. It's very time-consuming, which is why I don't do it often, but honestly, I love the result.

These are all the polishes I used:

TwinkledT - Vibin' Holo Taco - Blushed Ice Holo Taco - Burnt Bridges Holo Taco - Not Milky White Maniology - Marzipan Holo Taco - Nightshade Holo Taco - Lowkey Blushing Cirque Colors - BAM Maniology - Soft Sage Holo Taco - Modest Moss Orly - Bonder Rubberized Base Coat Holo Taco - Super Glossy Taco
And this is the fun stamping plate I used:

This stamping plate has a lot of fun images! But to keep the mani cohesive, I just focused on the books and plants. Next, time I want to do a books and cats design 😺

And here are some close-ups.

So what do you think? Did I nail it? 😜
