#Nail stamping

Shana Tova! Here are picks of my Rosh Hashana outfit and matching nails.

Vid of my nails has no sound.

Shirt and skirt with pockets from @nerdykeppie.

Also, huge shoutout to Kinetic Color Foundry for these fidget rings that are saving me these High Holy Days. These are made by one neurodivergent person with a 3D printer who could use a lot more love.

I ordered this Star of David design years ago through the custom form if anyone is interested (she also has an etsy but it's better to order through her site if you can):

Close-up pics of nails and more details under cut.

I normally buy a new dress for Rosh Hashana but wasn't able to this year. Day-of I realized that I hadn't worn this outfit yet so I was able to say Shecheheyanu over some amazing clothes designed by a queer Jew.

This outfit also helped inspire these fun Trans Octopus Rosh Hashana nails. I only had one octopus design which I repeated, and I used a koi fish to emulate the eel and create some texture. Super happy with how they turned out. I may do it again in the future if I get a stamping plate with more sea animal designs.

Here they are on a backdrop of the NK skirt.

And here they are on my little design board. I like taking pics on here because it's easy to arrange in a way that the words are readable. :)

Base polish is One Coat Black from Holo Taco. Octopus design and stamping polishes from Maniology, koi fish from random Amazon set, Hebrew stamping plate was from Etsy and was the only one so no link to share unfortunately.

Edit: finally cleaned it up and filmed to catch all the sparkles in the explosions. Video sound is part of the opening theme for Never Stop Blowing Up.

Details and pics below the cut.

Super happy with how these turned out. Was going to stamp every part of the explosion, but I ended up liking how it looked better by just dabbing it with my finger. I made a rewind symbol with a triangle stamp. I already had the vampire plate out for the gunshot wound, so I added some fangs as soon as vampire Cosmo Chase and vampire President showed up. The Adrenanoxinil Plutonium Sulfate was made from a mad-scientist set with custom lettering.

If you want to start doing themed nails, a basic alphabet plate is your best friend. I have a few alphabet plates now in different fonts and it's the best.

Original text and pics from right after the finale:

Literally just finished my NSBU finale manicure. Am going to clean up and post a video soon, but wanted to get this up ASAP. Also, because I was working on this while watching the finale I was able to add a little vampire nail lol.

Sometimes I like the pics pre-clean-up because with stamping sometimes you get cool designs on the finger.

Hi tumblr do you want to see my Orpheus nails

I adore this pink nail polish! It's got a gold shimmer to it that makes it perfect for stamping. And it takes on a lovely orangey hue over red.

This polish is a very fun red/black shift (as mentioned in mc Escher!) with stamped gears over the top. Dave strider core!

You already know what time it is (if you don't this is a nail stamping plate and I'm going to give myself a monster high themed manicure)

If anyone has this Mundo de Unas plate, used or new, I would love to speak to you about buying it from you

I first knew I wanted to do the different versions of "YES!/?" and the rest of the design

There were a few versions of the iDK shirt that I saw floating around, so I decided to do two with different fonts and background tie-dye designs. I used a special magnetic polish to give it a more etherial feel.

After seeing @caitmayart 's drawing of Ankarna, I knew I wanted to do her hair. The gradient design was one I ended up redoing a few times to get right.

For the Helio shirt, I couldn't do the exact design, so I simplified it into a rainbow-gradient stamp (yeah, simple). I can't read Kristen's shirt in the official art, so I tried to come up with a phrase that made sense. Even though this nail was supposed to be smaller and less important, it was one of the more complicated designs so also took a few tries lol.

Kalina is meant to be subtle and blend in. She was a late addition because I didn't know what to put on my last nail, but I'm super happy I added her.

Here are all my mess-ups. This was a multi-day project, but I'm happy with the results.

Base color: Holo Taco - Cool Cat Mom (magnetic), Lavender Syrup, Box Office Bomb.

Stamping: polishes and plates from Maniology. Pulled designs from a lot of plates so if anyone wants a full list lmk and I'll add one.

After about 3 years of doing my nails and then coming to about an abrupt a stop as one could with a hobby, tonight I did my natural nails, and I love them. Yes, only my left hand is done. We all live in glass houses, man. Idk what to tell ya 🤣.

(Don't @ me about my cuticles, and the edges are sloppy af. I know this 😆.)

I'm just so in love with these shapes

Starting my halloween nails! I'm redoing a super cute design from last year.
