China Glaze OMG

I realized that I've always used OMG for stamping and never painted a full mani with it!  When in a holo mood I always reach for my Gosh Holographic (which I believe to be the bling-iest silver holo).

This was 3 very thin watery coats of OMG and I stamped Warm Black Konad using some new stamping plates I purchased from Shirley.


I'm not too sure about these plates just yet...I may have a review on them soon. The stamp I used didn't completely stamp the pattern, but this *may* have been me as the user rather than the product.....I'll be trialling it again tomorrow and if it does the same thing again with different patterns then I may have faulty plates. This pattern was a gorgeous flower with vine and leaves, but as you can see the flowers came out as blobs with a bit of wispy vine here and there....not very impressed.

1 coat of Seche QD to finish it off.


I would love to hear commenst from other followers who have used Shirley's plates.  Did they work well?  If not, what was the problem with them?  Thanks!

    i heard shirley had problems wit hthe manufacturing of the plates and they were created by the wrong printer - she had to throw half of them away :( its such a shame as this pattern is beautiful, just a shame it didnt translate onto the nail :( im sure if you let shirley know she can do something about it for you. otherwise, OMG looks great, and the colour combo is timeless! xxx

    I love this mani! It's too bad that it didn't stamp well, but I kind of like the blobby thing that you ended up with. It reminds me of an old faded couch. n_n

    WOW I love the end product. I am so jealous I don't have that on my nails right now! :( & LOL@ the above 'faded couch' comment haha :) Also I think you can get away with it being a bit messy, sometimes those floral designs have little flecks here and there like leaves. I thought it looked pretty great !

    I bought 8 plates from shirley the day they were finally for sale. THEY ALL DONT WORK. I cried. I spent 82.00CND for nothing. They don't clean off normally, half don't stamp the design not just the big ones with a larger void I mean the small vains and stuff, the vains feel like it doesnt have enough room for the polish or something. I stamp my nails every single day wtih Konad, Bundle Monster, HB, H and A series and I havent had any problems with these at all. I told shirley that mine didnt work and I was told no one else had any problems with them. I think that is crap. The plate desings are the best I have seen but the plates arent for stamping they just don't work, the first time I tried it took me almost 3 hours to do four fingers on one hand. That is not normal. Just because you can sometimes get a stamp to work doesnt mean there isnt a problem with the stamp and should not be sold at full price, I am hearing a few more people with the same issues. So I guess it wasn't just me after all. Thanks. BTW I always love reading your blog. Have a great day!!
