Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did recently.
We had a few colleagues from France over at our office. I managed to dress properly (navy-blue suit, red and white striped top), but I couldn’t bring myself to wear plain red nails (yawn).
Since I was already dressed like a sailor, I thought I might as well just do a marine mani using the French national colours. And that’s exactly what I did! 🙂
And I used these products:
red base colour – Revlon 335 Mon Cherry,
blue base colour – Rimmel 231 Blue Eyed Girl,
white base colour – Rimmel 703 White Hot Love,
white stamping colour – Essence Nail Art Stampy Polish White,
blue stamping colour – Filthy Gorgeous Midnight,
red stamping colour – Revlon 335 Mon Cherry.
I chose images from three different stamping plates – Pueen 89 (shells), Pueen 91 (fish and corals), and Pueen 96 (anchors). These three stamping plates are part of Pueen’s Buffet Leisure stamping collection!
I realise this mani looks quite busy – but I really love it! I also got quite a few compliments which was very nice! How do you like this mani? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for reading! 🙂
I’ve never tired stamping, is it very difficult to do? I really love this manicure!

Hi Jodi, sorry I’m only getting back to you. This week was crazy!
No, stamping is not difficult at all. It’s super easy. If I can do it, everyone else can do it too!
All you need is… a stamping plate, a stamper, a scraper, nail polish… and 2 hands, of course. 🙂
I’ve written a tutorial last year. It includes lots of information on different stampers, stamping plates, scrapers, nail polish (not every polish will stamp…) and all those tips and tricks I wish I had known when I started stamping.
The tutorial is here: https://mrsstrawberryblonde.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/une-casual-matt-colour-rouge-demi-mat-lipstick-m18/
If you’re just interested in the actual stamping bit, scroll down to 5 How To Stamp. There’s text, but the pictures explain everything. 🙂
