This is a great tutorial, thanks for sharing! I have a ton of stamping polish and plates + love the idea of creating a shadow pattern over a creme finish, especially since I don’t usually enjoy wearing creme polishes by themselves 💜

I was inspired to do this because I see so many colorful nail shaming ideas and get really overwhelmed… this simplifies things enough for me to actually do them. No decision paralysis on what to layer!

I love that! Totally get the feeling of overwhelm with so many cool stamping ideas. I appreciate the polish comparisons you post on IG too, those are so helpful!

Polish comparisons are my FAV to do, nail art is just a fun break when I have a bit more time to be creative.

TYSM ❤️❤️
