Nail Art with Vivid Lacquer and Literary Lacquers


Every once in a while I like to do stamping and nail art with my Vivid Lacquer rectangle stamper and stamping plates. I had a lot of fun doing these over several of the Literary Lacquer polishes from the Wrinkle In Time Collection that I previously reviewed. I used Konad black and Mundo de Unas stamping polishes. I hope you enjoy these!

VL002 stars and VL017 planets over Camazotz adorned with a few loose star glitters. Huge thanks to Jenna from Inky Whiskers, she helped design this look.

VL001 xoxo and heart design over Megatron. Any time I think about stamping over purple or lime green I almost always end up using the xoxo design, how could I not?!

And finally VL008 over Tesseract - with this one I did what's called a reverse stamp or decal. It was quite challenging since the flower petals are teeny tiny, but it was fun and I was able to use every Literary Lacquer polish from the WIT collection, yay!

Which is your favorite? And any tips on a fast dry topcoat that doesn't smear nail art?

  2. The stars *___* I'm in love with the outcome of them all but Camazotz+stamping+stars is simply awesome!

    As for a TC that doesn't smear, I usually lay a coat of Konad TC plus something fast drying, but I've read Glisten&Glow one is great and doesn't smear. I own it but I haven't tried it yet, I've still a bottle of Seche Vite (which smears a lot X__X) to go....
