oh, this has to be one of my new favorites! Hope I can find that teal still. I have a question – when you stamp – do you use SV before stamping and after or just after stamping? I am wondering because I try to wait to stamp but inevitably I don’t wait long enough and smoosh up the base coat as I’m trying to lay down the stamping. LOL

I’ve done it both ways. The only time I attempt to use it twice (once before stamping and once after) is when I know that the polish will NOT shrink. Seche Vite is notorious for causing polishes to shrink, so adding a second coat would make it shrink even more. However, if it does NOT shrink the particular brand of polish, then I don’t worry about it. China Glaze is usually pretty good, so you could use it twice with this color.

I agree that this combination is outstanding! Love nail stamping so much even if it’s just one nail. Thanks for sharing, Kristina
