Times flies and this is part 9 already with my stamping trials take 41 to 45.
This time I only am happy about two of them, so a step back compared with part 8!

Take 41:
Take 41: Base Elevation Polish Plum Zingers and New
Nicknames stamped with Colour Alike B. a Lilac Sweater, plate Bundle Monster BM-XL204,
stamper Daschica Jumbo Clear Jelly.
Note to myself: Maybe not perfect – I still love it!!Take 42:
Take 42: Base Elevation Polish Space Raspberries &
Rhum stamped with Colour Alike B. a Raindrop, plate Born Pretty Store BPL-026,
stamper Daschica Jumbo Clear Jelly for the index and middle and MoYou London XL
Marshmallow Sticky for the ring finger and pinkie, read why below.
Note to myself: I had the door open – but it still was 24
degrees Celsius, so I learned how much that speeds up the dry time after
scraping and reduces the time-frame for the pickup, that a super light scraping
is mandatory – and that I’m still too much of a newbie to pull all of that off
with a clear stamper!! SO my beloved MoYou London XL Marshmallow Sticky rescued
me! The middle finger really shows my problems :) (and no, I could not have
removed that stamp with acetone, the shimmer is too heavy in that polish).
It could
have been a nice mani, but in person it was OK…
Take 43: Base Grace-full Nail Polish Magenta Sparks
stamped with Konad Blue, plate Born Pretty Store Qgirl-048, stamper MoYou
London XL Marshmallow Sticky.
Note to myself: Just as hot as yesterday – way too little
sleep – should have stuck with my initial thought not to do any nail art and/or
possibly not even change my mani. Uninspired and not well stamped – baaahhh…
(the next morning I felt better and was feeling better about it ;)Take 44:
Take 44: Base Enchanted Polish Entwined stamped with
Colour Alike B. a Sweetheart, plate Born Pretty Store Qgirl-049, stamper MoYou
London XL Marshmallow Sticky.
Note to myself: That went fairly – but I so wish that I
always could make the Colour Alike CREAM stamping polishes work no matter
stamper, plate or weather. It annoys me that I cannot break that code.
Yesterday
when it was hot indoors I tested a LOT of cream polishes on paper, they ALL
worked, also my Konad creames – but not the CA’s…. Or rather sometimes they
did, but then they stuck to the stamper before it hit the paper :(Take 45:
Take 45: Base the old Chanel Ruse stamped with Colour
Alike B. an Orion, plate MoYou London Enchanted 15, stamper Daschica Jumbo
Clear Jelly.
Note to myself: Not bad!So my favorites are the first (take 41) and the last (take 45) - what's yours...?

Awww, thank you so much :)
SletThey are all wonderful, it's a pity for the inconvenient that occurred for take 42! BTW I know it's way too pinky for my usual "ME" but my fav one among these is... *drum-rolls* take 44! So perfect and so lovely colour combo :)
SvarSletYes it was, but ah well, another day, another mani :D
SletOh, that was a surprise :D - thanks a lot Ky!
I like them all! :) You're doing so great!
SvarSletLove, Lotte
Thank you so much Lotte :)
SletTake 41 and Take 42 are similar, I prefer Take 41 :-)
SvarSletTake 43: nice colours, try again when you will be more inspired! :-)
Take 44: I like this one, it's a typical stamping that I like - beautiful base and some creamy stamping polish :-)
Take 45 is my favourite :-) The base colour is not "my" colour at all, but the combination looks fantastic and the stamping is perfect! :-)
Thank you so much Tanja!
SletI also love Take 41 sooo much LOL - and yes, I know you prefer creams for stamping ;)
I'm really surprised and happy to hear about Take 45 - I also really liked that combo!
I really like take 42 and 43 because of the colour combo :)
SvarSletThanks a lot - and I'm happy you like those two!
SletI love take 44. Colours are gorgeous.
SvarSletAwww, I'm pleased to hear that - thank you so much!
Slet#41 - Beautiful effect! The stamping appears to float over that polish! Love the image/polish combo (I hope you don't tire of hearing that from me.)
SvarSlet#42 - Yup. Been there done that. Beautiful colors though!!! :)
#43 - Can't win them all. Pretty colors to try again - maybe different pattern... Isn't it funny how after time goes by we often are happier than our initial reactions though.
#44 - Gorgeous combo again. Although - I don't think it is bad at all! I know technically maybe there are flaws, but it looks fantastic. Yet, I hear you on struggling with polishes for stamping. It can be hair-pulling! You're a trooper, I would have given up most likely.
#45 - How fascinating!!!! Wow!! That macro photo just slays me! Love the color/polish combo big time!!! My favorite of this bunch. :)
Keep them coming.... :)
Thank you so much Kim, I'm so happy you like Take 41 :)
SletLol, yes, I struggle with the cream polishes from Colour Alike, not their shimmers and duo/multichromes, I love those...
Thanks again - and yes, I have a lot more to post :D
I just realized I did all these comments with my personal google account...oops! These "Kim" comments are from me...my excuse, the sun isn't up here yet. LOL
SvarSletAhahaha, I thought I had a new follower that reminded me so much about you - so now I know why :D
Slet45 is my favorite, I just adore the color combo ❤️ I must try some of these Color alike stamping polishes. Great work Maria.
SvarSletThank you so much, I'm so happy to hear it!
