I like this kind of post...Great job, my dear Maria!<br />I like this kind of posts, with your "notes to myself" and so on. You post so many things that IMHO you should post once a week this post so everyone (me, at least) can keep track of your work :D much love <3*Ky* ilmiobeautycasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829096194330741258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-70535463479817406862016-05-11T19:43:39.717+02:002016-05-11T19:43:39.717+02:00LOL, twice a day, sorry about that :D
Thank you s...LOL, twice a day, sorry about that :D<br /><br />Thank you so much for your reply and all your thoughts.<br />Well I am hard on myself, I know, but my mum was too, so I guess I never really feel I'm good enough hahahaha<br />I love naming manicures, so I probably eventually will do that when it no longer makes sense to number them... <br />Aww, I'm so pleased 19 is your favorite too - I had a lucky day LOLMarias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-83604421331166577372016-05-09T17:25:41.337+02:002016-05-09T17:25:41.337+02:00Catching up again... (really, if I don't look ...Catching up again... (really, if I don't look at your blog at least four times a day, I have so many posts waiting for me I can hardly catch up at all ;)<br /><br />But I wanted to answer your questions as I LOVE seeing you improve, although I have to admit I'm kind of envious at the speed you are learning. It took me ages to get as far as you did in mere days :)<br />So... my answers:<br /><br />1, 2 and 3) I like seeing your posts but I like the passion and fun you have doing your nails even more so please do what feels right to you. If that means a stamping manicure each day, fine. If it means once a week a post of 10 manicures, fine as well :)<br /><br />4) I like reading your notes. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I think you're too hard on yourself. Again, if you want to add your notes, please do. If you don't, that's fine (sheesh, I'm repeating myself a lot ;)<br /><br />5) For me naming a manicure is usually the hardest part of an entire post so numbering them is really smart but it makes it harder to search for a specific manicure... so I'm going to say it again: please do what you feel is best for you.<br /><br />And the extra question: please post what you feel like posting. I post all my manicures, even the failures, but I don't do even 10% of the amount of manicures you do so I can imagine you end up showing just the best ones. Again, that's up to you :)<br /><br />Last but not least my favourite: take 19 is so you and just reading how happy you were with it, makes me smile so that's the one I like best :)Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327177858756987827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-45003323305232603522016-05-09T17:16:56.989+02:002016-05-09T17:16:56.989+02:00Ah, I'm happy to hear it, I would have liked i...Ah, I'm happy to hear it, I would have liked it if it actually was possible to see the pattern...Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-58965384664989710192016-05-09T17:16:11.720+02:002016-05-09T17:16:11.720+02:00LOL - happy to hear it!LOL - happy to hear it!Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-33900717347448289522016-05-09T16:34:52.396+02:002016-05-09T16:34:52.396+02:00Well - what do you know - you just gave me an &quo...Well - what do you know - you just gave me an "A-hah!" moment.

I simply love 20 ...My favourites are 19 and 20 :-) <br />I simply love 20 not only because the stamping is perfect, but also because of that gorgeous base colour and beautiful final effect it makes with stamping polish colour :-)<br /><br />As you know that I got addicted to stamping, for me it's great pleasure seeing good stamping manicures (and your stamping manicures are surely very, very good!!!) also 3-4-5 days a week or as often as you're inspired to make them! :-)<br /><br />I think that "Note to myself" is useful thing, because all of us can learn something and get new informations about stamping problems and how to resolve them :-) <br /><br />Also one manicure per post is OK, but I think that there will be more manicures per post, knowing how hard you work and how addicted you'll become! :-) But, it's a beautiful addiction! :-)<br /><br />About naming your stamping manicures... I simply don't have any clever solution, unfortunately I have problems with naming my manicures and names of all my manicures are boring... :-( So, I hope that other girls will have some interesting suggestions! :-)<br /><br />I wish you a lot of new happy dances, I'm sure there will be a plenty of them! :-)<br />Raggio di Lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332581709426469231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-88413224542727016392016-05-07T19:01:47.179+02:002016-05-07T19:01:47.179+02:0017,19,20...Your stamping like a pro hun! <317,19,20...Your stamping like a pro hun! <3Nailfamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296885059674778266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-84958237399323380552016-05-07T13:53:27.777+02:002016-05-07T13:53:27.777+02:00Oh I forgot the stamp on paper - that is never for...Oh I forgot the stamp on paper - that is never for testing combos, it's merely practicing pick up with different stampers and scraping/stamping technique/pressure to get a good solid feel of it.<br />For polish combos I also use one of my stamping mats - and find that works for me...Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-45548031811915516182016-05-07T13:44:43.062+02:002016-05-07T13:44:43.062+02:00Oh woow - thank you for your long and thorough rep...Oh woow - thank you for your long and thorough reply and thoughts, I really appreciate your time <3<br />I'm so happy you like Take 19 and 20, so do I - especially Take 19 - it's my pride and joy LOL<br /><br />I think the idea of posting some in one post and others as individual pots sounds like a really good plan!<br /><br />Yes, I look forward to trying out all the techniques in stamping as I progress - and maybe even come up with new ideas...<br /><br />I think it's because this is a long weekend for many people (Christian holiday Thursday, many take one day of Friday) and go away for a long weekend, because normally I get a lot of comments. But there is a risk that some posts do not show up in feeds, unfortunately I have experienced that a couple of times within the last 2 months.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouraging words - at this time and moment I really need them, I need to know that at least someone out there finds what I do worth seeing/reading :)Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-88748440406278448142016-05-07T13:37:18.275+02:002016-05-07T13:37:18.275+02:00Yes, I understand, and I also wouldn't feel co...Yes, I understand, and I also wouldn't feel comfortable posting more than twice daily-<br />Thanks for your thoughts!Marias Nail Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047652885445510297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-48331144341762066252016-05-07T10:33:08.187+02:002016-05-07T10:33:08.187+02:00Hooray, hooray for your experienced successes!! (I...Hooray, hooray for your experienced successes!! (I'm sorry, but I did get a good chuckle from the highs and lows - back down to earth now -LOL! It is sooo true.)<br /><br />Love take 19 & 20 - your color/design combinations are beautiful!! I liked the orange & green too - but understand that it looked different on the nail. I've never practiced on paper - I've always used something less absorbent such as clear plastic plates, silicone mats (I bought baby place mats before all these branded ones have come on the scene). I also have all of my stamping polishes swatched on clear sticks so that I can hold them over the stick of the base I want to put them on, I've heard some folks use a plastic baggy to stamp on and then hold it over the polished nail.<br /><br />Love the re-name to stamping journey - I feel that all of my efforts in nail art of any kind has been a journey for me because I had never even painted my nails until just a couple months before blogging. <br /><br />OK - your questions:<br />I enjoy these posts, definitely including your "notes to yourelf". Whether you post multiple designs or just one in a post I think is really up to you and what you want to highlight.<br />Probably at some point the number won't really matter...but for your notekeeping and referencing in comments when there are multiple - it is helpful.<br />Maybe as time goes on, you'll post some of your more favorite (successes) as a post to themselves, but then maybe a few times a month post the "Behind the scenes" look at your trials/errors of your stamping journey. I'd hate to see you lose that niche' you have going.<br /><br />Oh - and lastly - I just love the husband comment. It's always so fun to get their opinions as they are usually coming from the opposite of our intended audience. I completely understand his opinion that your freehand painted art was (is) just fantastic...but I also know that you're going to soar with stamping techniques and methods (I'm guessing stamping decals/reverse stamping/lead lighting appeals to you as something to do at some point in your stamping journey). And you can always go back and forth with freehand and stamping - no rules. :) <br /><br />So, those are all my thoughts for now. Don't get discouraged by lack of comments. I have found, and I think others will agree, it's hard to figure out the rhyme/reason why some posts get more than others. For myself, I try to blame something out of my control - such as timing to when people are "plugged in" which no matter what the tracking statistics programs want you to believe, there is no "perfect" time/day. So - keep doing what you're doing. We're here. :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092075839022688709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976574791961522768.post-73029450648557093512016-05-05T22:06:49.465+02:002016-05-05T22:06:49.465+02:00I honestly don't mind which days you post what...I honestly don't mind which days you post what, I just think you should post when you feel like it. <br />I don't mind how many either, but I think I'd rather like 5 manis in one post than 5 posts with one mani each (on the same day), if you know what I mean :) <br />I like the "note to self"-part!<br />Number or no numbers is not important to me :)Rainbowify Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639047387528789127noreply@blogger.com
