Are you ready for Easter? How about we get in the mood for bunnies and chocolate with some stamping! Today I am sharing a tutorial that I created for Bundle Monster using a couple of their Easter and Spring stamping plates BUT the best part is that Bundle Monster provided me doubles of all products used that I am giving away to all my followers! Yaaaaaayyyyy! The giveaway is at the end of this post, you will be able to enter here many different ways and you can also enter over on Instagram, check out my page: @twi_star and @bundlemonster for details.
For this mani I used a
technique called reverse stamping.
Reverse stamping is when you leave the image stamped on your stamper and
paint it in before applying to your nail.
Sounds complicated right? Well
guess what?! If you have stamping
experience, it’s not! And I’ve laid out
all the steps so you can recreate this mani with links to all the Bundle
Monster polishes, stampers, and plates used. Shall we get started?
Here are all the
products you will need to complete the look, if you enter the giveaway at the

toothpick) are from Bundle

Miscellaneous Items
- Scrap paper or wax paper
- Dotting tool or toothpick
- Base coat
- Top Coat
Step 1 – Apply your base coat, once dry apply Bundle
Monster Sky Blue Nail Stamping Lacquer to all nails as your base
color. This polish is very pigmented so
I only needed 1 coat for full opacity!
Let dry, if you only needed 1 coat it should dry quickly.
Step 2 – Take your wax paper or scrap paper and put a few spots of Bundle Monster Lucky Green Nail Stamping Lacquer onto it. On your middle and ring fingers, make a stripe along the free edge of your nail and then make little upward dashes for blades of grass. The nice part about this step is it’s ok if it’s not perfect! Let dry.
Step 3 – The first nail we will stamp is the ring finger using
plate
BM-302. Apply a strip of Bundle
Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of the
bunny, scrape, and pick up image with stamper.
Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in the bunny using Bundle
Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer. Try not to paint outside of the white lines
so that the pink does not show outside of the image lines. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but
maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like
you normally stamp. Once on the nail the
bunny should look like a decal and be fully painted in!
Step 4 – We will do the same as above but using a different plate for the middle nail image. Using plate BM-H10 apply a strip of Bundle Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of the bunny, scrape, and pick up image with stamper. Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in the bunny’s ears using Bundle Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer. Since it’s such a small portion of pink painted in, I didn’t show it. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like you normally stamp.
Step 5 – Using plate BM-302 apply a strip of Bundle Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of the flower image, scrape, and pick up image with stamper. Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in the flowers using Bundle Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like you normally stamp. Repeat this step for the pinky nail.
Step 4 – We will do the same as above but using a different plate for the middle nail image. Using plate BM-H10 apply a strip of Bundle Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of the bunny, scrape, and pick up image with stamper. Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in the bunny’s ears using Bundle Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer. Since it’s such a small portion of pink painted in, I didn’t show it. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like you normally stamp.
Step 5 – Using plate BM-302 apply a strip of Bundle Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of the flower image, scrape, and pick up image with stamper. Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in the flowers using Bundle Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like you normally stamp. Repeat this step for the pinky nail.
Step 6 – Using plate
BM-H10 apply a strip of Bundle
Monster Angelic White Nail Stamping Lacquer white polish to the top of
Easter egg image, scrape, and pick up image with stamper. Leave the stamp on the stamper and paint in
the eggs using Bundle
Monster Electric Pink Nail Stamping Lacquer, Bundle
Monster Lucky Green Nail Stamping Lacquer, and Bundle
Monster Sunshine Yellow Nail Stamping Lacquer. Let dry, it does not need to be fully dry but
maybe about 5 mins. Apply to nail like
you normally stamp.
Step 7 – Add top coat of your choice and let dry. You’re all done!

Good Luck!
This is a really cool tutorial! Very well explained! Pretty much how I do advanced or reversed stamping or whatever it's called lol! I was using top coat to make a decal but that used to mess up the design. Now I just make sure my top coat is slightly tacky and it seems to transfer okay...though that doesn't help with my placement.... ;)
ReplyDeleteYes! I realized quickly that I didn't need to use top coat to make a decal. Like you said if I use a super glossy top coat and its fresh then the reverse stamping sticks to it. I will usually apply top coat and then paint the decal on the stamper and by the time the decal is dried on the stamper my top coat on the base color is dry enough but still tacky! Thank you!
