Back when I wore kimono regularly, I used to love matching my nails to my outfits. Obviously in recent years that’s gone out the window, but when Maniology released a set of very clearly kimono-inspired stamping plates I knew I had to give them a shot. Nothing wrong with having a fresh set even if they don’t match your outfit, right?<\/p>\n
I knew I wanted to make a set that match this blog, so of course I grabbed the Sashiko Stitch<\/a> plate. I also fell in love with the Draped in Elegance<\/a> plate that featured a variety of kimono design motifs.<\/p>\n Where possible, I have linked to the polishes I used. However, I’ve been hoarding<\/del> collecting nail polish nearly as long as I’ve been hoarding<\/del> collecting kimono so many of these colours are no longer available. In one case the brand doesn’t even exist anymore! I do recommend getting a good white polish if you plan to use it for stamping, especially over dark colours, but the selection for the yuzen-style manicure has a ton of room for interpretation.<\/p>\n
