I was pretty happy with the result and although it's not perfect, I think it works. My base polish is Jordana Fairy Dust (which I love!) and it has a crazy gorgeous holo effect in the sunlight. The day I wore this, there was someone driving next to me on a super sunny day, when we got to a red light, he was like "I really like your finger nails!". So random. A lady who I was talking to asked me to show her my nails, she thought they were acrylics...
Overall, my fear for stamping tips is decreasing, slowly, but decreasing.
