31 Day Challenge: Day 7-Black and White Nails

Black and white is one of my favorite color combos ever! And my favorite black and white pattern? Damask! I'm obsessed. None of my plates have a damask pattern that I like, so I decided to try to make plate. At work, we have a laser engraver, so I played around with different settings to make one :)

Unfortunately our engraver isn't powerful enough to engrave metal. The only other material we had that was non-absorbent was plastic. This is obviously not the best to use because acetone eats it away, but it's all I've found as of yet :/ I used several different settings to experiment with and the last one was the most successful. When I did my right hand, I scraped a little too vigorously and took a layer off the stamp. Now it looks kinda vintage-y lol. Anyways, I'm super pleased with my first stamp on my right hand :D I used two coats Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White and L.A. Colors black (my favorite black for stamping) all topped with Seche Vite.
