Tuesday's Talons: Purple Flash

Currently watching: The Women

Good morning girls,

Today I'd like to show you a manicure with some subtle stamping.

 I started with a coat of H&M Purple Flash.  Yep, one coat was all I needed to achieve this opaque finish.

 I love this shade, it's such a pretty metallic.

 Purple and gold always look great together so I decided to stamp a swirly fern pattern using Barry M Gold Foil and Bundle Monster plate BM20.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Laura

Friday's Fingers: Crystal Stars

Currently reading: The Third Time He Left Me by Sarah Harris

Hello dear readers,

Isn't it always the way that the manicures you are most excited about are the ones that do not photograph well?  This is the type of manicure I have today.

 

 The source of my trouble is No7 Crystal Lilac, a sheer yet buildable pink duochrome.  I don't wear it often but whenever it's on my nails I absolutely love it and the variety of tones hidden in that polish.

 In real life, Crystal Lilac was darker on my nails than it appears here but not as dark a shade of purple as the bottle shows.

After adding a coat of Barry M Diamond Glitter, I decided the perfect finishing touch would be silver stars.

 The stars were stamped using Barry M Silver Foil and Bundle Monster plate BM20.  I love this design and I can't wait to try it again in a whole host of colours.

What do you think girls?

Bye for now,

Laura

Monday's Manicure

Currently watching: Glee Season One, as per usual

Good evening girls!

Did you all have a good weekend? Has your week started well?

Today I'd like to show you a manicure I did using one of the old Bundle Monster plates which I hadn't used before, BM20.

My base is Simply Pink by Boots 17

I stamped using Eyeko Tea Rose Polish

I forgot how problematic some of the images from the old plates could be to work with. It was near on impossible to get a clean image on my stamper so the results are deeply flawed unfortunately.

What do you think girls? Do you still use the old Bundle Monster plates or have you switched to the new ones?

Bye for now,
Laura
