Then and Now Throwback Nails: Nautical Theme

I haven't done a then and now throwback nails for a while. It is interesting to look back at how much I have learned and improved upon over the past seven years of nail blogging.

Back in 2011 I did these nautical themed nails, looking at these I am pretty sure I freehanded the stripes as well as the anchors. Also these are that old I can't find the blog post I shared them in because I didn't tag things in a coherent way then!

Base Polish: Models Own - True Blue

Today I used striping tape to create a more straight line, although the top coat dragging is very frustrating! I also stamped both the the anchors rather than freehanding them.

Base Polish: Yes Love - L011
White Polish: Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Stamping Polish: MoYou - Special Nail Polish - White
Stamping Plates: Bundle Monster BM08, BM407

Striping Tape

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 08

This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. 

All of the designs stamp well, even the delicate chandler design. Out of the seven designs I think I like the anchor the best, which do you like?

You can see some of the nail designs I have done using this plate here if you like.
