26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Red and Pink - Smear for Smear

I am a little early with my nail art for the Smear for Smear campaign. However I think the nails also tie in with the pink / red themed challenge for 26 great nail art ideas.

The idea is during 22nd - 28th January it is smear for smear week, whereby people in the UK raise awareness for how important it is to get your cervical screening test done, as uncomfortable and embarrassing as it is. People who have a cervix need to get them checked! Sera worded the importance much better than I could (read it here).

Traditionally you smear your lipstick and post a selfie, me being a nail art person started with a light pink base and stamped some red lips on to my nails and then smeared those with acetone.

Base Polishes: 
A England - The Beggars Maid
Leighton Denny - Leading Lady
Stamping Polish: Barry M - Pomegranate
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 303

Black Striping Tape

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 303 (BM303)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

This plate has 2 full nail images and 4 single nail images. I had problems getting the butterfly to stamp as it seems to be such a delicate design.

Here is a design I did using this plate:

ABC Challenge: W is for Wub

What with it being the week of love and all that cheesy stuff what a perfect excuse to do some 'wub' nails.
