Winter Nail Challenge: Winter Nature

I had this idea floating around my head for a few weeks but seemed to be lacking the motivation to get it from my imagination on to the nails. Glad I finally did though, the holographic glitter really makes it look like it is snowing.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 208 (BM208)

bundle-monster-208-BM208-review-stamping-plate

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. 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 branded plates. Then again I am very clumsy.

There are three full nail images on this plate and three single images. For me five of them stamped well but I did have problems with the bottom left image. I particularly like the fishnet image as doing that free hand is difficult, as is using striping tape to create such a look.
