GOT: Yellow

I don't remember when I got W7's Sheer Yellow, but I first posted some nails using it in September 2012. I decided to try out the dots within dots technique as it was something I was practising for the SIMPLES nail challenge.

Colour Me Crazy! Orange - BK - 20

A very summer appropriate nail polish! It is quite sheer, below is it swatched over a white base which really has helped it to pop. This is a jelly polish which would be great to put glitter in between layers or even stamp in between.

Finish: Jelly / Sheer
Opacity: Four Coats over white shown

Nails: Colourful French

These nails were a complete mistake, I did them for a tri-polish challenge however I mis-read the colours and so ended up with a random concoction which wasn't actual set out colours!

SIMPLES: Mixed Dots

The Crumpet has a new challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 6 and the task to master is the random dotticure method, I struggled with making the dots random and not in any design or order! Here are some of my examples:

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Nails Inc - New York Noir

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 304 (BM304)

Review-Bundle-Monster-304-BM304

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.

Review-Bundle-Monster-304-BM304

This particular plate has 2 full sized images and 6 single images. All of the images stamped across really well, and I like how its a bit different which is always good. Below is a design I did using this plate, although my colour choices need to be re-thought!
