Born Pretty Store Nail Art Stamping Round & Rectangular Plate Holder Set

I'm getting a fairly healthy stash of stamping plates, however, they are all crammed into one box and in no order which makes it difficult to choose the plate I want.  So I finally got some stamping plate holders from Born Pretty Store.  The holders can be bought individually or as a set of 2, one is for large rectangular plates and one for small round plates.  The outer covers are bright Barbie pink.  The large rectangular holder has 20 sleeves which can hold up to 40 plates if putting 2 plates back to back in each sleeve.  The small round holder has 10 sleeves and holds up to 20 plates.  They fasten with a silver tone popper and the strap is long enough to accommodate the holders being completely full.  Now I can organise my stamping plates and easily see which one I want, giving me more time for stamping.
Size: Rectangular: large enough to hold BP-L plates with size of 12.5cmx 6.5cm, and according to the Born Pretty Store website it can also hold plates from brands such as MoYou London or Bundle monster or any brand that does not exceed the measurements above.
Round: large enough to hold plates with size of 5.5cm, such as the Born Pretty round plates

Holographic Nails - Holographic Pigment from Nicole Diary

PRESS SAMPLE
I have the most amazing holographic nails to show you using pigment powders from Nicole Diary.  I've been in awe of YouTube demonstrations showing the pigment applied to cured gel nails.  I don't often wear gel polish, preferring regular nail polish as I change my nail colour daily.  However when Nicole Diary asked me if I'd like to try the holographic pigment I jumped at the chance.  I already had a gel base coat and purchased a no wipe top coat from Ebay for a few quid.
First I applied a peel off base coat for easy removal of the gel polish.  I then painted and cured a clear gel base coat, painted regular black nail polish, applied and cured a no wipe gel top coat and then the fun began.  The 1g pot of holo pigment comes with a sponge applicator, I used a very small amount using the sponge applicator and rubbed onto my nails.  The holographic magic took seconds to appear, truly amazing and mesmerising.  I applied another layer of gel top coat to seal in the holographic pigment.  And unlike holographic nail polish where the holo usually only appears under bright light or sunshine, the holo pigment can be seen regardless of how light it is.  I can't stop looking at my nails, I love the effect and it was much easier and more impressive than I imagined.
The holographic pigment can be used over any colour, I used a black base, check out my video demonstration further down.
The holographic pigment from Nicole Diary at Amazon and available singularly at Aliexpress.

AVON Mosaic Effects Top Coat - Gold Glimmer

Avon Mosaic Effects top coat is a shatter/crackle effect and is used as a topper with a contrast base colour.  Over a dark base (Avon Nailwear Pro+ Midnight) I applied one coat of the Mosaic Gold Glimmer and within seconds you see the effect take place.  You must make sure the base colour is completely dry or else the top coat won't do it's magic and make the mosaic pattern.  A thin coat will create lots of small striations while a thick coat will give less but deeper striations (see my thumb nail).  The mosaic top coat dries quickly and mattes down, however apply a clear top coat the the gold shimmer is gorgeous.  Not only do you achieve a unique patterned mani it's great fun to apply and observe.  I'm not an Avon Rep and have no affiliation with them what so ever, I just want to share this well know effect with you.  12ml bottle. 
To the pics and check out my video at the bottom for a demonstration.......
