Stamped - Nails Inc Lanesborough Place

Tri-Polish Challenge - March Part 1 - Green, Purple, Coral

As soon as I heard about this challenge I wanted in!  This Tri-Polish challenge is being hosted by the lovely Debbie The Crumpet and the rules are pretty straight forward:

• Each month Crumpet's Nail Tarts will set 3 colours for the challenge. You then choose 1 polish to represent each of those 3 colours. You must stick to those same 3 polishes throughout the entire challenge
• You must stick to those polishes and cannot change which polish represents which colour.
• Each Challenge Day, you must use at least 2 of these 3 polishes in your mani. You must also use all 3 polishes at least once.
• You also have free use of white, black, silver, gold and glitter toppers
• There is no theme (that was a Brucey bonus for me!)
• There are 4 posts in the challenge, on the Tuesday and Thursday of the 3rd and 4th week of the month

March - Green, Purple Coral

I didn't use green for this mani and used Bundle Monster Plate 221.  I used Coral as the base colour and stamped with purple which looks a cerise pink on top of the coral.

These are the 3 polishes I'll be using in March, MUA Shade 13, Funky Fingers Riot, Wet n Wild Blazed

Christmas Stamping Fail

My Christmas mani of Cutex Red She Said base with white snowflakes (Bundle Monster Plate 323) was going so well.....until I put the top coat on and it dragged the stamped image across my nails.  Looks OK from a distance but with close up shots it looks pretty awful.  I conferred with fellow stampers and received great tips on applying the top coat, ie apply good dollop of top coat, make sure the brush doesn't touch the nail, don't drag the topcoat with the brush, wait a long while for the stamping polish to dry.  Practice will make perfect, just a shame I ruined it quicker than the time it took to do it.  To the pics......

Nails Inc Haymarket and Bundle Monster Plate 221

Do you ever go from one extreme to the other with your manis?  Last mani was cream with pale glitter and now it's turquoise with a bit of leopard print thrown in.  Well here goes, the lovely Nails Inc (my fave) Haymarket, which I then tarted up with the leopard print from Bundle Monster Plate 221, then tipped with black.  Hmmmmm what to do next????

 Bobs doesn't look too impressed
