Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Purple, Pink and Red #3

This is the forth month of a nail challenge which I am participating in, basically you are set three colours and you select three polishes to represent each. Four days, four different manicures using said polishes. Want to join in, then click here. I ended up doing this for the third challenge:

I also used W7 Black and Stamping Plate BM05

These are the three polishes which are to be used for these challenges. Do expect to see three more for this month. ELF's Purple Dream, Color Club's Poptastic and Essie's Snap Happy.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Ice Cream

After seeing One Nail to Rule Them All doing a feature called 'Then and Now' I thought I would have a look back at some of the so called nail art I did when I first began. Back in the summer of 2010 I did some mint choc chip ice cream nails, and so this was the perfect design for me to try and recreate.

Then - 2010

Now

I wish I'd have chosen a different coloured background because it sort of melts in with the ice cream. Also I  think I made the waffle cone much more complicated than it really needed to be. 

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 13

 This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is exceptionally handy, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms. 

As you can see all of the images stamped really well and are easy to use. I quite like the ladybird, spiderweb and spider. If you were wanting to see some other designs I have used this plate in then feel free to click here.
