Nails: Sea Horse Nail Jewellery

For today's nails I sponged some La Femme Skyblue over Maybelline Cool Blue to get a sea sort of texture. I then stuck a little sea horse from Hex Jewellery to my ring finger.

Swatch: Look Beauty Nail Pop - Pearl Effect 20

This is the second of the two Look Beauty Nail Pop's which I currently own, there are a couple of others I like the look of but for now I own this Pearl Effect top coat which is a blue flakie. Along with Sequin Effect which is a orange / green duochrome flakie topcoat. Again I have swatched this over a black cremé polish.

This is very similar if not a dupe for Maybelline Cosmic Flash and Claire's Iridescent.

I think it looks quite nice with a matte topcoat.

Nails: Mint Crocodile

I began these nails with a very, very subtle gradient which you can barely see!

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 18

bundle-monster-BM18-stamping-plate-review-over-view

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.

This plate is one which is french tips rather than solo images or full nail images. I found all of these to stamp really well although I am yet to use them as I haven't mastered the french tip stamping technique yet! If and when I do then you can see some other designs I have used this plate in then feel free to click here.
