Nerd Nail Challenge: Star Trek

Only a couple of more challenges left for the nail nerd challenge and I am yet to have seen any of these shows. Today is no different, the prompt is Star Trek and I haven't seen that either.

Swatch: W7 - Black (33 Day Challenge: Most Used Polish)

Within my stash of nail polish the most used colour and specifically most used polish would be W7's Black polish. I use this for a base, or on its own, and for stamping with, and so this is a swatch of the polish.

Sunday Stamping: Autumn

I really don't think these nails worked, I tried to do a stamping gradient which probably would have worked if I hadn't also done a gradient of similar colours as the base.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 201 (BM201)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. 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 branded plates.

There are six images on this stamping plate, four full nail images and two solo images. As you can see they stamped really well, the rainbow was the only one I had minor issues with but I have used it before on my nails and it stamped well.
