SIMPLES: Watercolour

The Crumpet has a challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 10 is upon us and the task to master is a technique called 'watercolour' which is you dilute the polish with acetone, spreading the polish around so it looks a bit like water colour art. Here are my examples:

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 311 (BM311)

Review-Bundle-Monster-311-BM311

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. 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 stamping plates.

On this stamping plate there are four full nail images, and two single images. All of these stamped well. Below are some nails I did using this plate:

GOT: Brown

Because the 'petals' were an iridescent polish they didn't show up too well with a holographic topcoat on top. Today's Golden Oldie Thursday challenge is the last one, the brown polish I used was ELF's Chocolate which I originally got around June 2010, although I have repurchased it since then.
