Swatch: Nails Inc - Optic Wave (2015)

Nails Inc and Colgate recently got together again, when you bought the toothpaste you got a free nail polish. The deal was going on in the UK in Boots. This time around there are three polish choices, this one - a vivid blue cream, a baby pink cream and a orange based red cream.

While this years polishes have the same names as last year the colours (red and blue) are different. I don't know about the pink one. You can see 2014's Optic Wave here.

Colour: Cobalt Blue
Finish: Cream
Opacity: Two Coats
Brush Type? Standard
How Much? 10ml

Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Sailor Collection 01

The plate itself comes in a cardboard slip, and as with other MoYou London plates it comes backed with thick plastic which stops the sharp edges.

The plate itself is 12.5cm by 6.5cm and comes with a blue plastic protective covering which you remove before using.

This is the images stamped on to paper, I used Barry M's Blue Chameleon for stamping. All of the images stamped crisp and cleanly first time.

Pick n' Mix 52 Week Challenge: Neon + Indie

I was completely inspired by Madam Luck's nails I saw on her instagram, and while I don't think my version worked as well as hers, sometimes it is good to try something you wouldn't usually.

I used Polished by KPT - Color Therapy, which is an indie polish which happens to also be a neon. I prefer it over a black base, and it is also UV.

Stamping Plate: MoYou - 70

 

This stamping plate is backed with branded paper, which means it doesn't have sharp edges which is always good from someone as clumsy as me! This particular plate is sailor themed.



MoYou 70 has seven individual images on it, they all stamped relatively well. The anchor was the image I had the most problems with getting a clean stamp. That said they all stamped first time as shown below.
