Review: Stamping Plate - M73
This stamping plate is from KKcenterHk, and it came very well packaged. All bubble wrapped and in a brown envelope. Both the stamping plate and the stamper and scraper came in individual packaging which was nice.
The plate itself was not lined on the back so you do have to be careful not to accidently cut yourself as some of the edges can be sharp. There is nine different images on it five are floral and then there are some feet, cherries, a frog and a wasp.
The stamper itself is nice and soft which is great for full nail images, and of course works perfectly with the single images.
Scraper included in this set is made fully of plastic, which is good as I prefer plastic because then it doesn't scratch the image plate.
Do the images transfer?
As you can see yes they do. Only one I had a slight problem with was the bottom right flower and I think that was just my technique. And why didn't I stamp the cherries? Lets look at some nails I wore recently.

Some of the stamping leaves a little to be desired but again that is down to me not quite having mastered the art of stamping in two different colours!
The white background set the cherries off well, but I do need to try again with a different colour.

Comparison: Gosh Holographic V's Gosh Holographic Hero
Is it a exact copy of the previous GOSH Holographic?
I managed to find a bottle of the new polish and along with the old version thought it would be useful to do a comparison of the two.
Bottle comparison shot
Bottles look relatively similar, both containing 8ml
Indoors under a LED light?
Direct sunlight?
I do think there is a difference, GOSH holographic seems to have smaller holographic flare and gives a better holographic effect than the newer one. But the difference is slight and to the non-lacquer head unnoticeable. If you already have the original then you don't need the new holographic hero, other than for a back up!
Holographic Hero is nice enough with a good holographic effect, however not as good as the original.

From what they are saying I think they are implying that it is the same polish just relaunched. I personally see a slight difference, but perhaps I got a dodgy bottle?

52 Week Challenge: Week 43 - French
French manicures can be quite boring, but nothing a little glitter can spruce up. I first did the colour contrast French part but wasn't quite good enough for a challenge nail attempt so I used the glitter to fix that.
Nail Tips: ELF - Black
Color Club - Fuchsia
Glitter: Barry M - Jewel Britannia
Swatch: Kleancolor - Metallic Sapphire (165)
I got this for stamping with and it does work quite well. It will however stain anything and everything within about a 50 mile radius! It is also a PITA to remove when worn like this.
Opacity: One coater
Finish: Metallic
How Much? 15ml
Brush Type: Standard
Anything Else? Smells BAD

Summer Nail Challenge: Seaside
For me a trip to the seaside is all about the view. All about the sand, the feel of it. The sounds of the water lapping against the shore, or even splashing against the rocks as it usually is here. The smell of the ocean and the air. Back to basics, and back to another form of nature.
