52 Week Challenge: Inspired by a Book

This week's prompt is 'Inspired by a Book' today's nails are inspired by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. The bubbles on my thumb are from the heatwave we had in the UK, although I think it works with nautical themed nails.

Here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version;

Stamping Plate: Beauty Big Bang - XL 001

I don't remember when I bought this plate but at some point in 2019.

It comes hard plastic backed with a blue protective sticker over the plate. It is rectangle shaped and designed for longer nails with 14 full nail images on it.

I've used the plate a few different times now and each time the images stamped across well;

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Summer Stamping Plate

So far this year I seem to have been reaching for XL-001 from Beauty Big Bang. It is a rectangle plate with large images which are good for longer nails. It has fruit, shells and leaves on it.

 

  

Stamping Plate: Beauty Big Bang XL-001

I think I bought this plate at some point during early 2020. I don't have a lot of Beauty Big Bang plates but the ones I have used are well etched and easy to use.

The plate is backed with thick, hard plastic and is rectangle shaped. It has 14 full nail images on, they are longer in lengths which works on longer nails. All the images stamped across well.

I'm pretty sure in my 10 years of nail blogging I haven't done raspberry nails, strawberries a couple of times. Also I really need to work of my top coat application!
