Topic Tuesday: Favourite None Stamping Polishes

I really like using Barry M Silver Foil Effect and Ebalay Rose Gold 004 depending on whether I want a silver or a golden stamped effect.

 

  

Stamping Plate: Nicole Diary L20 - from Born Pretty Store [#48670]*

Nicole Diary L20 is a larger sized plate, 145mm by 950mm. It comes with a blue protective sticker over the top of the plate, it is backed with branded logos.

The plate has a selection of full nail images and smaller images, the theme of the plate is primarily of dandelions. All of the images I have used stamped across well.

Here is some nail art I have done using this plate;

Nails: Purple Foils

So my 2020 nail goals were to use more foils, and this is the first time this year I have tried to use them. Clearly I need more practice! I need to get them to lie smoother and make sure the foils are fully stick down at the edges.

I bought the Galaxy Foils from Born Pretty Store in March.

  

Topic Tuesday: Top 3 Worst Manicure Habits

1) I don't paint super close to the cuticle, but I change my nail polish that often I don't think it looks too bad. Plus makes clean up easier!

2) I seem to gravitate towards the same kind of polishes and keep buying very similar ones.

3) I have been known to spill nail glue on furniture and clothes and destroy it. I barely use it these days because of my clumsiness.
