Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Gothic Collection 04

 I bought this stamping plate in September 2014, I hadn't gotten around to reviewing it until now.

This plate is rectangle and has a selection of Halloween / Gothic images on it, 12 full nail images. All of the images stamp across well, and here are some nails I have done using the plate;

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Purple Half Moons

These nails were originally done in August 2010, so 11 years ago.

I don't think with these nails there is a massive difference between the two, I haven't done half moons in a long time and I also hadn't used the Stargazer polish in years. Used the same dark purple polish but a different lighter polish as I didn't still have the original.

Nail Polish Swatch: Barry M - Hot Chilli (Summer 2021 Gellys)

Barry M released a range of six gelly polishes for Summer 2021. I have compared this one to previous gelly polishes. I don't think they are actual dupes of any others but they are very similar. Hot Chilli is most like Blood Orange but slightly lighter.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Shade of Blue Polish

After looking through my polishes I think right now my favourite blue polish is Tonic Polish Dragons at Dusk. The polish is a darker, navy base with a duochrome, purple and cyan.

Nail Polish Swatch: Tonic Polish - Dragons at Dusk

Dragons at Dusk is one of Tonic Polish's best sellers, it is a very shifty duochrome polish and as such I have struggled to take a photo showing all three of the main shifts.
