Stamping Plate: Konad S10

Another stamping plate review today, a plate that I have owned since 2014.


There isn't much to this plate, it's a traditional circle shaped one with seven small images on. That said it was one of the first stamping plates I owned and they all do stamp across well, even with a traditional Konad stamping head.

Coming in to Summer and I think Orly Glowstick is a good yellow, it is pretty bright, highlighter yellow.

Nail Polish Swatch: ILNP - Eclipse (Holo)

I got the regular Eclipse last year and liked it so much (it won my 2020 nail polish of the year) I thought I would try the holographic version. The polish is quite beautiful, however I think I prefer the standard version more because the holographic particles almost take away something from the super shifty base.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Lilac Animal Print

Originally I did these nails in 2010 and then again in 2013, plenty of time has passed and thought I would try again. My nails are now longer and a different shape to previously, the stamped image doesn't quite look right as it is too short for my nails.

Topic Tuesday: Top Thermal Polishes


I don't have lots of thermal polishes but at the moment I like Prism Polish's New Year New Meh, makes for a good nail art base.

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.
