Stamping Plate: Born Pretty 91

I bought this stamping plate myself. It is a traditional round shape that comes with a blue protective sticker and backed with branded backing. It has 11 smaller nail images and one full sized nail image.

All of the images have stamped across easily and I have used it in two sets of nails;

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Red Skittle

Originally I did these nails in 2010, not difficult to recreate but I think I have improved my painting technique. I didn't still have the original polishes used but used similar ones.

Topic Tuesday: What's The Biggest Factor When Buying Nail Polish?

Other than the obvious, do I like it I think about the price as I don't want to be spending more than £15 on one polish. Secondly I am trying to purchase only vegan and cruelty free polishes this year.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Nail Art Technique

I would like to be good at freehand nail art but would need a lot more practice! So my favourite technique would be stamping because it can look good on both hands.

  

Nail Art: Night Sky

I wore the base polish for a few days and thought it almost looked like a night sky.
