Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Pink, Grey and Brown #1

This is the first of the Tri-Polish Challenge I will be doing this year. This month the colours are Pink, Grey and Brown. If you want to join or want to know more about this then you can do here.

I chose to use Barry M Buzz, La Femme Grey Cream 100 and ELF Smoky Brown.

Really bad stamping job on my part, this was because without the topcoat the stamped image didn't show up over the brown.

Polishes used:
Barry M Buzz
La Femme Grey Cream 100
ELF Smoky Brown.

Back in 2012 I did some nails quite similar to these, you can see those here if you are interested.

Nails: #SignOfLove

#SignOfLove

"In June of 2013, Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a bill that banned ‘propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations to minors'. This means that in Russia, if you belong to the LGBTQ community, it is illegal to 'propagate' your sexual orientation as it is deemed a violation of Russian law and 'traditional' sexual relations.

There is no legal definition of the term ‘propaganda’ and the ambiguity associated with the term only serves to increase cultural anxieties so that many people who agree with Putin’s ban have taken the law into their own hands, subjecting LGBTQ communities to violence and crime

How you can help?

We believe in love for everyone, between everyone. As part of our Sign of Love campaign, Lush are creating photo petition books which we will send to Russian embassies worldwide on the 14th February – the international day of love. Show your solidarity by uploading a photo of yourself painted with a pink triangle, using pink lipstick, then share your #SignofLove via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram"

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 218 (BM218)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. 

This plate is all french tip designs, all of the images stamped well. Again this isn't one that I have actually used in nail designs but if you liked french tipped designs then I can see these really working well.
