#2014BloggerChallenge: Nails - Pink Corsets

I saw these nails on Wendy's Delights, she was actually doing a review of some nail transfers but I thought I would attempt doing these freehanded myself. It has been a long while since I did corset nails as well.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 224 (BM224)

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

Four full nail designs and two standard ones, all of these stamped well and I think I like the haunted house or the creepy pumpkin the most. I did try and use the swirl image before but I wasn't being creative enough and failed at making it look good. 

Swatch: Claire's - Dizzy (Neon Glitter)

Colour: Neon
Finish: Topper Glitter, various hex sizes
Opacity: Two coats above over white
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 10ml
Anything Else? There is a lot of base in this compared to glitter

GOT Nail Challenge: Chevrons

This week the challenge was chevrons, now I have done these before back in the summer of 2012 here, and more recently in October last year here. So for these nails to be relevant to this challenge the polish used has to be over a year old. 

I used OPI's Road House Blues which I got in October 2011.

Base Polish: OPI - Road House Blues
Stamping Polish: Maybelline - Cool Blue
