Nails: St. Patrick's Day 2014

Way back in 2011 I did some St. Patrick's Day nails (here and here) then I did some Pot of Gold ones in 2012. That brings us to last year and the nails that I did were a little bit of a stamping disaster here. Finally these are my 2014 St. Patrick's Day Nails:

Base Polish: Ciate - Mojito
Stamping Polish: Nails Inc - New York Noir
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster H04, H05

Stamping Plate: MoYou 94

This particular stamping plate is from MoYou, it is backed which helps stops the sharp edges from cutting you, which is a good thing for clumsy people like me.

 

The stamping plate has seven images in it and all of them stamped really well, I was concerned that the Ying Yang symbol would be difficult as I have some problems stamping large deep images but this worked fine.

I got this plate for the ankh symbol really but I do like the other images. Something which is annoying for me is stamping plates which have foreign symbols on, and that would be fine if they had a translation for it as I really don't like to wear something on my nails I don't understand the meaning of. In this case the symbol as far as I can tell is the symbol for 'om'.

Another Golden Oldie Challenge day which means another chance to use some of my older polishes.

Stamping Polish: George Molten Metals - No.5 Party Animal

Stamping Polish: Bundle Monster H07

Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Purple, Blue and Green #2

This is the second of the Tri-Polish Challenge for this month. The colours are Purple, Blue and Green. If you want to join or want to know more about this then you can do here.

I chose to use Sinful Colors Verbena, Barry M Blue Plum (blackberry) and Barry M Guava.

I did a bit of stamping along with using a new glitter polish as a bit of skittle nails.

Polishes Used: Sinful Colors - Verbena, Barry M - Guava

Glitter Polish: Claire's - Dizzy

Stamping Polish: Barry M - Blue Plum (blackberry)

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster H16

Stamping Plate: MoYou 72

This particular stamping plate is from MoYou, it is backed which helps stops the sharp edges from cutting you, which is a good thing for clumsy people like me.

 

There are seven images on this plate, hand and foot prints as well as some paw prints.

All of the designs stamped relatively well, the hand print didn't transfer properly here or did the footprint however this was my first attempt at using the XXL squishy stamper and I think that could be the reason for the problems I was having. This is a great plate for doing Halloween or crime scene nails.

Finish:  Cremé
Opacity: Two Coats
