GOT: Turquoise

I have used Barry M's Guava for this, I got this in June 2013. The polish is so hard to photograph, it looks blue in the photo but it is much more turquoise in real life.

SIMPLES: Saran Wrap / Clingfilm

The Crumpet has a new challenge going, to help teach nail art from the simple to the master.

So week 4 and the task to master is the Saran Wrap / Clingfilm method, I prefer 'The Bag Dab' which is essentially the same thing, albeit with a plastic carrier bag rather than the saran wrap / clingfilm. You can see my tutorial for 'The Bag Dab' here, and here are some of my examples:

Sunday Stamping: 4th July

Polishes Used:
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Models Own - True Blue
ELF - Light Red
Barry M - Holograms
Kleancolor - Silver Star

Stamping Polish: Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster - H25

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 302 (BM302)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

This plate has 2 full nail image and 4 single images, as you can see they all stamped across really well. The holly image would lend itself very easily to make a festive nail decal too.
