Stamping Plate: Nicole Diary - L12

Another plate I don't remember when specifically I bought it but it was in 2020.


The stamping plate comes with a blue protective layer which you peel off and branded backing. It is a large plate measuring at 145mm by 950mm.

The majority of the images on this plate are designed for Halloween and spooky season as a whole. All the images stamp across well, and the engraving works fine.

I've used this plate in a few sets of nails;

Topic Tuesday: Underrated Nail Brand


Barry M has been around since the 80's in the UK, I think as a nail brand they are often over looked for something more sparkly or more holographic. The Gelly line is pretty basic in terms of colours but they do make good basic cream polishes which are a good staple in any polish collection.

Finish | Jelly Base with Flakies
Opacity | Three Coats Shown
Brush Type | Standard
How Much | 12ml

As this is iridescent it was difficult to photograph, the above photo is most accurate.

Because the polish is so packed with flakies the formula is tricky to work with and left my nails feeling chunky.
