Time Period Challenge: Ancient Rome

The nails I have attempted to do really don't do ancient Rome justice. I kept failing every attempt at this and this was the fourth attempt at something. I did want to do the roman wall but I just couldn't get it right. Anyhow this is supposed to be Caesars laurel wreath, some grapes and the roman shield.

Base Polish: ELF - Innocent
Stamping Plate: M71

Tri-Colour Nail Challenge: Pink, Orange and Turquoise #1

This is the second month of a new nail challenge, you are set three colours and you select three polishes to represent each colour. Four days, four different manicures using said polishes. I ended up doing this for the first challenge:

These are the three polishes which are to be used for these challenges. Expect to see three more for this month. ELF's Gum Pink, La Femme's Ultra Gold and Collection 2000's Electric Dreams.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 07

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

All of the designs stamped really easily, I think I like the filigree pattern the best from this plate. If you were wanting to see some other designs I have used this plate in then feel free to click here.

Sunday Stamping: Spring Colours

Another Sunday rolled around and I have no idea where this week went! Far too much stress! Anyhow on to the nails which is of course what you all came to see, the challenge was spring colours and this green I thought was a nice basic spring time colour. A bit of a ornithological theme.

Base Polish: Barry M - Greenberry Hi Shine
Stamping Polish: W7 - Black
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster BM11
Bird Stickers: From Fake Tattoos, review coming soon

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 04

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

I found all of the images stamped well the poodle, I can get it work work 1 in 4 times. But other than I really like the filigree design and the fish bones.
