Time Period Challenge: Renaissance

Seeing as I am not the best at doing human faces I thought this week I could portray the Renaissance Era without faces. Any guesses as to who the two people are supposed to be?

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 09

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

All of this images stamped clearly and easily. A couple of images perfect for Valentine's Day here. If you would like to see any nail art I have done using this plate then feel free to click here.

Swatch: Models Own - Gold Rush

I was contacted by Littlewoods to review a couple of Models Own nail polishes, my first thought was I didn't even know they sold cosmetics! But apparently they do along with Barry M, OPI, Nails Inc, Butter London, Bourjois, Rimmel and NYX and as we all know it is vitally important to know of all nail polish outlets and in this case nailcare products at Littlewoods.

On to the nail polish, this one is Gold Rush (NP 106).

Colour: Gold
Finish: Glassflecked rather than a foil
Opacity: Two coats
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? 14ml

I'm not sure if this colour really works with my skin tone, but I imagine on a deeper skin tone it would look amazing. So I thought I would use Gold Rush as a base for a bit of nail art:

Sunday Stamping: Lilac Base

As the title suggests this weeks challenge was to stamp over a lilac base, I used ELF's Lilac.
