Time Period Challenge: Futuristic

Today's challenge is the last one, the prompt is 'futuristic' and I decided to do a USB as in the future I have no doubts that you will be able to hook yourself up to some sort of computer and you can pay for nail polish like that, or be able to download what images you have seen in order to print them out or make them in to jpg's. For the other nails I just sponged some colours over them.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 15

This stamping plate is from the first Bundle Monster set, it is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is exceptionally handy, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms.

Again this stamping plate worked well and all the images stamped well. The feather is interesting and the lizard is cute! If you were wanting to see some other designs I have used this plate in then feel free to click here.

Then and Now Nails: Animal Print

Another look back at some animal print nail art I did back in the summer of 2010, my stamping skills clearly have improved however my choice of topcoat needs reassessing!

Sunday Stamping: Birth Stone

The glowing ruby shall adorn,
Those who in July are born;
Then they'll be exempt and free
From love's doubts and anxiety.

Seeing as my birthday is in July that makes my birth stone Ruby. If only wearing a ruby helped with all doubts and anxieties! Anyhow on with the nails...
