Swatch: Golden Rose - Jolly Jewels 115

I got this in the hope it was a dupe for China Glaze It's A Trap-Eze which had sold out and I couldn't find it anywhere. I think it is actually very close to a dupe of that, the base is a milky colour and the China Glaze version seems to have a milky with a very slight blue hint. Not much in it and as this is easy to get a great dupe. For swatches of It's A Trap-Eze do check The PolishAholic.

Nails: Birthday!

These are the nails I had for my actual birthday, thumb nails was supposed to be fireworks but I don't think it particularly worked. It's a shame the holographic glitter didn't show up too well for the photo either but with the sun actually shining my nails did twinkle.

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

bundle-monster-BM15-stamping-plate-review-over-view

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.
